New Girl from London has arrived.... on the search for new friends!! :-))))

Bonjour!!


Although i've been on Glocals a few months i actually only arrived 10 days ago. I have already fallen in love with the place!! :-) But like most people i'm missing my friends from home so i'm hoping to find some fun like minded people to hang out and explore the city with!


I'm 26, originally from London and now living in Eaux Vive. I'm open minded, love to travel, love experiencing new places and meeting new people. There seems to be so many great bars and cafes to explore here in Geneva so would be great to meet some new poeple to go for a coffee or glass of wine with. I'm also a shopaholic so if theres any girls out there that need a shopping buddy im your girl! ;-)


 


I speak basic french and will be continuing my lessons here (so if anyone knows of a good private tutor or wants to do language exchange please let me know).


 


Best Wishes,


 


Emily

Hi Emily ,


Welcome to Geneva and glocals!! Check the "things to do" and the "Groups" section to find events and activities and get you on your way to meeting people and knowing Geneva.


I'm sure you will meet a lot of great people.


Come back here to the forum if you have any questions, helpful people around here, so posting and searching will get you all the answers you need.


Enjoy!

Welcome to Geneva, Em!


What brings you here? Lemme guess: if you're a London girl, you're probably a banker, and Geneva full of banks, so that's it. Correct?

Actually Nir your wrong! Im not a banker. I work for a consultancy firm within the luxury goods market. But it was a good guess as there is indeed a lot of english bankers here!

Hi Emily- I'm in the same boat, I arrived last Saturday from London and don't know anyone either. Unfortunately I can't help you with the French, as I am pants, but can help in the coffee/wine/shopping area of things :)   


Let me know if you fancy meeting up.


Take care,


Nina

ps: it's nice to see this thread, which is an example of how this site works. a person just arrives in geneva and posts something, and within hours other people volunteer to help out. doesn't hurt that em's picture is not un-attractive, but i've seen the same dynamics also when there's no pic

Hey Emily,


I also just arrived and don't really know anyone yet either. I've also seen a lot of cute bars and cool places to have drinks, go out and of course also some nice shops :)


Let me know if you're up for drinks, coffee or anything else really :) I'm usually up for most things! :)


Take care,


Sara

Hi Marina,


Also from London although have been living in GVA for a long time now. So welcome. Switzerland has a lot to offer, it is beautiful, has mountains, lakes, great skiing, etc. Don't make the mistake of comparing Geneva to London. Both places have a lot to offer in their own unique way. Great sites like Glocals, WRS, etc are very useful for discovering what is happening entertainment wise. If you want to explore, the trains are marvellous and run on time - a huge shock for me when I first arrived afer growing up in London.


Cheers
