Hey, I'd like to thank you all for welcoming me to the forum. 

My name is John. In 2 weeks I will be moving to Switzerland from Michigan, USA. I am originally from Geneva, however I came to the states as a child and have lived here ever since. Switzerland has been calling me for a long time now and I am very excited to return. 

I will be based in Vaud, where I have family, until I begin my masters program in Lugano at the end of August. My plan while in Vaud is to acclimate myself to the Swiss lifestyle, strengthen my French, meet people and adventure around. I would like to get one of those GA travelcards so that I can be flexible with travel and take many day trips around the country. 

I consider myself an outgoing person. I enjoy music, sports, photography, a good beer, the outdoors, among other things. One thing I'm really looking forward to is hiking through the beautiful terrain Switzerland has to offer. 

Looking forward to being apart of this community and meeting some of you in the future.
