Hi everyone, this is Steph, a kiwi girl relocating to Basel after 2 years in Milan and many years in New Zealand. I arrive in mid-March, start new job 2nd April (conveniently and narrowly missing April Foll's day). I have a million questions but will do a bit of surfing b4 boring you all half to death...but I will be looking for an apartment, so anyone who knows of anything coming up please let me know - i have several websites 4 now, but if you know someone who knows someone...you get the idea.

However, burning question..i have a logistocal problem getting my bicycle (and maybe a box of stuff) from Milan to Basel, is anyone driving up in next 5 weeks that may be able to assist on this? i would be forever grateful - i do wine and can cook, can be a running and/or cycling buddy  :) cheers, steph
