Hi Sophie

I'm a little surprised that no-one has answered your message yet = generally speaking they are a friendly and helpful lot on Glocals.

Unfortunately we are a little far away from you in Evian-les-Bains France, but we lived very happily in the Begijnhof van Antwerpen [Sint Josef huisjie] for 15 years.

Anyway....... welcome to Geneva!

Yes. Welcome to Switzerland. I think you might love it here. It's like the cold version of Hawaii. The longer you stay, the more you see, the more people you meet and the more places you visit. The less you'll want to go home. It's a great place. And Geneva a great little city on the lake. You're going to have a great time. Hope to see you around. :)

Hi Sheila !

Thanks !! I come from Namur (Namen).

Thank you for your post. Yeah I'm living downtown Geneva but maybe one day we'll meet ;)

Have a nice evening

Hi Roman !

Thank you !! I'm in Geneva for one year and I really hope I'll it here !

I'm planning to enjoy it the most I can even though the weather is totally belgian for now :)

Hope to meet you once.

Hi Sophie,

How are you?

I'm also new in Geneva and looking forward to know new people in Geneva.

From Italy and working as a IT engineer.

Deepak

Welcome!

Hi Deepak !

I hope you enjoy the city, I arrived only 2 weeks ago and I know absolutely nobody but I'm always up to meet new people :)

Hey Belgian Boy !

I haven't spoken a word of Dutch in 2 years but I would be ready to try again :)

How long have you been in Geneva ?

Hi Sophie!

Hi Sophie,

Welcome to Geneva and to glocals! I'm sure you'll have a great time here.

Be sure to sign up for activities in Things To Do - Pub Quiz, Dancing, Dinner nights, movie nights, skiing, hiking, climbing, watching football, etc.

Also, look at the Groups and see if anything catches your fancy.

You've already found the forums: ask questions, respond to others. We're all very helpful and friendly here and one way to meet people is by chatting on the forums.

Finally, use the Classifieds if you are looking for an apartment, dentist, or you want to sell/offer something.

Have a great time and I hope we'll meet (in person or virtually) soon.

Hi Laura !!

I hope you're setlling fine here in Geneva. I arrived just 2 weeks ago so I'm still trying to figure everything out ;)

Well French is my mother tongue so I would say I speak it pretty good ahahahha

Good luck in your job seeking ;)

Hi Sophie and Laura,

My name is Ann and I just arrived 3 weeks ago too! I'm 25 and slowly getting to know Geneva - have moved here from the UK.
