Hello!
My name is Lorenia, and I just moved to Geneva about a week ago. The apartment hunt is going awful, haven't been able to find anything furnished, good size, good price yet, but I'm sure something will pop up. :P

I moved here after spending a while in Spain, before that Denmark, and before *that* I worked in Cancun a couple years. I'm 24, a professional translator/editor, and I joined this site in hopes of meeting a few nice people, as I know NO ONE in the city. :)

I'm friendly and pretty outgoing.

Even the CERN accomodation/housing services haven't been much help. Everything is so far away or tiny. I've found a couple that seem okay online, but waiting for email replies and calling numbers where people don't answer is kind of agonizing. haha

I've seen a couple activities I might be interested in. I'll have to check 'em out!

Heres a website thats useful:

Pl. du Molard 3
1204 Gen?ve
Suisse
Tel : 022 319 97 97 (they are helpful).

Yes, the apartment search is terrible here. Tasmin's recos are good, though. She also posted a few more suggestions in the "where/how" forum a few days ago -- I think under the headline of something like "reasonable hotels." So check those out,a nd maybe something will turn up. Good luck! See you at a new member drinks sometime soon!

And we may have found a place! It's at the top of our budget, but it includes utilities and inet, fully furnished, washer, perfect location for both of us. I hope no one sees it before we do tomorrow and steals it!

A lot of the places we've seen want to start renting in August. So the recommendation of reasonable hotels is a good one, as we might have to find a place to stay for a month if we can't find a reasonable sublet.

So far this site is great. Everyone has had very useful advice. :)
