aupair new to geneva area

Hey guys my name is Megan and im originally from Canada but have done quite a bit of traveling in the last 2 years ( Australia NZ Asia and Europe) and now am settled in a small town very close to geneva. Im working as an Aupair for a year, to experience france and try to learn french. I love traveling photography being outside and most importantly having people to do those things with. I havent really had the chance to meet anyone as I live in a small villiage and have been adjusting to life as an aupair.


Let me know if anyone wants to meet up if there in a simialar situation or if you live here and know about the city and want to show me some cool spots =)


Talk to you soon


Megan

Hey Megan!


Firstly, welcome to Switzerland/France/wherever you may actually be located...as you've probably realised, it can seem a little 'sleepy' compared to other cities/countries, but alas, don't fear, there ARE goings on! You'll not struggle to find others in a similar situation, or just generally cool people here, and Glocals is undoubtedly one of (if not THE) best way of sniffing these people out (actual sniffing optional).


I'm living in a small village too at the moment, but still working in Geneva, howeve I haven't yet done my RTW trip...which is of course next on my list of things to do! In which case, you could be a fountain of knowledge and advice on places to avoid like the plague, and places to not miss!


Don't judge Geneva on the winter...people tend to flock to the mountains for non-working hours!


Give me a shout if you're bored!

Hi Megan,


I'm from near Birmingham in the UK and I've just arrived to live with my boyfriend who works at CERN. I finished university in 2009 and then taught in a secondary school for two years. I'm also looking to improve my French through living here, but I agree that it can be daunting moving somewhere new and having to start from scratch- I've made some friends through my boyfriend but I'd definitely like to get out and about and do my own thing. If you'd like to maybe meet up and have a coffee or something then let me know.


 


Rhian.
