| Hello all,
I'm from California where we have beautiful sun for more than half the year, beaches everywhere and always something to do. I'm currently living here in Switzerland and finding it extremely hard not to be depressed. I've made a couple friends (an American and a German) which I hang out with, but coming from a culture where you always have at least 10 people to call for fun, I feel really lonely. I live in Wollerau, about 30 minutes from Zürich, so there's really no social scene in my area or opportunity for me to meet new people. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get more familiar with fun things around here and meet fun people around my age? | |

Substitute mountains for beaches: go climbing, mountain biking, skiing - it's great fun.
EF for lots of English speaking friends.
And just go to pubs and start talking in English to people your own age - they'll happily join in.
But stick to it - I went through the rough times too, but then I bought a bike and went cycling everywhere and had a real blast.
