Re: Hello from Fribourg

Hello and welcome to Fribourg. It seems to be more and more popular for ex-pats of all nationalities to settle in the city/canton. Best wishes for your new life here. Enjoy.

Sorry that sounded a wee bit 😜. What I meant is the ex pat community here are a great friendly bunch who welcome everyone with open arms. And Fribourg itself is gorgeous. I hope you'll be as happy as we are. And coffee is still on if you fancy it! 😃

Re: Hello from Fribourg

Hi baltmaize, it nice to have you join us here. Welcome to the forum and to Fribourg.

Hey, Faybay, how come your location still says UK? Are you homesick already? Just kidding.

Re: Hello from Fribourg

Hello everybody

I'm Swiss and I intend to relocate to Fribourg as soon as I will have found work there. As it is always a bit difficult to settle in a new environment and especially make new friends, I thought it could be a good idea to contact you expats who live in and around Fribourg. Maybe you would like to help a Swiss to settle down in another city.

I love English, but I haven't had enough opportunities to practise it on a regular basis for some years now. That's a pity and I hope to find a job where I can use it again daily.

I'm 36 years old, open-minded, interested in a lot of things, love to spend time with friends, like to go skiing, love reading, watching a good movie or eating a nice meal...

What do you think? Anyone willing to help?

Cheers, Samira

Hi Samira, nice . If you are moving to the German part, I have more info. As for the French part, not at all my world. Still strangers are friends that we have yet to meet. Welcome to Fr.

Re: Hello from Fribourg

Hi isabellano9 welcome to the EF, and welcome to the area. You are living in a beautiful part. Do you have a boat ? .Good luck with the dinner, not for me, but thank you. You could try to place it on the social events. You might get a few more replies. I have met some wonderful people from the EF down your way. I wish you luck.

Re: Hello from Fribourg

Hi everyone!

I'm finally here in Fribourg. I moved last weekend. I would love to meet some you who live in or around Fribourg. Anyone interested? I'm 37 years old and Swiss, no expat. I hope that doesn't cause any troubles. I love English and would love to use it more often.

So, if you're up to meeting me for drink or a walk or whatever, let me know! I'd be very pleased!

See you (hopefully!)
