looking for friends in Zurich!

Hi everyone!

My name is Ewelina and I am a newcomer;-) I am 24, teacher of English currently living in Zurich. I have no friends here, that's why I would be happy to meet up from time to time.
I like sport, outdoor activities as well as talking to intellignet people. I am interested in crime, volunteering as well as teaching of course.

I am staying in Zollikon at this moment.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Re: looking for friends in Zurich!

Age 24 is pretty young for a teacher with qualifications required in Switzerland. But it's nice to see two newbies getting on so well .

That's all I'll say.

Re: looking for friends in Zurich!

Tom, I think it's very encouraging that a number of single young lonely female newbies are posting.

or...

You don't think....

My introduction is there for all to see. So is yours. Forgive me if I'm slightly cynical. How did the Swedish lessons go BTW?

Welcome Ewelina!

Check out the social calendar and join us for one of the many events in Zurich - German conversation group on Wednesday nights, lunches in Zurich every once in a while (we have one this Friday at a South African restaurant), dinner events (A-Z of dining in Zurich), sports stuff...You name it, it's there, depending on what you like to do.

And the best event to "break the ice", so to speak, is the Unofficial Thursday Night Drinks at the Viadukt - we gather at the Markthalle in front of grumpy's cheese stand (his cheeses are amazing btw) and then we usually have one (or a few) drinks. The people who go weekly vary, a combination of newbies and oldies, but I tell you, it's always fun and a pleasure when I can make it.

Hope to meet you soon in person!
