Hi all... I've recently arrived from Australia...
anyone else in a similar situation?

Not me but welcome to EF!

Hi,
Welcome to Switzerland and welcome to the forum.

I just moved from Holland to Chavornay (a bit above Lausanne) about 6 months ago. And I love it here.
Wish you enjoying your time here

thank you for your replies & welcome.

are there any other Aussies, or Greek ex-pats now living in Lausanne?
anyone? anyone?

In Lausanne you have EPFL, there are a couple of female profs there who are from Greece. You'll soon find out that the Greek have quite a place in a variety of positions and locations in Switzerland.

Hey Welcome,

I have been here for 4 yrs let me know if you would like to meet up for a coffee..

Thanks!
Yes, would love to meet for a coffee... please PM me with details

Hi ive recently moved from the uk. I would love to meet for a coffee ,well tea. Let me know if you are interested.

hi Nicola
would definitely love to meet for a coffee/tea... I'll PM you

If you're in Lausanne is looking for a chance to have a cup of tea or coffee and some English conversation...

My parents (Alan and Paula Hill) run a free English speaking coffee morning once a week at our church. They also offer 'propper' English tea - PG Tips no less .

It's on Wednesday mornings between 9h30 and 12 noon at Lausanne Free Church on Chemin des Fleurettes, about 10 - 15 minutes walks away from the train station. (Our church is not in the building on that road that looks like a church... we meet in what used to be a shop on the ground floor of an apartment block).

There's no obligation to have any kind of religious beliefs or have any 'Christian' conversation.

Children are welcome!

You can find more information here: http://www.lausanne-english-church.com/

They'd be very glad to see new faces.

thanks for letting me know Vlh22

..nope never arrived from Australia but nevertheless, welcome to the forum.

Hi Eleni,

I'm Croatian, but I lived in Australia (Syd+ Melb) for 5 years - one of my favorite places on Earth!

I also lived in Greece for 2 years - my husband is Greek (and I speak Greek). We have been here for 6 years now - he works here and I have been at home with 2 kids.

Where do you come from and how come you're here?

If you want to catch up feel free to email me on:

hi Ivana

thanks for your msg.
i was born & raised in Melbourne by Greek parents.
but I also lived in Greece for 14 months a few years ago.

my husband's work has brought us to Switzerland.
we're one month in, and we're loving it...

it'd be lovely to catch up some time, thanks!

Hi, I may be potentially moving to Lausanne from September to live with my partner. I’m a london girl and i feel that moving to Lausanne is more than a big move/adjustment for me. I’m into a lot of Vintage markets clothes etc... you name it, i love it. I don’t speak french or german, english is my only language but i’m nigerian.

In terms of Fashion, Styling and Media related opportunities are there any places anyone can recommend me to in Lausanne or within the geneva area..

I look forward to hearing from you x

Nice to see this posting I am not Greek but I lived in Melbourne and Sydney for almost 9 years. I moved to Switzerland 9 months ago, it's very nice to meet with people who lived in Australia before. Welcome to Switzerland maybe we can meet some times for a coffee

Hi Eleni,

I am a Greek Australian from Melbourne as well. I'll be moving to Laussane in July. It would be great to meet up.
