Norwegian family moving to Horgen

Hi, we are a family with two daughters (2 and 4.5 years old) who just moved to Horgen. My wife, is staying home with the kids (she would love to start working as a nurse again after some time) and I am working in Zurich in the IT industry.

The kids would love to meet other kids in Horgen, anyone out there? They really do not care if it is raining, sunny or windy (being from Norway :-). They so far only speaks Norwegian, but I guess they will speak German after some time. My wife speaks English and some German, and so do I.

We have some experience with moving to new countries as a family (Sweden and California), and so far we have had lots of fun. We are looking forward to more swimming in the lake and skiing in the mountains.

Re: Norwegian family moving to Horgen

Hi and welcome to Switzerland! I moved to Zurich two years ago from the UK (although we're originally from Australia) with my family, husband and now 4.5 year old daughter. We've just moved to Meilen, which is across the lake from you, although only ten minutes with the car ferry, which also takes foot passengers. We loved Norway when we visited a few years ago.

Good luck settling in and please feel free to PM me if you have any questions or if you're wife would like to get together. The kids wouldn't be able to talk to each other but that doesn't seem to matter!

Kate

Re: Norwegian family moving to Horgen

Hi and we welcome to you all Switzerland / Horgen.
My wife and I used to live just outside Oslo and we both (used to?) speak some Norwegian (she was an au pair there). We lived in Horgen until December and now live in Hirzel (not far away behind Horgen on the hill).

We don't have kids but send a PM if you want to meet up - would be happy to show you around etc.

Welcome! From Norway you are, the most beautiful country in Europe...? I once almost got stuck in Bergen, imagine why

Your wife's Norwegian education will be very much appreciated at local hospitals, many of her countrymen work already there. If she learned a little more German in the meantime, she will have no trouble finding a job.

No, that would be Iceland, but Norway nr. 2

Welcome to Swiss Norway. I think Scandinavian social night is soon needed. Too bad most of you are in Zurich.
