Trailing spouse get together [gathering interest Zurich]

Since I recently moved to Zurich to be with my husband I've been doing a lot of reading up on this forum about how to cope with the huge change and what to do to keep myself busy! The forum has been very helpful with tips and ideas and I happy to know that I'm not the only one feeling the way I do sometimes. Another thing I realised is that there are quite a few people in my situation... new to the city, a little lonely at times, needing to get out more, so I was wondering if any of you would be interested in meeting for coffee or lunch or a glass of wine?

I haven't as yet organised an official event... just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in something like that!

Hi there and welcome! I too have recently moved to Walchwil, near Zug, from the UK a couple of months ago. I think that is an excellent idea and would love to join you!

Great idea, there are always those who'd like to get out during the day. Considering the number of 'trailing' spouses and others free, we ought to have more lunch / coffee events

Hey, I'd come from Bern if you do it when I'm around (am on my way to the US for a couple of weeks tomorrow).

Re: Trailing spouse get together [gathering interest Zurich]

Hi,

there used to be a regular meeting of spouses (and others) on Wednesday afternoons (after 4:00pm) at D-Vino near the Hauptbahnhof. Unfortunately, I have not been able to attend for several months, so do not know whether they still take place.

But, you can just go there one Wednesday afternoon and look for a large group of English speakers ....

The afternoon drinks which used to be at D'Vinos are actually at Corazon Bar this week (13 Jan), starting at 4.00 pm - see the listing under "Late afternoon drinks" for further details. It's a great way of getting to know people if you're new to the city.
