Welcome and Introductions

Hello!!

My husband, Matt, and I will be moving to Lausanne in March. He got a Post-Doc position at EPFL, and I get to not work for a while! I'm so excited to meet new people and do new things! If you have any advice I'll take it! Btw, I love running, wine, and want to learn French...

Welcome. Heather. I moved to the Lausanne area with my wife about six months ago and have also not been working. If I can help with anything, let me know!

Hi Kenny,

I would love to get together for a picnic! There are a couple others on the forum that I think would like to come out, too. Is there any time/day that works for you? Let me know and I'll try to put something together.

Talk to you soon,

Heather

Hi Heather,

I'm a novice runner, also enjoy wine and will be learning French too. We'll be moving there this summer and will also be around the Lausanne area. I like the idea of finding an exchange partner who wants to learn English and will help with French in return as well as taking some classes. I don't have any tips as this is all very new and a complete change from our current desert surroundings. But I too am happy to receive any advice people can give.

Hi Heather,

I've just moved to Lausanne myself to join my husband who has been here just over a year. Need to get to know more people, especially as I'm not working at the moment, so if you fancied meeting up sometime for a coffee or, even better, a glass of wine then PM me.

PS Would be up for a picnic too if the invites an open one

14
Hi! The picnic invite is definitely open to all who want to come! I would love to meet by the lake, or just have drinks somewhere if the weather isn't cooperative... Is there a weekend that works for people??

15
Free anytime apart from couple of weekends in June!

Do I sound a bit desperate to get to know people....?!!

Hi,

I would also like to join your picnic if you don't mind..?

This weekend I am not available (mother's day in Switzerland), but maybe any of you have some time for after-work drinks? Or what about the chocolate exposition in the leĢman centre, crissier? We could taste chocolate and have a chat

About me: I am 25 years old, just started an internship at epfl and would like to meet some people.

Bye
