How to make friends in Geneva

Hello

My nam is Jacquie, I'm coming to Geneva next month, I need to meet nice people, make new friends, this will be my first time in Geneva, I'll be there for three months.

Please help me

if you want to meet the new faces of geneva, also looking to meet new people and make new friends, you will find this interesting...

A good tip is also to learn french and let people know about it. As a native I'm always more friendly when I meet somebody trying to learn my own language.

hi looking for friends

Hello, there!

I'm a Brazilian, used to Brazil super friendly environment, and I've been living in Geneva for seven months now... I found it a bit hard to make friends here, but even though I can't say i have maaaany friends, but I made some!

For me, the most effective way was to enroll in a French course, small talking to the colleagues and  inviting them to have drinks after class, to have dinner during weekends and so on. Same with office colleagues.

People don't always accept my invites so easily, but after insisting a bit, I get them to go and after all, some become friends...

Oh, and I also started a blog that I hope will help me meet more interesting people: http://www.jhabiteageneve.wordpress.com/
