Hi everyone!

I'm a Swedish girl, moving to Dar es Salaam on the 17th to conduct a study in political science.
I don't know much people in Dar so I would love to get in contact with other foreigners to grab a coffee or something.

All the best!

Hello Frida,

welcome to Dar. I'm just wondering,why would you be coming to Dar to meet other foreigners? I think those you can also meet in Sweden, no?

Just wondering,

Hi Neemsy!

That's a good question and I see your point! My main purpose is to meet locals and experience the culture of Dar es Salaam.
However, this is my first time travelling outside Europe and I'm going by myself. I expect it to be both interesting but demanding at times. When it's demanding I think it can be nice to sit down and talk to someone who has a similar background as you and who might share your experiences.
It can sometimes feel comfortable to meet someone who is similar to you when it comes to cultural context, but it's fare more interesting to meet someone different. I expect to meet locals throgh the study I'm performing, through an organization I'm in contact with and just walking down the street. It might be harder to run in to other Swedes, so that's why I posted this add.

Let me know if you wanna grab a coffee some day, I would look forward to that!

Regards,

Frida

Hi Frida,

I am from India, and will be moving to Dar anytime. Just waiting for one response. When you will be moving Dar? Whats your email address?

Frida , take care because in the eyes of some people in Dar a new swedish girl is like a wad of dollars + EU passport.
so gain  first some experience and than start with the local contacts.
Ofcourse there are some great people here,but first know the situation and don`t forget to be careful:)
