 Connecting the dots from Geneva to Nyon

Moving to a new country away from family and friends is hard. Add a language barrier and you can quickly feel overwhelmed and isolated.

The HUB Geneva helps “connect the dots” so you feel settled more quickly. 

We do this in 3 different ways:

HUB Events

meet others with zero pressure

 

HUB Blog

read people’s real experiences, not just the gloss, because the challenges are real

 

Useful Resources

access the online gems we truly rely on to navigate local life

 

We are here to make sure you don’t feel alone

all the time, but definitely more than anyone thought.”

Together we are stronger and happier

The HUB has been so useful.  Walk & Talk is a great chance to meet new people in different situations, and I always find out something new when I go.  Although now I seem to be answering more questions than I ask, which is definitely progress!
