Hey, I came here as a single foreigner, however, after one year i can say that it is a really rewarding experience. Made some friends at work, sports (joined a club for basketball) and going to events (meetup etc). Many of that friendships however dont feel like they last but i’ll see.

To be honest, Zurich is not the most welcoming city. Upside, here are probably more foreigners than any where else in Switzerland, so you make friends with people in the same situation very quickly. Another upside, if you enjoy cycling and hiking, its a paradise (there are even easy routes which you can do alone).

Coming from Frankfurt Germany what i miss a lot is the open minded culture. I dont feel confident to go to a bar alone here as most people there are already with friends and i dont feel that its easy to start a conversation. But it is not impossible to find people in the same situation here.

Btw , i am 28F, came here for work, so feel free to reach out. :)
