Hi all,

Quick intro!
I'm Steve, been living in Cologne since September 2012, around 6 months or so...
Would be great to get a bit more involved in the local craic in and around the city, and maybe make a few friends along the way!

If you're local/localish get in touch

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve,

I would consider my self local-ish, I mean I was born and raised in Cologne, but spent the last 3 years in the UK, on and off basically. I am currently studying in Edinburgh, but I will (unfortunately) move back to Cologne in August. I'll also spend some time at home in June before I go back to Edinburgh to finish of this tiny dissertation thingy...

I also left a note in one of the Stammtisch threads, so hopefully I'll be able to come along to something very soon and meet more wonderful international people :)

See you soon!

Jas

Hey Jas,

Glad to hear you're enjoying your time in Edinburgh!
I left in September, Edinburghs a beautiful city for sure, but it was definitely time for a change for me, and Cologne is also very nice :)

I've not looked at this Stammtisch thread yet but will go and see what all the fuss is about now :D

Steve
