Hi,

My girlfriend and I live in San Francisco. One of us is also a EU citizen. We are both professionals and considering Switzerland as a place to raise a family. We have developed careers in Banking and Technology.

We have gathered a lot of information on the internet but we would appreciate actually chatting with some U.S. expats and listening to their experiences. If anyone has done a similar move (California -> Switzerland) we'd appreciate if you were available to contact you for some more relevant info (e.g. a feel of the more day-to-day life, transition problems etc).

Also, to get some first hand information we are planning to visit the two big cities in the fall. Are you aware of any expats events taking place in September ?

Thanks a lot!
