Hello Everyone,

My name is Harrison I am from New York & California and recently relocated to Tunis for my work. I do spend most of my time working but would love to make some new friends to hang out with :).

I am not a French speaker though *yet!* which has made it difficult to go out and socialize!

Harrison

Hello everybody,

I will be moving to Tunisia in July 2017. I will be in La Marsa area.
My son is 14 y, would be looking for new friends speaking English. Any advice for activities or clubs for the boy? Looking as well for a trustworthy lady to help us, run the house. I am a working single mother.

Kind regards

Layla :)

teacherflan

Wish you all the best! I am moving to the same area the first week in August. I will be teaching at an international school. Perhaps we might run into each other.
Long way from North Carolina

Gallius

Hello,
I'm Frederic from Geneva.
I'm living in Tunisia where I work as Programme Officer on the UNEP. I also managed to start a fashion society there.
It's quite hard to live in Tunisia as they are not used to laws and to regularity. But i'm trying to do it as much as possible.
I love meeting new people, from everywhere, living in this country.

Gallius

Hello Layla,
Welcome to this country. I've been there since approximately 3 years now and I managed to learn their language. It's not easy but I did it.
I would be really happy to meet you and to help you as much as possible.

See you soon.

teacherflan

Hey there

Peace and safe travels

Hi there,

I'm a French professional currently living in London. I am moving to Tunis on the 5th of September.

I am super excited to start a new life with new projects there and meet you all! I am especially keen to get to know fellow entrepreneurs and share about Tunisian startups and projects in the digital/tech sector.

Look forward to connecting with you before my arrival!

Regards,

Florence

mouradk70

Hi to all
You all welcome in Tunisia, I hope you find what you're looking for.
Best regards

florence_n

Thank you very much Mourad, see you soon then!
Best wishes,

Ozitoun

Bonjour Florence,
I hope you are doing well.

Cordialement ,

Olivier

Ozitoun

Florence,
J'espere que tout va bien.
Que Tu commences a t'exciter pour experimenter un pays du tier monde
C'est fascinant!
Il faut avoir un coeur ouvert
Un esprit ouvert
Et prendre les choses telle qu'elles sont
Les admirer et les Aimer sans vouloir les juger..
On reste on contact.

Kind Regards,

Olivier zitoun

mouradk70

Cher Ozitoun
La Tunisie est connu, depuis longtemps, par sa tolérance et sa solidarité. Elle est ouvert sur toutes les civilisations. Rien ne craindre  en Tunisie.
Avec mes respects

Ozitoun

Florence,
I checked around for you for Airb&b
To my astonishment the average pricing for Tunis and banlieue is around $30/night
Which way too excessive in my opinion.
Having said that I had sent u my email and never heard from u thru that platform...
Bizarre!
If you find me intrusive I will abstain from further communications.
My intentions are noble, and I am a very sensitive man as I value true friendships....

Hello all,
Adam from Portland, Oregon USA. Leaving for Carthage next month with hopes of finding work and being able to build a life there. Never left the states, but always dreamed of it. My girlfriend will be teaching French in Tunis, so I have her as a resource for learning and improving my French. Still nervous that I won't know what to do, or how to get the paperwork going for employment. So far searching online from Portland has been very uninformative. I am a personal trainer who loves fitness, I am told that I may be able to find work in the tourist resorts. Any tips on things I can take care of, or prepare for before leaving are much appreciated. Thank you and I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you when I arrive in Tunisia.
Merci et au revoir
Adam

I am Shari, I am planning a move in November to Tunisia. I am looking for a beachfront house but am not sure where exactly yet. Where is the best places to live in Tunisia and the cheapest to make my money stretch

mouradk70

Hi Shari
You welcome in Tunisia. You can have house with beachfront in many wonderful places like Carthage, La Marsa, Hammamet, Nabeul, and so on, where you can live quietly.
Best wishes

in sha allah i will be getting married after the 15th of September in sousse too so would be nice to hear how things are going for you! in regards to paper work for marriage why so much documents unless you plan to apply for visa straight away but just for marriage the CONI and birth certificate will be efficient.
