You & Me

Find a friend!

YOU

You have chosen our region as a stopover for a limited time or as your new home for the future. You are missing social contact with local people. You would like to build up your new social network or you like to improve your German skills for this purpose.

ME

Basel is my native city. I have always been fascinated about the international influence in our region and about contact with our large international population, different languages and cultures. Over time, it has become my passion to support new residents in settling in and to provide guidance to help them feel safe and at home in our region.

TOGETHER
