@Julien

Hello!  My name is Tim. I have a solid job opportunity at a local geneve NGO and goal is to move by end of 2024.

a bit about me:

US citizen

transport/auto industry and standards development professional w/extensive experience  in  non-profit, policy, and gov’t

do not speak french. yet

married and my wife and I are approx 60 yrs old but like to live young

love travel and am very enamored of living in EC (visited many times tho never lived in EC)


I am trying to learn about living in geneva. My biggest concerns are managing the hi living costs, understanding cost/benefit of where to live in the geneve canton, and my wife finding work once we’re there.
