How I Found My Tribe in Lausanne

Moving to a new city can feel isolating, especially when you don’t know anyone. This is the story of Emma, an expat who moved to Lausanne and, through City Mates, turned her experience into one filled with meaningful connections and lifelong friendships.

Emma’s Journey to Lausanne

‍When Emma relocated to Lausanne for work, she was excited about the city’s charm but nervous about making friends. “I didn’t know where to start. Everyone seemed busy, and I wasn’t sure how to meet people,” she recalls.

Feeling isolated, she searched online for ways to connect with others and discovered City Mates, a platform for finding and joining events tailored to her interests.

How City Mates Made a Difference

‍Emma’s experience transformed once she started using City Mates. Here’s how:

1. Joining Events: Emma began attending small, curated events like hiking trips near Lausanne and group dinners. “The app made it easy to find events where everyone was welcoming and open to meeting new people.”
2. Hosting Her Own Gatherings: After gaining confidence, Emma hosted a casual coffee meetup. “I was surprised by how many people joined, and it felt amazing to bring people together.”
3. Building a Supportive Community: Over time, Emma formed a close-knit group of friends from both expats and locals. “It’s incredible how quickly you can feel at home with the right people around.”
