Andres Prieto aus Kolumbien
Manchmal scheint es so als habe der Kreis 8 magnetische Kräfte. Zumindest was die Anziehungskraft für interessante Personen aus aller Welt anbelangt. Die Expats im Quartier haben oft spannende Lebensläufe und Geschichten im Gepäck. Hier erzählen sie, warum sie im Seefeld heimisch geworden sind. Und sollten auch Sie aus der Ferne kommen und hier (mehr oder weniger lang)... [weiter]
Met at the Lake Zurich: Ashly Jernigan
I am Ashly Jernigan. I am from the United States. I am a freelance illustrator. I am a mother. I am a feminist. And… I live in Seefeld. After almost 8 years here, I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how this became my home. After my first visit to Europe as a college student, I remember returning to my hometown, Sedona, AZ, and telling everyone, «That was fun, but I... [weiter]
Met at the Monocle Shop & Café: Julia Pala

Expat Aline Melo, Interior Designer, Dkore
Hello, my name is Aline. I’m from Brazil, but my little story starts in Amsterdam. Having been born and raised in Recife, the so-called Brazilian Venice, I was excited to be visiting Europe for the first time. But that particular day – 14th of September in 2010 – it was cold and rainy. So after having strolled through the narrow alleys of Amsterdam all afternoon, I was drenched... [weiter]
Expat Nadia Riepenhausen, Senior Communications Lead, The Adecco Group
I’m originally from Zimbabwe and have lived in Switzerland for 13 years. I moved to Seefeld in 2021 in the midst of the pandemic, after spending many years living in Zug in the countryside. Covid changed my life dramatically - I changed jobs, got divorced and started a new life here in Seefeld. Living in Seefeld has been a game changer for me! I was so lucky to find my beautiful...
