Meet The Team

Hallo! Ich komme ursprünglich aus Kapstadt in Südafrika und lebe seit fast zehn Jahren in der Schweiz. Ich liebe es, Menschen zusammen - zubringen und habe mich deshalb diesem Team angeschlossen, das neue und bereits in Adliswil lebende Personen miteinander vernetzen möchte. Ich spreche Englisch und Deutsch

und freue mich darauf, dich bei „Adliswil Connect“

oder beim „Adliswil Amateur Running Club“ kennenzulernen. Seit einiger Zeit engagiere ich mich freiwillig in der Schweiz. Während der Covid‑Zeit war

ich in der Nachbarschaftshilfe aktiv und habe zudem

eine Spendenaktion für die Ukraine organisiert. Zurzeit

arbeite ich in einem Umfeld, in dem ich Menschen

dabei unterstütze, ihr Leben selbstbestimmt zu

gestalten eine Aufgabe, die mir sehr viel Freude bereitet.

I am a middle‑aged gay man who has felt deeply connected to Adliswil since 2012. Belonging matters

to me, and I want to contribute more through meaningful volunteer work. I believe community grows through proximity, everyday interactions, and genuine human connection. My interests—museums, art, architecture, photography, and fashion—are passions I enjoy sharing.

I value open, respectful conversations about identity, diversity, and inclusion, and I see differences as opportunities for growth. Analytical, open‑minded,

social, and supportive, I love connecting people

and helping create environments where everyone

feels seen, respected, and welcomed.

I am a purpose‑driven person who thrives on helping others and creating positive impact. I believe deeply

in the power of community and love bringing people together in ways that foster belonging, cooperation,

and shared purpose. My involvement in Adliswil

Together reflects my commitment to strengthening connections and supporting initiatives that make

our city more welcoming. I value an active, balanced lifestyle and draw energy from sports, nature, and

creative expression through art. Reliable, motivated,

and community‑oriented, I’m inspired by meaningful collaboration and enjoy exchanging ideas in English, German, or Greek.

I am a dedicated homemaker with a strong passion for nurturing families and building supportive communities. Over the past years, I have served as a committed virtual social worker, mentoring underprivileged children in India and helping them grow through guidance, encouragement, and educational support.Now based

in Zurich, I am eager to contribute my time, empathy,

and organizational skills to local community initiatives.

I believe that care, connection, and small acts of support can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I look forward to learning from others, sharing my experiences, and working together to help create a more inclusive and caring community in Zurich.

Hi, I’m Bernadett. I’ve been living in Switzerland for six years, and for the past two and a half years in Adliswil. I’m naturally an outgoing, smiling person, which helps me connect with others easily—I love chatting with people and listening to their stories. When I first moved here from Hungary, this was challenging because I only spoke German, so I spent the last few years learning English. I’m very active in my free time and enjoy hiking, walking, and doing Zumba. I also love baking and I’m a big coffee fan. I joined Adliswil Together to give back some of the kindness and support I’ve received over the years. If you’d like to chat in English, German, or Hungarian while going for a walk in Adliswil, feel free to reach out!

Hi, I’m Paola. I’m originally from Argentina and have been living in Switzerland since 2009. After many years in the French‑speaking part of the country, I moved to Adliswil in 2021—a city I truly love and feel grateful to call home. Creating spaces where people can meet, share, and feel welcome genuinely motivates me. I believe community grows when there are opportunities for connection, creativity, and exchange. I appreciate different cultures and enjoy learning from others and sharing experiences. Curious and creative, I always find room for new ideas. I’m enthusiastic, open‑minded, and happy to contribute my energy to a more connected and welcoming Adliswil.

I speak English, Spanish, Italian, French, and a little German.
