The REAL Gunter...

Some people have a Gunter when they arrive in a new city or country, most of us don't. Everyone should certainly have one.

The creators of this site had ‘a Gunter’ several times in their lives when they moved to new cities, and more often than not it was one and the same person: the real Gunter - granddad, dad and father-in-law. In relocations between four cities in two continents, the real Gunter was there for us helping with babysitting, shopping, looking up addresses, scouting a neighbourhood, checking out accommodation before we arrived, and most of all, keeping us company in the first mad weeks of settling in and finding our way around.

So that's what this site aims to do: to help you find your own Gunter who can answer all these mind-numbingly tricky questions when you are a continent away from your relocation city. Because for a local, it's child's play to get around town.

Wouldn't it be nice to give a newcomer to your city the occasional hint to steer them to the most enjoyable restaurants & cafés, best kindergartens, coolest bars, your favourite dentist or your local beach (or slope, depending where your home city happens to be on the world map) - and chances are you'll get to know some adventurous souls from far-away countries who pay you back, maybe, in free language lessons. Or just a friendship which lasts beyond your current city and job, for years to come.
