Cost of living in Geneva for an average month

Published 2020-01-31
This video is part one of a playlist dedicated to the logistics of moving to Geneva, where I talk about the costs of moving and living in Geneva, finding a job and apartment, about health insurance, apartment insurance and all other aspects of migrating to Geneva.

In this video, I talk about the costs of living in Geneva for an average month. As all such videos, it has a highly subjective character, but hopefully, it will still give you a rough idea of what are the costs of living here.

  • @giorgioortiz
    So far I really like Sympany for health insurance. It's the second cheapest, but it's also very English--friendly and it's customer service is great. It's Basel-based, so even though it's available in Geneva, for some reason it's not common here.
  • @nicktrevi2990
