Hi! I'm from everywhere and nowhere, a former Air Force BRAT and spouse. While I'm not so very new to Columbus, having moved here in 2018 from neighboring Illinois, I'm always looking to make new connections and more friends. I work at the library and lead the Newcomers book club. Join us!

My name is Jennifer Ehara. I have 2 boys, one girl, and 3 dogs. I’m originally from Illinois, and have been in Columbus since 2004. My hobbies are sewing, cooking, and anything outdoors. I speak Japanese and Spanish and am a career ESL teacher. 

Hello! I moved to Columbus with my husband and two small children from Poland. Found the Newcomers Club in 2023 and have been enjoying Book Club and other fun gatherings. 

I moved from Germany to the US and eventually ended up in Columbus in 2014. I immediately fell in love with the international vibe of this midwestern city and finding the Columbus Newcomers Club in 2015 has connected me with people from all over the world.  When you meet people from Sweden and then get invited to visit them there - that's a win-win :-)

Originally from Michigan, my husband and I bought a home in Columbus in June, 2020. When Covid finally relaxed, I was so happy to find this group! Columbus Newcomer’s saved my sanity! I enjoy bringing people together for fun as well as learning experiences. Whether you are new in town or you’ve been around a long time, we all need a network of support, and you can cultivate that here with ease. I hope you join us!
