Sorry I’m gonna type a long text to give more idea on what I’m looking for. I’m a Brazilian guy, 24 years old and I’m living for more than 1 year in NZ now. I’m working and starting some little business here, so I’ll stay for something like 5 years in NZ I guess. Not sure about. The big problem is that I’m living in a small town 100km far from Wellington. I used to have many friends back home, and I’m finding hard to socialize here, because this small town has few people of my age. I usually socialize with 24 to 34 years old people. Here in the town is more like 40+ aged people. When I see people that I think I’d socialize, they’re from Wellington. At the most I guess I’m nice bloke, I like to laugh and talk shit, but like smart conversations too, I like music as I was DJ back home, like to play guitar too.. and so on.. many things. I’m not so bad on socializing, I have no trouble on talking with good looking girls or not, and I really would like to meet more kiwi people (more than other foreigners) for a cultural exchange reason. So based on it, the questions: Question1: I want to make friends, but of course I’m considering have a girlfriend here. What I’ve liked about kiwi girls, some of them are pretty polite and easy to talk. So what do they thing about foreigners? I did see many cases of smart and pretty girls getting foreigner boyfriends, so I guess they are very open minded on this, eh? Question2: So, I’m ok to drive down and spend weekends or evenings in Wellington to get socialized, but I don’t know where to start, even more because I’m on my own, just me. Any suggestions? One thing I tried is Ceroc dance but I’d like more suggestions. Question3: I plan to go to uni but only next year, I can’t wait for so long to socialize. Lol... Anyway, what do you suggest for my profile and for Business School, Massey or Victoria? Thanks and sorry for the big text Thanks for all the good answers :)

You say you live 100km from Wellington. Why was the question asked via the United States? 1/. Have you tried getting involved with community groups in your area. 2/. Try Courtney Place for a start. 3/. Go to Massey. Palmerston North is a great social town.

Bro if you're at least decent looking with the whole brazilian thing going on with the accent and all that you'll be able to bang so so many chicks lol. Courtenay Place is where the clubs are if you want to go do that. Check out a rugby game at the cake tin. Wellington is easy to walk around so you could just wonder around and see what you find. You play football? You could join a sports team. Make a facebook and join groups and find poeple on there. Study at Victoria.

Yeah Palmy might be a goer...but Wellington is a really exciting vibrant city...maybe hit up a cafe or bar and get chatting to the locals. Go watch a play or gig where there will be pletny of opportunities to socialize. If you need a tour guide then I have LOADS of mates down there who would be more than happy to show you around :)

Lots of questions. Lol. Uh perhaps go to downtown Welly. Yup. We welcome foreigners. I'm not sure about the dating part. Why don't you have friends? Are you here by yourself? Don't you know anybody at all? I would say.. Massey.

You sure will be limited to meeting people your age where you are as most young people have probably moved to wellington. Go to Victoria university your social life should be good in Wellington join a club like Badminton table tennis or a walking or atheltic group.

I don't know much about NZ but one thing I did when I was stuck in a small town was make friends online with people who lived in the city. You could go onto a site like http://www.6rounds.com and search for people in Wellington and then if you hit it off with someone, you'll have a starting point for socializing once you're in the city.

If you're 100km's from Wellington you'll struggle to socialise with the locals. You need to move to Wellington city or possibly Petone for a social life bud. And choose Victoria over Massey, it's simply a much better University.
