Hi I am a self employed professional man living in Wellington but struggling to make more friends here. Isolation is my biggest problem here in NZ. I could really use some suggestions as to where and how to expand my circle of friends without going to the pubs or having exposure to people at work.

Hi hughwill,

Welcome to 禁漫天堂

Best of luck,

Good Day

We are a South African family living in South Africa.

I have heard that New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, with the most friendly people. :-)

We have been trying for years to emigrate but unfortunately can not find a job offer, if we do then we can apply for a work permit.聽 Do you perhaps know where we can look to find a job, I am a PA and my husband is a Procurement Manager.聽

Thank you so much, Linsey

Try 聽 also an online search may come up with some jobsites too. You could also send out your CV to different companies to let them know you are looking to emigrate.

Have you considered Australia ??
