Hello there! Im Isah, me and my colleagues will be coming to New Zealand this 1st week of September, we just got approved on our Visa application and so happy about it! This will be our first time to visit the country and so excited to explore and learn new things, tour fascinating places and looking forward to have friends here in NZ.

We would also love to meet a lot of our fellow kababayans there and would love to join the small groups like gatherings in the churches and the like and hang-out. We will maximize our stay for 30 days to visit Auckland and also Wellington.

I do hope for a warm welcome for all the Filipinos living and working there and also to other nationalities.
Looking forward to have friends here!

Thanks,

Isah

I am Filipina but I am not living in Wellington. I knew a lot of them living there. One of them name Wenda Balmadrid , she owns an Asian store and also her mother owns one as well, her name is Toneth Dawson.聽 They have many friends and it will be great if you will all meet them. I hope this info. will help you.

Good luck,
Lani from Napier
