Hi Lauren,

Great to hear from someone in the same situation as myself. This is my second attempt at doing it, so Im trying my hardest to do it differently this time round and to put myself out there to make new friendships, as I feel this is the most important to make the transition a success so to speak. So where abouts are you in NZ? I was born and brought up in Berkshire and then moved for the later half of my life to near the Lake District.

If you want, I can private message you with my number or you can add me on facebook.

Hi Kelly, I've been up here a couple of months after spending a year in Rotorua. I work full time but I'm off 3 or 4 days a week so I'd be happy to meet up for coffee etc if you fancy it.

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi ya, Im working full time but am free evenings and weekends, where abouts in Auckland are you?

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

I'm in Mt Eden, I work random days during the week but other than this weekend I do seem to be off most Sat/Sun (my new boss seems to think I have a social life!)
Saying that there's a few things on next weekend, I'll send you a PM with info and see if you fancy coming along.

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

As you're all trying to get together, I'll move this to meet-ups. Intros tend to be shut after a week or so coz their usually just.....intros. :p

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi - have just signed up to expats site as I've been in NZ a year now and feeling I need to make more effort to meet new people! Would be great to meet up with some others in the same boat :) I'm 34, living and working in Parnell but happy to meet up anywhere if anyone fancies getting together! Helen

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area

Hey Kelly,
I'm in the same situation, been in auckland around a month and looking to meet some new people. If anybody fancies meeting up just give me a shout :)

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi there. I'd be interested if anything is happening too. I'm based in Auckland City Centre and I'm from England. Looking to make friends over here.

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area

Hi myself samantha and JJ are new ish to new zealand and would love to meet up for drinks with new people if anyone is interested

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi everyone!

My partner, Steve, and I moved to NZ 5 months ago from Manchester UK. We are settling into our jobs etc, but with a recent visit from the in-laws we are feeling a little out of sorts - a night out or a meet up would be great and a good chance to meet new people is just what we need.

We are free this Friday or Sat (2nd/3rd March) evening if anyone fancies it? We are in St Heliers so here, Mission Bay or CBD would be great!

Hope you are all doing well and enjoying NZ ;)
Laura

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi all,

I'm also keen to meet up - been here a year now and looking to make more friends.

I'm live in Mission Bay so any meets up around here or in the CBD would be good.

Hi,

If any of you are free tonight (Friday 9th) a few of us are meeting for drinks at Tyler Street Garage in Britomart from 6.30. The more the merrier so come along if you are free.

Ellie

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

I'm definitely interested in Tyler St. I live and work near by. However work is crazy so Im not sure yet if I can make it. Would you be able to PM me / email me / text me? I will try and send a PM but Im also having internet problems on this site.

Hope you are ensjoying New Zealand!! Chris :)

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi there,

I hope some of you guys got the chance to meet up, let me know the next meet up please, been here since Jan and it's definately time to meet new people :) Thanks, Lynne

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi

Have been in Auckland for 2 weeks, living on edge of CBD, and looking work. Husbands work brought us out here, so its my job at the mo to be in charge of social life, house hunting etc. Love to meet up with other expats who've been there and done that, or those currently doing the same thing.

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi all,

A few of us did meet up last Friday, it was a really good night so keen to organise another. Are there any dates in particular that might work for everyone? Let me know.

Ellie

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Am free most evenings at the mo, so can fit in with others

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi we are free most evenings so we are happy to meet up whenever suits

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi guys. I'd also be keen to meet up. Been here for 5 months and have met some nice people through this site, am here with hubbie, am working, currently living in Parnell. Happy to meet up with or without partners. Rona

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi all, we've been in Auckland 6 weeks now, hubby is working and we're currently living in CBD. Would also be keen to meet up, it would be good to meet some new people! Angela

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi all

How about arranging something? Not keen on the busy pub meet, as you find yourself shouting, and not really having a conversation. Any ideas welcome- bowling, BBQ in a park and everyone bring something, a wine tasting evening, etc?

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi yes we would be keen to do a meet up sometime also yay :-)

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

:thumbsup:So guys, any suggestions on location etc?

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

I would love to meet some new faces! I am currently in Mt. Eden with my girlfriend but hope to find somewhere new

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hello folks, how about arranging a drink somewhere central this weekend? We've been here 7 weeks now, and it would certainly be nice to meet some new people. Failing that, I'm not working yet, so would be up for a coffee/cup of tea during the week if anyone fancied it!

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Would anyone be up for a drink in town after work tomorrow night?

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Let us know where you are going, not certain to attend at the mo, husband threatening man flu or similar deathly illness!

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

I'm dropping my sister off at the airport and was going to go to the marina for drinks but could be in the city around that time.

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Anyone free for drinks tomorrow night?

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hey Juliet. I'm free for drinks tomorrow night if you're keen. I just sent you a PM, haven't been on this site for ages and just noticed your message today. Gives a call or text if you're keen. Rona

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi there

My kiwi hubby and I moved from London to Auckland late last year (via 2 years in Sydney!). We've been socialising with his old friends but I'd be keen to meet up with some other Brits too.

Would love to know if there are any other meet ups planned (looks like I just missed yesterdays!) or girls nights out. I've been feeling a bit out of sorts after a few visits from UK friends, but think some wine and a good natter would sort that out :)

Hi,

A few of us will be meeting up on Thursday night in Parnell. The plan at the moment is drink / something eat then pudding at the Chocolate boutique! I am still getting to know the area. Meeting around 7.30. Let me know if anyone wants to join us :-)

Re: 33 year old female looking for fellow brit friends in the Auckland area
 

Hi Juliet

I'll try to make it on Thursday if I can. Will depend on working out how to get back to the shore afterwards on public transport! Becomes a bit of a pain after rush hour :thumbdown:
