Anybody out there in Kapiti coast or welly region?
Hi there, haven't posted for ages but I suppose this is a plee to meet up with anyone in my area. Here's a little bit about myself.
I'm 38, single and moved out to Wellington area in late March of this year just to give it a go and experience a new lifestyle. I had a job in Paraparaumu and was travelling up and down daily from Tawa. I've moved up here to the Kapiti coast but have yet to meet up with anyone really. The friend I was originally stopping with has returned to the UK. Without sounding too much of a sad, billy no mates, was just wondering if there's anyone in the local area who just fancies meeting up for a natter over a brew. Am finding it very difficult being here not really knowing anyone and missing my friends and family back in the UK. I want to give it a good go out here but each day makes it more and more tempting to go home due to lonliness. Hope there's peeps out there who fancy meeting up.

My OH and I are coming over for a recce in Feb and will be staying with friends in Waikanae. They have been there 2 years and have settled well even tho they have had a few probs. It must be harder for a single person tho. Do you work in a sociable environment?
Hang onto that dream that you had back in the UK and don't give up on it just yet.Just to make you feel a bit better, the weather here since May has been absolutely soul destroying - worse than I can ever remember.
Take care.

Sorry that you are feeling a bit low - I guess thats to be expected so dont beat yourself up. Cant help you re meeting up etc cos I am still in the UK but there sem to be a few people from your area on here and I just know one of them will be in touch.

I recall you seemed really keen before you arrived and then posted a few weeks ago that your friend had moved on. Really sorry it isn't working out the way you expected. There is a large BE contingency around there/Wellington: may well be worth PM'ing some of them to see if they are up for a meet-up. Hope things pick up for you soon, karma for your predicament.
