New to Auckland
Hi everyone, I'm actually a kiwi but have been living abroad for 13 years and have dual NZ/UK nationality. I've been in London for the last 9 yrs and Japan and Germany for 4 years before that.
I've never lived in Auckland before so just finding my way around. I've returned to live with my partner who's in the Air Force and am in Hobsonville, Waitakere, at the end of the North Western motorway. I would be interested in hearing from anyone living around here.
I'm also looking for a sports team or some way to keep fit outdoors. Thinking about joining a tramping / mountaineering club if anyone has any recommendations.
Thanks!
Stefanie

We're not actually in NZ yet so can't help with suggestions......just wanted to say 'Hi & welcome!!' there are quite a few friendly BE members in your area tho so I'm sure you get some help.
Enjoy your return to NZ!!

Post back on here if you find any tramping / mountaineering clubs as I'd be interested in these too, and never though about it until now.
All the best!

Re: New to Auckland
Welcome! We have just arrived in Auckland too, but am in temp accommodation in the CBD at the mo with the hope to move to the North Shore once we find a job.

Re: New to Auckland
Not a nice experience but once you've gone past it, it does get easier so hang in there!
All the best.
