i really want to meet new people in christchurch before i turn into a hermit
is there any one out there in a similar position? im in my late 20's and im up for anything, espically if it involves drinking wine and having a laugh

i like art, sports, most music and 'window' shopping. Please get in contact if you feel the same, and im not a weirdo, i have never done anything like this in my life lol-i just have got to the point where i have thought-to hell with it-


HELLO! I'm in the same boat as you it seems. I moved to Merivale two weeks ago with my partner, still trying to find my way around. He starts work/school next Monday, and I'll soon be bored to tears and without human companionship. I'm 30, from the US, love doing a variety of things as well. It would be nice to make a new friend.

Hey cool, I know what you mean, I felt like that when my partner went back to work, I'm still a few steps away though, from climbing the walls lol- my email is jomc27 @ gmail. com (no spaces)

[B]HI! I just moved to Christchurch two weeks ago, and I, too, live in Merivale! My partner begins work on Monday, and so I'll be a bit bored and lonely, as well. Just got a bike, love movies, wine, beer, coffee, music, good food, etc. Would be wonderful to make some friends here. (I thought I posted a response last night, but it seems it didn't post after all. Hopefully it will work this time.)

Hi, I just moved to Christchurch (Merivale) almost three weeks ago now, would love to meet some people, as well. Have you arrived yet? I'm also in my early 30s, (30 to be exact) and have a British partner/NZ resident who will soon be starting work/school, thus leaving lots of time to myself.

Unhappy friendless in Christchurch

Hi!! I feel the same as you jojo28.... I am from South Africa and my husband has just started work and gotten his work permit. I have yet to go for my medicals and apply for my work visa too. Havent been able to meet anyone here and most people do keep to themselves here.... Its nothing like the UK where i lived and worked for 2years and people are so friendly and open and willing to make new friends...
Here things are very different and i feel like im on a boat alone here..
Im 28 years old and would love to meet up with any other gals who would be interested in making a new friend....let me know here..thanks!! )

Hi Ashtims! I'm from Greenville. Where in Alabama are you from? I LOVE Christchurch! It's a completely different world from anything I've ever seen. I taught ESL in South Korea for the past five years, so I am a bit taken aback by everything, but in the best way possible.
