Re: How to make friends in Wellington

Making friends in NZ can be hard. The key ways that worked for me were participating in sports team and also through work. The hard part is not meeting people but actually forming a friendship. You have to be proactive and pick up the phone and make things happen. Be patient as it can take time.
