Hello. I was wondering how Kiwis get along with foreigners and making friends. I heard you guys are pretty chill, but how chill? What do you guys like doing for fun? How are friendships viewed in New Zealand? I'm so curious!

Let's say you get a job overseas, am in Africa by the way, how can you verify that its not human trafficking or a scam.

Hi Pammy! I found the same feeling although my boyfriend is kiwi! He is the only one I could be open to! I have been here almost two years in both islands and I found that they are pretty much reserved some friend said its cause they come from the British culture. If it wasn't for him I will live somewhere friendlier for sure!!!!! Can't wait to be back home!
