Climb Mountains and Dive With Whales

Hi everybody. My name is Flo. I'm in NZ to learn English. And to climb mountains and go diving with whales I hope! My parents are going to come in NZ. It will be great.

Trains Are The Same

My grandpa drove trains in Wellington and lived with his wife and family in Taikaka St. When I came to Wellington, I swear the trains on the Johnsonville line were the same ones! :)

Time For Me

I'm Jenny and I'm from Germany. My best friend passed away last year so I need time for me. New Zealand is a good place for this! Found myself again and I'm happy! Jenny

Wellington 7s

The Wellington 7's has been the meeting point of so many friends traveling from all over the world. We have traveled from Scotland, Australia and South Island, NZ. Who wouldn't travel this far to spend 3 nights in a campervan after a wet and windy but spectacular Wellington 7's! The memories have been made!
This is story refers to the 'Wellington 7s', a rugby tournament that is hosted by Wellington at the Westpac Stadium in February every year.

Police Boat

My mum went on a police boat.

Hamburger Without The Meat

My family and I arrived here; we were all starving so we went to McDonalds and got burgers. I asked for mine without mayonnaise, and the cashier thought I said no meat so I got a hamburger without the hamburger!

Windy, Smelly and Yummy

Wellington is windy!
It's yummy!
It's smells like the sea! That's if you are near the sea. I like the shops!

Not Just Cold and Windy

As a visitor to Wellington I've always thought of the city as cold, grey and windy. This weekend was the first time I've ever seen the sun here & it was beautiful.

Time to Join My Son

My family emigrated from UK in 2003. My son now lives in Wellington. I live in Chch. I think I would like to come and live in Wellington. I'm very taken with it. I love the houses in the hills. Maybe one day. x =)

Charming City

I am a Spanish girl living in Chch. This is my first time in Wellington and I love it!! Thank you for all the cultural variety and for the lovely interactive free museums. Definitely, I'll come back to this charming city. Laura

A Quake In Common

I'm from Christchurch visiting friends with my family. Its so lovely to have a city that is functioning. It was like being at home on Friday when Wellington experienced an aftershock but hey! Nothing compared to what Chch lived through. You are a lucky city. Love Wellington great cafés

My Second Home

I met a Wellington man in a nightclub in London. 14 years later, I'm here with him and our two daughters. We married 11 years ago. Wellington is now my second home and the birthplace of my children. We love Wellington (apart from the wind). Long live the Kiwi OE!!

My Mum Used To Work Here

My name is Maz my mum used to work here

Life Is Good

My name is Peter and I am from Western Australia. I'm here with my parents (My mum's an NZer) and my sister + her husband. We came to visit relatives + unveil a plaque for the graves of my grandparents in Thames. I am also here to visit/stay with my daughter Simone + her husband Ben who have recently relocated here from Melbourne. I am excited because she is about to have her 1st child (a girl) and my 7th grandchild. They are very happy here and I am happy for them. I am pleased to be able to return here to revisit my own family heritage, and my own direct family. Life is good! Such a special place to visit for so many important reasons.

Don't Get Complacent

I moved here from Canada 6 years ago for an adventure. "It will be fun" we thought," if we don't do it now, we never will." So, we did. Every day I remind myself not to get complacent about the beauty of this country - the views of Pauatahanui inlet, the pohutakawa trees, the changing face of the sea.
