ben moulam replied to Greg Wesson's discussion Do You Join Groups of Other Expats from Your Home Country? in the group Expat Bloggers"Hi Greg,
We've recently moved to New Zealand from the UK. We've joined in with Expat groups but also made an effort to join local community groups - many of which coincidentally are full of expats too! It's pretty useful in a new…"
