Hey everyone, I’m 26, self employed and it’s been getting really isolating recently. Would love to meet new people and hopefully make some friends along the way. My work is super flexible so with a bit of notice I can work around most people’s schedules.

I’d really like to get out more, try new things and meet new people instead of being living and working from home.😅

So a bit about me if any of the following catches your fancy…

- Recently got back into the gym so could do with some pointers

- Going on some more walks, maybe even getting into tramping… though let’s start with a day walk before I might actually die 🫨

- I’ve always wanted to try tennis or pickleball or pretty much any casual, non competitive sport. I’ve played tennis against the wall before, so I’m basically a pro 💪🏼

- Gaming, movies or hanging out… it would be nice not going to the movies alone for once.

- Trying new food spots or activities. I would also love to get a group of us together every couple of weeks or once a month to try something new, maybe use FirstTable and get 50% off for the lot us.

- I’m not much of a drinker, but don’t let that stop you, atleast you’ll have a dedicated sober driver! 🚗

I’d be keen on both one on one hangouts or group activities and pretty open minded to trying new things.

If any of it sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to leave a comment or send me DM, I don’t bite too hard🙂‍↕️

Heyy!
So, I’ve recently moved to this beautiful part of the world, and while I’m slowly figuring out my way around the city (and its coffee scene), I thought I’d try my luck finding some fellow creative minds here!

A little about me: I’m a photographer and filmmaker, and I’ve spent a good chunk of my life working in advertising, making films, shooting photographs, and occasionally wondering why I chose a profession where no two days are ever predictable. But hey, wouldn’t have it any other way!

I’m really curious to understand what the creative landscape looks like here in Christchurch and across NZ. Would love to connect with photographers, filmmakers, designers, art directors, producers, agency folks, or pretty much anyone who makes a living turning random ideas into something interesting.

Not here to pitch anything or sell my services. Just genuinely keen to meet people, hear their stories, exchange ideas, and hopefully make a few friends along the way.

Happy to catch up over coffee somewhere downtown or wherever there’s a good brew around Christchurch and an interesting conversation.

So, if you’re part of the creative community, or know someone I should meet, give me a shout!

Coffee’s on me. Creative gossip’s on you!

Hello,

Wanting to do more overnight hikes within a few hours drive from Christchurch. Be happy for some company to join, get some fresh air, eat plenty of snacks and make some new friends. I'm 29F. Have a dog whose always eager to join.

I work shifts so anyone that has days off in the week, or even Mon or Fri off so it's likely the huts/camp grounds will be quieter.

If anyone is keen send me a DM.

I'm thinking of doing one next weekend (23/24/25) as back to the grind on the Monday.

Thanks 😊

Has anyone here been to one? They sound interesting, but at nearly $50 a ticket I’m on the fence. I don’t want to spend that much to turn up to an event (gaming night) where the turnout is much less than described and everyone is sitting around awkwardly.

For reference I’m 31f, a little shy myself but that quickly wears off. Never really tried the apps, have always found meeting people through friends and hobbies naturally way less pressure.

Hi All,

Kia ora koutou! I have been living in Chch for 7 months and I'm very keen on tramping but I cannot drive. I would love to make some friends who can share tips of tramping or maybe do trips together. I'm also a Pickleball/ Tennis player. Cheers!

I go to uni here and finding it kinda hard to make friends lol.
I’m into sports, movies, going for drinks, getting food or just chilling. I’m a bit awkward at first but once I get comfortable I’m pretty chill.
Keen to meet some people who are in the same boat.

Third after-work drinks

What: Casual Friday after work drinks. Chat, sit in silence, complain about the traffic, weather -- whatever, do you

Where: Pegasus Arms, 14 Oxford Terrace (by the Avon). The old pub, one of the oldest buildings in ChCh, parts built in 1852. About 5:45pm, I will try to grab an outside table, out the front

No need for an RSVP, I will be there

Hi 💚 I am here for six months from Hawaii to visit and see if I want to move over permanently with my local boyfriend. I have a toddler and a couple of friends in my first week or so, always open to kid-friendly play dates. I love kung fu if anyone wants to try, it’s super fun and I need more training partners. The type I have studied for nine years was created by a woman for a woman to slay the patriarchy and teach the people to protect themselves from a cruel dynasty with far more training. It’s an art of supreme relaxation and it’s very approachable and helpful to smaller people who need the technical detail to defeat much larger, better trained, stronger, well fed forces.

I also am looking for a Pilates buddy, gym/home workout buddy, and Tahitian dance classes. I am a Cuban American (anti-magat) strategist working remotely on predictive forecasting and various human and environmental rights issues and I have lots of juicy stories from my work around the place.

I love beach days and spa days and nights at home doing beauty stuff and drinking champagne or wine, playing tarot, learning languages, and watching mysteries and badass women type shows or movies. I’m a total foodie who loves to cook and I make amazing charcuterie boards and sandwiches 😂 I have a lovely little fairy garden for sunning, too!

I speak Spanish and a little Hawaiian as well, and if anyone speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian, or Portuguese, I am very interested to learn more of those! Please feel welcome to message me for platonic friendships!

Hey team, 31M here, looking to branch out and do different shit with my life. Sick of smoking weed all day and doing nothing and need some good people to spend time with. Feel free to message or whatever, cheers

I'm interested in getting out and meeting new friends, just to chat to someone would be awesome. I like random drives and walks. Feel free to message. Male and female. Oh and I'm single, I was married for 20 years.

I never thought I had a "type" of partner I like, but after my last breakup, I think I see it.

I want to spend the rest of my life with an affectionate nerdy partner. I want to enjoy nerdy stuff, and snuggles. I want to geek out, and be super into each other. I can't think of a better way to spend the rest of my life.

Sound good to you? Drop me a message.

Hey guys, just thought I'd put myself out there and post a wee friend call! My name is Florian and I just recently moved to Christchurch from Ashburton. I live with my husband who just immigrated here from the US and I'm looking for some like-minded folks to hang out with. I'm a huge nerd and kind of shy (autistic, really), but I'm super chill and have a lot of interests. I enjoy birdwatching, going to the movies and trips to the beach (whether that be to swim or just look for cool shells) and I'm into all things dinosaurs, geology, video games and baking. I'm slowly starting to get into Pokèmon card collecting too. Anyway, if you think I sound cool, just shoot me a message on here or on Discord (@cervicide) and I'll reply ASAP!

Thanks!

I arrived in Christchurch last week. I've done most of the tourist stuff and now I'm looking for some people to hang out with.

A bit about me: I'm 27, from Scotland, and will be staying in Christchurch on a Working Holiday Visa. I'll be here for at least 4–5 months, and possibly longer if I find work.

I enjoy walking/hiking, playing sports and generally doing active things. I'm not really a "go for coffee or dinner" kind of person — I much prefer actually doing something while socialising. I don't drink or smoke.

I'm quite reserved at first, but I open up a lot once I get to know people.

I'd really enjoy going on hiking/day trips with friends when possible. Unfortunately I can't drive, but if you're driving I'd be more than happy to contribute towards fuel costs.

Feel free to reply to this post or message me if you're interested!
