Tips and Advice on the USA from Your Fellow New Zealand Expats

Obviously, expat life in the USA goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow New Zealanders is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the American mentality and way of life. New Zealanders in the USA are a part of our community, calling cities such as New York City, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow New Zealanders in Washington D.C., for example.
