Social Connection

Moving to a new place can be exciting, but it also comes with challenges—especially when it comes to meeting people and feeling at home.


If you’re feeling a little out of place, don’t worry—it’s all part of the settlement curve, where things get easier as you find your community and settle in.


Whether you’re keen to join a club, connect with others from your culture, or give back through volunteering, there are plenty of ways to meet people in Central Otago.
