Hi everyone!

I’m a 23-year-old moving over from Canada soon for a 6-month internship, and I’m stoked to swap the snow for some New Zealand sun. I’m a pretty active person and I'm looking to get plugged into the local scene while I’m there.

A few things about me/what I’m looking for:

• Tennis: I’m a competitive player and a coach back home, so I’d love to find some good clubs or high-level hitting partners in Auckland. If anyone can recommend clubs with a solid competitive ladder or a great social atmosphere, I’m all ears.
• Surfing: I’ve heard NZ surfing is world-class. I’m definitely a beginner but I'm keen to get some lessons where’s the best spot for a newbie to start out?
• Nightlife: I definitely like to go out and grab drinks or find a good party every now and then. Which areas are the go-to for a 20-something crowd?
• Travel: Since I’m coming from so far away, I want to make the most of it. What are the "must-visit" spots or hidden gems around the country that I shouldn't miss?

Looking forward to any advice you’ve got. Cheers!
