This group was originally started by Yvonne.  It was primarily a hiking group for New Zealand expats. Now that I'm organizer, we will still do some hikes which I love too and we will also mix it up with some regular meetings for conversation and camraderie, maybe a potluck or two. You'll also hear of other events that are on in the LA area. We welcome Australian expats and other friends of NZ!
