lauralp517 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hi! My name is Laura! I moved to brisbane last year with my boyfriend, and we're working on a 457 visa. We're gonna be here for at least another 1-2 years then carry on travelling the world! :-) I'm 23, and i'm a nurse, working in the community and my boyfriend is also 23 and works in a printing factory. Its quite frustrating that we haven't made as many friends as we thought we would. I work solo, so i don't really meet anyone. And in my boyfriends job, everyone is really old apparently, lol. It can be a little lonely as i'm used to having girly get-togethers, and i know that my fella wants some guys to hang out with and do 'guy things'. - plus he's not the best shopping companion! ;-) I just wondered if there is anyone in brisbane who could do with a new friend? Any girls who might like to go shopping, or for dinner or after work drinks, or even just hang out at the beach sometime, or any guys who like surfing/golf/fishing, or even if you're a couple in the same boat as us, we'd love to meet you! I'd also love to meet any other nurses out there to compare experiences as i have many questions! :-) Thanks!!! Happy easter everyone!! xxx.

Guest katiered Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hi Laura I'm 25 and I am from England. I have moved over here for good.

lauralp517 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hey, its so great to hear from you!! Do you work as an RN here too?? in hospital or community? You're finding it hard to make good friends too? I think the main problem is that most people i meet already have their friends because they grew up here so they're not looking to meet other people! I'm renting a house in Sherwood, that's like erm, south west brisbane? Whereabouts in north brisbane are you? xx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey guys, My wife and I just moved to North Lakes (north of Brisbane, about 35 min) last week and are looking forward to meeting new friends. We would love to go out for a drink or two sometime. We are also on a 457 visa and currently working in marketing and training. Cheers Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LadySizzla Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hi girls. I'm in North Brisbane too (very near Chermside!) and friendless lol. My bf has loads of friends through work but I dont work so never get the chance to meet anyone. I'll be both of your friends lol. I hate shopping though, but always up for drinks. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aleg Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi Guys, checked with my wife and apparently we're going with the facebook brisbane group (Brisbannittes) to a meeting on the 28th. Don't know what time it finishes so any chance we can change the date or can meet you there? If you;re on facebook just go to the brisbannittes and send a friend request as it is a closed group. Then they accept and you get to see all the events coming up etc. Hope to see you there or we can make other arrangements. Sorry to change on you but got confused with my dates! See ya, Alex (&Adele) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See ya, Alex (&Adele) Thats ok Alex. I'm unsure of that night myself now. Best for me in the coming weeks would be weekdays - next week ideally (week beginning monday 23rd). I'll add the facebook group though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MandM29 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hi Laura, Me and my boyfriend arrived in April after travelling for 6 months and are here on working holiday visas. Would be great to meet up with some friendly faces as we don't know anyone. Is there a planned date for when people are meeting up? We live in Kangaroo Point which is south Brisbane. Let us know your facebook and I can message you if its easier. Would suggest shopping but as I haven't found a job yet need to keep the spending to a minimum Cheers Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
