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.

For both, children and parents, it can feel isolating when they are the only ones speaking the language, and moreover, kids want to   speak what is easier for them, which tends to be English. We are here to support each other in our efforts and to create no-cost or low-cost events where we can get …

I recall one my dearest friends a kinky haired Italian bombshell lamenting the decade of strait is beautiful, we were so riddled with jealousy it has fueled a lifelong bond of friendship and hair understanding. My tresses are shoulder length while hers were at her waist. Each of us has enough kinks to strike fear into the hearts of hairdressers. Those shows where they depict me or my Curly/Kinky sisters as the ugly duckli …

Ik ben Nederlands, mijn man is Amerikaan en we zijn eind 2010 verhuist naar LA. Prima vertoeven hier, maar af en toe mis ik wel het Nederlandse contact. Vooral tussen vriendinnen. Wie heeft er zin in af en toe een avondje uit, hapje eten, lekker kletsen met wat wijn, of wellicht een bbq met het hele gezin... Wij hebben 2 kleine kinderen en zouden het ook heel leuk vinden om hen bij elkaar te zetten. Goed voor het Nederlands gebabbel!

Sin embargo, debido a limitaciones de espacio y ocupaciones de los miembros, procuraremos que los textos sugeridos de lectura entre sesiones no rebasen las 5 cuartillas.    Este grupo es una …

What do star people, wanderers, freethinkers, and free range people have in common? To some degree, they may be people who find themselves outside the mainstream traditions and trends, not from an impulse to reject society or rebel, but due to a recognition of being different, and making conscious choices whether and when to conform. The idea of this group is to bring together people who "go their own way" rather than follow the established traditions or popular authors and speakers in the areas …
