From an auzzie girl

Hi I am an Australian girl who is about to travel abroad and so stumbled onto this site. I understand that it can be very scary and intimidating trying to meet new friends, and i really think this applies in many places. But most auzzies that i know really enjoy meeting people under most circumstances. within the crowd that i hang out with i have friends from new zealand, england, india, brazil, hungry, canada and asia. we all get on great and to be honest even though we often have bbq's in summer, we have tried to do activities that include their cultures as well. for example we had a hungi (a new zealand tradition) and we had a brazillian party to celebrate one of their holidays with brazillian music (admittily some of my australian friends weren't as good as dancers as the brazillians).
I'm not trying to say all australians will welcome you with open arms i just wouldn't want anyone to think that all australian's are cruel and have no intesert in others. It can't be too hard to make auzzie friends if i have so many foreign friends
