A few more questions on the next step so we can seat you well.

Quick context before you finish

$29/month. First month free.

Franzus Social is a monthly dinner club for Kiwi and Aussie expats. Second Wednesdays, tables of 5–8. Membership is $29 a month — roughly two flat whites and a regrettable muffin, with people who get the reference.

Your first month is on us. Card on file, $29/month after — cancel anytime before your trial ends.

It's always a relief to just be able to speak freely with a bunch of expats who've travelled the same path.

About the dinner

At a dinner with people you've just met, you're most likely to… *

Warm up gradually — I'm good once I get going

Listen more than I talk, but I'm engaged

Depends entirely on who's there and the vibe

Please select one.

What kind of conversation do you actually enjoy over dinner? * Pick all that apply.

Taking the piss / banter

Life back home — nostalgia, shared references

What people are working on / building

Big ideas — politics, culture, the state of the world

Personal stuff — relationships, family, what matters

Whatever — I just like good chat

Please select at least one.

What's your idea of a good dinner out? *

Lively and loud — good energy in the room

Intimate — small group, deep conversations

Somewhere in between

Honestly just glad to be out of the house

Please select one.

Your community

What do you miss most about home? *

The people — friends, family, that ease of connection

The food and coffee (obviously)

The culture — sport, humour, the way people are

The landscape / outdoors

Honestly not that much — I've built a good life here

Please select one.

How connected do you feel to the Kiwi/Aussie expat community near you right now? *

Very connected — I've got my people

Somewhat — a few mates but it's patchy

Not much — I know a few people but nothing solid

Pretty isolated to be honest

Please select one.

What are you hoping to get out of Franzus Social? * Multi-select — pick up to 2.

Regular social plans — something in the diary

Meeting people I'd actually stay in touch with

That feeling of being around your own for a bit

Getting out of my routine

A good meal and a laugh, honestly that's enough

Please select at least one.
