Connecting in Our Community

Centered in the heart of New Zealand, the Friendship Force Of Taupo proudly serves as a hub for cultural exchange in our local area. While our specific location details are kept general, our club embodies the warm, welcoming spirit of the Taupo community. Over the past 15 years, we’ve embarked on unforgettable outbound journeys to destinations like the USA, Japan, Indonesia, and Sweden, while also hosting inbound visitors from countries such as Brazil, Canada, and the UK. These exchanges allow members to immerse themselves in diverse cultures, either by travelling abroad with friends or opening their homes to international guests. Our regular social events and coffee meetups, held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at 10:00 am at varying venues, provide fantastic opportunities for members and visitors alike to connect locally.
