What we’re about
This group is for those of us who want to shake things up, not take things for granted, savour the little joys of the day, live new experiences, learn, and finally: change.
We are a community of open-minded people who like to listen, learn, and seek to create meaningful change (in our lives and/or around us). Whether it's trying a new hobby, delving into a new topic of discussion, or attending thoughtful events and workshops, our group is dedicated to fostering curiosity, growth, and personal development.
Join us to make meaningful connections, learn new stuff, and embrace the joy of constant discovery (no pressure 😃)
Hi I'm Pierre, I created this Meetup because I want to see more human connection happen in the real world. I feel many of us want this, but don't exactly know how to go about it. I hope this helps.
I also work as a transformational coach: I help people who feel stuck in their life to reconnect with themselves, create real change and ultimately live more fulfilling lives.

Coaching (1 on 1): clarify your goals for 2026
What is it?
I offer a 1 hour coaching session, 1 on 1, for free, in video call.
Whether you have already tried coaching before and want more, or are simply curious to try, this is for you.
What is coaching for?
Coaching is about creating positive change in your life.
Coaching is not about fixing a problem, although many problems are likely to be solved. Coaching is about creating a space where you can finally see yourself and your truth. Coaching can be useful if you:
- Seek clarity about your goals (big and small)
- Want more without knowing what (nor why)
- Wish to make changes in your life (but not sure where to start)
Think of: career setbacks, big decisions, preparing life transitions (big and small), relationships, self doubts, lack of direction, feeling stuck, clarifying goals, reassess priorities, and more.
How does it work?
You control the content of the session, and I control the process of the session. You decide what topics you wish to discuss, I won't pry anything from you. I will hold the space for you, support you, challenge you at times, and just ask you simple questions to help you realise how you can move forward.
Coaching is a collaborative process where a coach helps you identify and achieve your personal and professional goals. It's about empowering you to overcome challenges, build long-lasting change, and live a more fulfilling life.
Who am I?
My name is Pierre, I am a professional coach, with prior 10+ years working in tech. Here you can read all about me, my background, and testimonials from past clients:

I look forward to seeing you there :)
Note: if the spot is already taken by someone else, I'd still be happy to meet you another time for a 30min free call. You select a time that works for you here in my calendar here:

Solo travellers: casual hangout in Wellington (Sundays 4pm)
The Albatross Fountain, Wellington, NZNo pressure, no plan—just new friends ✨
Whether you’re visiting Wellington for the first time, recently relocated, or simply love connecting with curious people, this weekly meetup is the perfect way to share stories, make friends, and go explore, as a group, the magic that Wellington has to offer 🇳🇿
What to expect?
• Casual & hostless: no formal host, no schedule: just show up, be yourself, meet fellow solo travellers & expats and decide as a group where you feel like going
• Central meeting point: it is surrounded by cultural landmarks, cafes, and restaurants, making it a convenient and safe starting point.
• Open to everyone: whether you are a local, an expat or just passing through for a few days, you are welcome to join. (English is the primary language, but feel free to switch of course)
How to talk with strangers?
(and create meaningful connections)
To help you get started, I curated a little game of ridiculously good questions you can ask to break the ice, shift the conversation from dull to intriguing and fun, and eventually create meaningful connection quickly. I hope this helps!
The only things you need to do are…
• Leave a message in the comment section to let the others know that you will actually be there (I don’t want you to end up alone there :)
• If you can’t make it anymore, no problem! But please update your RSVP to let the others know
• Please be gentle and patient with each other. We all want to make good friends here.
Why join?
• Meet open-minded travellers and locals who are keen to connect, learn and have fun together.
• Experience Wellington... as a group.
• Be part of a global community that celebrates solo travelling and meaningful connections between foreign and locals.
How does it works?
1. Arrive at the meeting spot at the scheduled time.
2. Look for other joiners—friendly faces and curious explorers.
3. Introduce yourself, connect with others, and decide as a group where to go.
When & where?
• Day: every Sunday
• Time: 4:00 PM (meetup sometimes displays a different time zone: but it’s always 4pm local time)
• Location: in front of the Albatross Fountain
Hostless: I am setting up the event for you all to meet, but I won't be there myself this time :)
