Replying to NEW ZEALAND FOOLZ- best place to ski/live/be a bum/find housing/find roomies

HEY YALL!

Got any good info for a noob that’s never lived in another country before?

What’s the best place to ski?(not so much the park scene but steep and cliffy)

Best place to find housing/roommates?

Cheapest way to travel around?

Easy one liners to make new friends??(kinda suck at making connections!)

If you have any insider deets on NZ and or good ole Chile that’d be snazzy fellas!
