<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Hey! I posted a similar question a week ago or so but I didn't get much of a response and I am stressing out/crazy excited! 

I'm go_ducks_2013 and I am graduating from college March of 2013. I have a one year Working Holiday Visa and I will be staying with a couple of friends who live in and around Auckland when I arrive. I met some guys who were from NZ traveling up the west coast at a party and we became really great friends so they will be helping me out, as well as some of my sisters' friends (she has lived in Auckland twice to do some field studies because she is an anthropologist). My sister will be in Auckland in March for a wedding and is going to buy a Toyota that I can use when I get there (stoked!) and will sell for her when I leave. Other than that, I am looking for any possible jobs, friends, places to go, eateries, etc! I'd love absolutely any advice about where to shop, eat, hang out or whatever. Even better would be some advice about how to get set up in a foreign country or the best ways to save money. I have never traveled outside of the states so this is a huge step for me. Thanks!
<bot>: I am moving to NZ and need advice/help on how to survive in a foreign country for a year post-college!
