We are a married couple in our early 40s and moved here from Auckland in April. We enjoy catching up for coffee, a drink and meals out. We are both movie buffs as well. Here for a new start and as such most of our friends and family are not close by, so we are pretty much starting from scratch socially. We are looking forward to meeting new friends here.

I'm your new Rotorua Review editor, and I can't wait to start engaging with the communities that make up this wonderful part of the North Island.

This week, I take over the reins from my Waikato communities colleague Nicola Brennan-Tupara, and I'm delighted to be working alongside senior reporter Benn Bathgate.

Together, we aim to bring you a great community read every week, keeping our communities up to date with events, local faces and people stories and everything you've come to expect from the fabulous Rotorua Review - in print and online.

I'd love to hear from readers on what they'd like to see more of, and less of, in their weekly paper.

Please drop me a line at julie.kaio@fairfaxmedia.co.nz or give me a call on 027 204 2958.

Have a great rest-of-the week;
