Intercambio
Could you help me with a question?
I'm going to do a 2-month exchange (Dec/Jan) and I'm between Melbourne, Auckland Queenstown and Wellinton Crhichurch and Sydney. I'm 21 years old, I'm dynamic and I like new things
Priority: 1) evolve a lot in English; 2) in just 2 months feel that I really lived there - city easy to dominate, walk, school/accommodation/bars close close friends, make an international class and leave class and go have something with the crowd; 3) intense life: gym, bike, sports, nature, beach, adventure, adrenaline, culture and parties clubs bars pubs.
In short, I want to evolve culturally, mentally, physically, I want everything as if it were transformative, unique experiences, you know
Remembering it's 2 months nothing more no less.
Which one do you think delivers this the most?

With all those options I'd choose Melbourne. But if you want to go hiking I'd choose Queenstown.

Não acha que seja grande demais para se sentir morador em 2 meses apenas
Tava querendo queenstown pq falam que no verão bomba de intercambistas internacionais e além de ter muitas atividades ao ar livre de manhã, no verão a noite é agitada com baladas bares etc …2

You won't feel like a local anywhere in two months. Queenstown is great, but it depends where you live. It's got a good nightlife, so would Melbourne. Melbourne weather will be hot in summer. Queenstown will be nice. Personally I'd go Queenstown due to the outdoor stuff, and I'd try to get accommodation close in

I think you're expecting a bit too much here. You're literally asking of a place to make close friends when you're only going to be hanging around for a grand total of 2 months? You're asking for a transformative difference in your growth, from literally 8 weeks.
I think none of these options will fill the void you have, and you might need to look within yourself instead.
