New Zealand, or Aotearoa as the locals refer to it, is a truly remarkable country. Its landscapes range from breathtakingly beautiful, verdant vistas to areas covered in volcanic lava, as much of the country was shaped by volcanic eruptions.
Exploring New Zealand is a delight, as it offers an array of short and long hikes and opportunities to venture around on a bike, motorbike, or car. The country has a well-organized public transport system that allows you to effortlessly travel from one end to another using buses, trains, or planes.
One of New Zealand's renowned highlights is the rich traditions of its indigenous Maori people. They take immense pride in sharing their customs through delightful cuisine, captivating dances, and the temples where they honour their ancestors. The country is also famous for its fascinating geothermal phenomena, where bubbling geysers, boiling basins, hot lakes, and warm rivers add intrigue to its already stunning landscapes.
What makes New Zealand even more special is its inhabitants' genuine friendliness and helpfulness, both Maori and non-Maori (referred to as Kiwis). You'll always feel welcome as the locals go out of their way to assist and make you feel at ease. This warm hospitality is evident in various aspects, including traffic, where pedestrians always have the right of way, and dining establishments, where you'll always be greeted with a friendly smile and top-notch service.
