Reasons To Travel New Zealand

By David Francis


The local people, New Zealanders or Kiwis as they like to be called, are a very welcoming bunch of people and known for their hospitality. New Zealand ranks high in the 'Worlds friendliest places to visit' roundup every year and for good reason. New Zealanders love their country and are always excited to show it off to new arrivals. The hospitality is world renowned and comprises of good food, a few laughs and an adventurous life.

Kiwis have been some of the best hosts I have ever met and enjoy hearing the tales about this country from them while traveling. People of New Zealand tend to live an outdoors life and enjoy water-sports, rugby, fishing, kayaking, tramping (hiking), and all sorts if adrenaline pumping action on the south island.

Maori culture shines through in New Zealands history. The Maori people who came across from the Polynesian islands in giant canoes have a rich and steep culture in New Zealand. They have many sacred sights throughout the country, none more so than Cape Renga in the north island where traditional beliefs say that that is where the souls of fallen warriors go back into the ocean to the islands where they came from.

The food in New Zealand is spectacular with specialities such as lamb, venison, pork, pies, seafood and honey being favourites with tourists. The kiwi cuisine is proudly showcased through the two islands with local restaurants competing for business by coming up with creative and delicious dishes to wet the tourists appetites.

Traveling around New Zealand is very easy. The roads are great and well maintained, the busses are of the highest quality and catching a short flight from one city to the next is only one or two hours journey time. It is really fun to drive around New Zealand yourself with spectacular mountain passes for you to thunder through in your rental. It is true that exploring New Zealand is one of the best travel experiences you can ever have.

There are other options for traveling around like hitchhiking, which is very safe in New Zealand and a common practice amongst backpackers and tourists alike. It is a great way to meet other backpackers and locals and have a nice chat (and a free ride!).
