There are many reasons to consider traveling around New Zealand and apart from the great scenery, food, wine, lakes, forests, you will also have the local people of New Zealand or 'Kiwis' as they like to be called. They are very friendly people and welcome tourists to their two beautiful islands as if they were from their own family. Kiwi hospitality is world renowned for a warm welcome, good food and cosy surrounding. You will always have a good time when you are in the company of local New Zealand hosts and this will make your stay even more enjoyable.
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.
Transport in New Zealand is of the highest quality and catching a short flight, bus or renting a car is easy. The roads consist of long winding corners and epic mountain passes for you to take tour along and it is true that driving around New Zealand is an experience in itself!
If you are on a tight budget and looking to travel around New Zealand on the cheap, then you could always consider sticking out your thumb and hitchhiking some of the way! This is common here are very much so on the south island.
