Location
Legend has it that Polynesian demigod, Maui, fished New Zealand out of the sea. The south-pacific culture that inspired this legend still thrives in New Zealand today.
The country, from its snow-capped peaks to its bubbling hot springs, is filled with stunning landscapes, but even more impressive is the easy-going nature of the locals. Kiwis, as New Zealanders refer to themselves, are truly welcoming, life-loving people.
Situated on two separate islands (the North Island and the South Island), New Zealand is home to some of the most beautiful and diverse natural environments on the planet.
