Why I chose to Visit New Zealand I chose to visit New Zealand on my trip as I have
never visited the country and I also love their hot climate of coarse! New Zealand’s is also one of the biggest countries for surfing which is a personal interest of mine. My plan was to work as a life guard or surfing instructor while I’m over there as I am officially qualified to do so now. New Zealand is known for many things including it’s sandy beaches, beautiful scenery, rugby and it’s old tribal culture. On my visit I would love to see the All Blacks play in their home stadium. I would also love to learn more about their pervious tribal cultures.

Culture The Maori are the indigenous Polynesian people

Food The most well known New Zealand dish is
definitely the Pavlova. It is basically like a cross between an angel food cake and a giant meringue and is a Kiwi icon. They are typically topped with whipped cream, kiwifruit or strawberries.
However the most popular savoury dish is either a traditional Maori (the native people of New Zealand) dish, or a colonial one.
