New Zealand Fellowship Tours
Despite its youth, New Zealand has a rich christian history
Have you ever been on a tour that was not a blessing because you did not travel with other Christians? Faith Journeys is simply a means for you to enjoy friendship and encouragement that you gain when travelling with people of like mind or faith.
One of the best things about travelling is getting to know the locals.
In New Zealand that means meeting some of the nicest, friendliest people around. Don’t believe us? Here are 10 defining qualities that prove Kiwis are a lovable bunch.
Their easygoing spirit: You will most likely hear a kiwi (a New Zealander is fondly called a kiwi after their National bird) utter the phrase “she’ll be right” – This is pretty indicative of how they view life in general
A can-do attitude: This is directly tied to their easygoing nature and is a commendable can-do attitude that’s highly valued in all walks of life
Humility: Kiwis are quite humble people and don’t like bragging or boasting about their feats
Innovative Nature: One of New Zealand’s cultural icons is the number Eight wire: a symbol of what locals know as Kiwi ingenuity. Creative and entrepreneurial
Sense of Humour: Kiwis have quite a subtle, often self-deprecating sense of humour and wit
Protect Maori culture: New Zealanders have come a long way with Maori and Pakeha (NZ European) race relations
A Sense of ‘mateship’: Simply put, kiwis are loyal and friendly people when it matters most, be it in tragic times or otherwise
Very Hospitable: They are friendly or very friendly with mutual respect for others – as such hospitality and generosity are highly valued in New Zealand culture
Naturally outdoorsy people: they love getting out and about surrounded by their beautiful landscapes. They love sport
Likewise they care about the environment: quality of rivers, preservation of their mountains, tree planting and pest control – kiwis often volunteer to help with these things
