choccy-flavoured Primo. “I’m going to the dairy to grab

in New Zealand, you will own one. “Let’s go to the bach this
weekend for a girly getaway while Mummy and Daddy are
away on the yacht.”
3. Jandals: Flip flops/thongs. The closest thing to going
barefoot (which Kiwi’s love by the way!). “We’re going to
the movies? I’ll wear my jandals.”
4. Beaut: Great, excellent, very good. “My car’s a beaut.”
5. Bro: Short for brother. A term of endearment for a close
male friend and used a hell of a lot. “Hey, bro. Let’s go
have some pints.”
6. Dodgy: Suspicious. “That guy looks seriously dodgy.”
7. Stoked: Pretty happy and chuffed about something. “I’m so
stoked a New Year’s Eve Festival is coming to Auckland.”

wear my gumboots in the garden.”
14. Cuz/zie: Abbreviation of cousin. Can be male or
female. “Hey cuz, how are you?”
15. Scull: Down your drink—not for the faint-hearted. If
someone yells scull, you do it! “Happy 21st, Jack—now
scull your yard glass!”
16. Heaps: A lot. “I have heaps of uni work to do” or “that
looks like heaps of fun.” This word is literally used ‘heaps’
in New Zealand.
17. Crook: To feel sick or unwell. “I felt so crook after all
those Pineapple Lumps.”
18. Tiki tour: Getting to a destination the long way. “Let’s

A country of dramatically diverse environments,
New Zealand offers an array of activities for
outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
New Zealand's remarkably varied landscape
includes beaches, mountains, fjords, glaciers and
rain forests, making it one of the most biologically
diverse places on Earth. The small country
consists of two main islands, the North Island and
the South Island, each boasting a surprising
variety of natural wonders as well as urban
centers.
If you are planning on visiting New Zealand, be
prepared to be mobile in order to experience all
the country has to offer. Although the entire size of
the island nation is roughly the same as Colorado,
there are countless different environments and
geographically distinct regions. The best way to
truly see the country is to make sure you plan and
come ready to explore.
That being said, there are also plenty of options
for a more relaxing and peaceful vacation, but
after the 12-24 hour plane ride it takes to get
there, you should have had plenty of time to rest
up.
Much of the country lies close to the coastline,
making for an overall temperate climate.
However, some areas can experience four
seasons in one day, as the climate can shift
dramatically due to sharp regional contrasts.
New Zealand was one of the last major land
masses on Earth to be populated by humans and
is the second-closest land mass to Antarctica,
behind Chile. The Maori arrived on the islands
around 800 A.D. and it wasn't until 1840 that they
entered into a compact with Britain; they
surrendered sovereignty but maintained territorial
rights to the land.
