The Truth About What New Zealand People Are (Really) Like
Wondering about New Zealand culture? Well. My family and I have been living in New Zealand for almost twelve years.
And in that time we have got to know many New Zealanders. (Or if we are going to use New Zealand slang, Kiwis).
So in this week’s New Zealand podcast, we thought it would be interesting to talk about New Zealand culture; most importantly the things that New Zealand people are known for. Tell you our opinion on whether we think those labels are right.

I’m not going to lie. Creating a podcast episode every week isn’t easy. Maybe if we had a team of guys sorting out this and that it’d be different, but we don’t. It’s just me and Bri. A husband and wife, living in New Zealand.
Every week we chew the fat on life (usually about travel, and New Zealand) and then we share it with the world.
Sounds easy, doesn’t it?
