Wow thank you so much for this! I'm a dual citizen US and NZ, but have only lived there for a couple years when I was young, and then short visits now and then. I'm thinking of moving there with my wife, if we can find work. This brings back so many memories especially about the outdoors (I can still remember the sound of all those amazing birds in the forest) and youth sports. And the fish and chips! Oh my. ❤ I too am so thankful how the Maori and their culture are so respected.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How cool. Love it. Always interesting to hear what are the 'stand outs' to someone who has not grown up here. As such a young country, aside from Maori, we are all really visitors ourselves; perhaps this is where the welcoming culture you speak of comes from? Families like yourselves, brave enough to leave the comfort of what they know, are all part of creating the melting pot that is 'our culture'. Thanks for your contribution and embracing what is on offer here in Aotearoa with such an openminded manner. Love love love peeps like you!!!
Anita - that is a great point! We are all visitors as this is the youngest country!
American Football was originally built from Rugby League; which in turn is built from Rugby Union.
Apart from different rules, names & outfits; American football retains many of the original Rugby League game plays, field layouts, etc.
It’s not overly difficult to flip between the 2 games.
Just wanted to say how much I admire you and the passion you bring to the video. Thank you for the enjoyment.
Awe thanks I appreciate it!
Which country/countries does the bulk of immigrants to NZ come from?
KARAKIA - BLESSING TO GIVE APPRECIATION, GOODWILL, EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING TO ALL THAT EMBRACES NATURE AND PROSPERITY.
Thanks for watching Debbie!
Tara, I’ve been sub following you for a while now. I’m Maori and so intrigued by the views and perspectives from immigrants to Aotearoa. As you talked about Maori culture it made me tear up emotionally because my Dad told us stories about getting caned if they spoke Te Reo Maori at school
And the racism I’ve experienced in my life. BUT! I know we are Warriors and love with all our hearts! We love the whenua (land) because it’s part of us!
We are kaitiaki (guardians) of the land to leave things the way they were for generations to come.
You have honoured us with your appreciation and love of our country. I hope to thank you in person one day.
Kia pai to mahi ehoa ma!
Good effort my friend
Josh
Awe thanks so much for taking the time to write these kind words!!
It's great how you do these reviews with such 'clarity ', magnificant , It's like having a mirror for us to see and compare who we are :)
Surfing, horse riding, ice hockey = all depending where you live. If you want to do something, google it, research, you will find what you’re looking for. These vids are amazing.
If you want something a bit different for your kids to try for a sport (and you n hubby), clay target shooting. There is a gun club in almost every town in NZ. Most have a club day on the 2nd or 3rd Sunday of the month. Go along and watch for a bi. Ask to have a go, and someone will lend you a gun and guide you through what they need to, and the club will shout you some targets. I've shot at a lot of clubs over many years, and a couple of things I can tell you with absolute certainty: Almost everyone who tries it enjoys it. People who turn up just wanting to have a try are ALWAYS welcomed. And dont tell your boys this bit - girls are generally better at it than boys across all age groups.
Yeah not different for an American - ha ha - popular where we are from
Gardening as a hobby or pastime, if you prefer, is huge here in NZ. Also fishing, both salt and freshwater, is very popular. The trout fishing is some of the best in the world and fly fishing in the back country rivers and streams is world famous. Hunting deer, wild pigs and duck shooting in season is also popular for many people..
Yes totally agree that gardening is huge!!
@@Kiwiamericans Are deer native to NZ or have they been introduced?
@Edward Amos Brandwein They were introduced. There are seven species altogether. The red deer is the most common and were imported from Scotland and England. The fallow deer from England, the whitetail and wapiti (elk) from the U.S. and the sika sambar and rusa from Asia.

Just got back from Queenstown, and it's brilliant! Will be back the very second I can!
I am so glad you loved it!
Kia ora and thank you for highlighting how important the indigenous culture is regarded compared to other countries like the US. The Maori culture is revered by other indigenous cultures around the world as a beacon of “HOPE”. I’m so proud of how far we (as a nation) have come in such a short space of time. Therefore, on behalf of me, mine and my ancestors, I’d like to take this opportunity to say, thank you NZ, well done and long may it continue. With all due respect, what really makes NZ unique and rare on the world stage, is not due to sports, population size, humanitarian aid, defence force, infrastructure, agriculture and fisheries or imports and exports or the scenic beauty and native flora and fauna. Similar to many other countries, it’s basically the indigenous culture and NZ (in partnership) should be capitalising via tourism in other parts of the country other than ROTORUA, no disrespect intended towards my Te Arawa relatives. Maybe on February 6th 2040, the 200 year anniversary of our national day and come together as “ONE”. Let’s celebrate being different from other countries. We are better off working together than apart, “ 3:32 He Mahi Tahi Tatou, He Iwi Kotahi Tatou”. It’s not rocket science, united we stand or divided we fall, let’s keep moving forward and learning from the past… noho ora mai ra koutou katoa, i raro i te manaakitanga o te Atua.
It's a pity John that the politicians are always trying to take advantage of the Maori culture for their own personal advantage and that includes the Maori party too.
Most indigenous plants in NZ are evergreens
Was recently in Wellington and WOW! So many new food places to eat at in the CBD. You definitely aren't going to starve there. They all seem to be busy too. I did notice a robot being used at a Kiwi chain restaurant called Cobb & Co in Porirua. That was an eye opener.
wow really - a robot!? How innovative of NZ
COBB&CO was a stage coaching company operating in Australia 🇦🇺 and New Zealand 🇳🇿.
They have 2 robots at the one in Rotorua as well.
You always lift my spirits Tara. Kiwis can be overly-critical of their country at times. It's nice to hear such a positive reaction to NZ.
Badminton is a big sport here??? Really? Where? Born here and never met anyone that plays it.
Skiing is huge here??? If you have lots of money for travel, accommodation, slope rentals etc... maybe.
Obviously you have a decent amount of money and can afford these things. The average person can't here.
Just discovered your channel. I love it. Got so many episodes to watch. Well done. 😊
Awe thanks 😊
It would be cool if you invited a person from the Tangata Whenua to explain their worldview.
Yes that is all in my training hub :)
Thank you for your great recommendation of Aotearoa New Zealand, you are a wonderful embasadore for this country. I love your videos ❤
Awe thanks for watching
Our major sports are very British, and they come from our British ancestors --- soccer (football) rugby, cricket, netball. But we have so many other sports as well, summer and winter.
Thanks for sharing
*Football = Soccer for those in NZ who still call it Soccer and also for those in different countries.*
Kia ora rawa atu for your comments about us Māori. We are like American and Canadian native peoples who measure mana or personal esteem by a simple standard. You are respected by what you can give your visitors & your people rather than how much you keep for yourself. Every indigenous culture has similar values except the Europeans who unfortunately managed to circumnavigate the globe first and once they learned about gun powder from the Chinese they became masters and slave traders. PS: I love that your husband coaches because it shows that you are committed to your community and really like it here..
This makes me so homesick. There’s so much amazing about living in Europe, but the FEEL NZ has, the rich culture, the scenery, the friendliness of Kiwis is just what life should be.
I moved from NZ to Canada first and I was SHOCKED at the way indigenous people are treated there. I went to the far north of Canada and I bawled my eyes out witnessing it and when I spoke to non indigenous Canadians about it they were so nonchalant. They are so brainwashed in to believing indigenous people have lesser value. It’s madness.
Oh my goodness yes... it is sooo shocking. NZ has paved a way to bring an amazing example in this area. Not perfect but leaps and bounds above some many larger nations
We lost the 1995 Rugby World Cup final, I'm still not over it..
🤣😂
We win some we lose some that's just the way it is
one question: Have you and your family had a Hangi yet?
Awesome Tara.
Thanks for watching
We also care about our environment. It’s not uncommon to see beach walkers with bags picking up plastics washed up onto our beaches as well as rubbish left behind by irresponsible beach goers.
The latest environmental report on New Zealand’s lakes and rivers reiterates bleak news about the state of freshwater ecosystems....
Almost all New Zealand rivers running through urban and farming areas (95-99%) carry pollution above water quality guidelines, while most of the nation’s wetlands (90%) have been drained, and many freshwater fish species (76%) are threatened or at risk. Report produced jointly by the Ministry for the Environment and Stats NZ. "Our freshwater 2020", April 2, 2020.
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp exactly, i said the same thing years ago.
@@melaroha8003 Kiwi's are in denial about how much they have phucked the environment.
You’re right, compared to living here in Europe where I see people throw chips ps keys out their car windows. Drop cans on the ground after finishing them, throw rubbish in the gutters… it’s shocking! When I go home to NZ I’m reminded how beautiful it is and how much we value the beauty of our country
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wpBig business yes but not your everyday kiwi.
Love your videos, have you seen the movie The Leading Edge? you'll love it!
It's cool to see new immigrants get right into the Haka, while overseas representing the Country, The pride and the mana it brings, is so cool ❤
Your pronunciation of Maori is pretty good, but the R needs some practice. At the moment it sounds more like an L. It's much the same as the Spanish R, a flick of the tongue across the roof of the mouth, like a very soft and fast D.
Great video. and a big thank you re Tramping in New Zealand . The NZ bush gives a gift that keeps giving .... that is peace and beauty. Also you cannot every have enough of the bird song and a sense of wonder ti makes you realize how small we are as humans. Trees over a thousand years old are very common.
Thanks for watching :)
To keep NZ friendly, tolerant, welcoming, and so friendly we need to be concerned about the growing apartied viewpoints of extremist Maori and European minorities.
i think its easier coming from the uk to new zealand everything is so familiar except if you are sitting on a beach thats the border there is no channel tunnel to Europe its a seriously remote location
Yes much easier!
Except the UK doesn’t have a hair on NZ
I think you'll find we are over 5 million, once the census results come out this year
LOL when your walking around Sylvia park on a Saturday and Sunday arvo it certain feels like we're closer to 6 million haha and there's nothing wrong with that at all, another example is missionbay on a Sunday almost looks like Bondi beach, Bodies everywhere it is beautiful to see how truly sociable our culture is, also this comes back to how we have an outdoorsy culture and a portion of those people out and about are spending a lot of money in cafes having coffees , bottomless brunches, catching up with family and friends from babies to senior citizens they're all out doing it.
Born and raised in NZ have two beautiful maori grand babies
🌹🤩This has been a challenging time,✨🌼 and I appreciate you so much.❤️😍You have no idea how much your help has meant.✨😍 “For all the little and big ways you've pitched in…thanks!”✨😍 “There was nothing random about your acts of kindness 🙏🥰☺️🥳😌
You are so welcome
Hello nice videos of your's
I better go to the shop before my head gets too big to squeeze out through even the sliding door 😅. . .is just a shame that things have got so expensive here . . .
It's the same problem the world over unfortunately.
Food quality is outstanding in NZ.
No hormones. No genetically modified foods. No high-fructose corn syrup.
It's all healthy grass-fed free range.
Secret Sauce is a secret ;)
Do NZers still use lots of lanolin based products? It's that characteristic smell that I associate with New Zealand. And yes sports were important. All the husbands played rugby on Sundays followed by a wonderful curry buffet. The wives gossiped on the sidelines (and explained to my American mother how sports made their men perform better in the marriage bed. The good old days !)
Netball Silver Ferns
YESS
I'm thinking on coming there on a migrant skilled visa as an electrician. Do you know if that's possible?
Yes definitely
Yess we are rough and tough hey talk about contact sport we don't need to were plastic guards 😊 JAKX
😊 yeah girl we are multi cultural but we are kiwi no were else in the world can you find a true born kiwi 😊 here is true paradise 😊JAKX
i feel like i saw you in kawerau but i know i did not just someone who looked like you
Wasn't me - by Hi anyway!
@@Kiwiamericans yeah i know
Yip it dont matter what sports the kids play as long they give it a go
why Kiwi's win more Olympic pedals than other states per head of population
All without the use of Steroids too. One thing about Aotearoa is our athletes don't use drugs
@@boomertuxx New Zealand has no doubt had athletes that have used steroids, it's just that they haven't been caught.
@@zeissOholicwe have not had any of our Olympians stripped of medals they do catch you eventually but has not happened so our athletes are clean.
@@boomertuxx New Zealand Herald. December 9, 2017.
An investigation into illegal steroids has uncovered widespread cheating in New Zealand sport, with up to 80 athletes allegedly caught up in a doping investigation.
The scope and results of the investigation are unprecedented and have the ability to tarnish the country's reputation as a "clean" sporting nation.
The athletes came the attention of investigators after details were found in the database of a Christchurch man jailed for selling steriods via the internet.
"It is a massive wake-up call," said New Zealand Sport CEO Peter Miskimmin.
The cases feature a range of sports, but it is understood that rugby players make up a significant portion - more than 40 per cent - of who now face potential sanctions.
Are here any other germans who are thinking about to move to NZ?
Sind hier noch andere Deutsche, die interessiert sind in Neuseeland einzuwandern?
I recently had one client who is from Germany...
With luck they will write 😇
"Germans" not "Germanys"
Sorry autocorrection
Wow, amazing video, i’ve been a long time since i saw a video and congrats the quality of videos and edits increased a lot! Cheers from Uruguay!
Thanks a ton!
Hi Tara, I love your videos, hey have you explored Hokianga, Far North in the NOrth Island?
I have been up there but not for too long...
It is amazing in NZ that all kinds of sports, activities are accessible to anyone especially available through school curriculum. In quite a few countries, Sports like rugby is only available in elite, well-to-do schools or membership, elite clubs where one has to pay exorbitant $$ to be members.
That is a good point - I have not thought of it like that before!
The one thing Kiwi's dislike more than anything else is elitism and snobbery.
Hi
Great Video, NZ is lucky to have you guys 😊
Awe thanks for watching :)

Greetings from Israel
Pardon, it's a running joke. Practically the whole country goes into morning when the all blacks loose
Not just in NZ Kiwi's around the world go into mourning if the AB's lose, It's just who we are. 😜😜
@@Lou84mm ya not wrong lol
lol ..not all mate, given its for few or a variety of reasons, be it a new coach, players or combinations and if they lose ..they lose, congrats to the winners .. like Argentina beating the AB's for the first time, that was an awesome accomplishment.. good for the game itself.
NZ school curriculum has undergone some changes since my experiences in the 1970s in MOO MOO central,
Newstead , Hamilton. =Ruakura is a Bull Farm.
all our trees are ever green, any that aren't have been imported and the south, especially Chch have a lot of imported trees
Ah yes I noticed that when in Christchurch!
I agree with everything you said accept the cultural aspect, my opinion won’t be popular probably but here goes..
I think as a country we’ve over compensated toward the Māori culture, I do think Māori language and culture should be available to learn in school but it’s SHOULD NOT be forced on to students, there are racist aspects to our society here in NZ on BOTH SIDES of that coin, a great example is our health system prioritising Māori over all others. Yes Europeans did wicked stuff in the past but let’s not kid ourselves here Māori we’re no beacon of love and light either. Just my two cents…
Perhaps you should look at the treaty and how typically the indigenous people wind up with the short end of the stick and the stats - when the crown do not honour an agreement under which a nation was established then obviously when efforts are made to honour the treaty you're going to feel like something is being forced upon you - that is a generational thing where for decades every NZer coasted along in blissful ignorance . If you feel "forced" you should have some empathy for the people who are still fighting for the crown to honour the treaty. This may be the other side of your point but it is equally unpopular - why? Frankly because people like you don't believe in a fair shake - how unkiwi - or is it? This lady should be allowed to post her own feelings about life in NZ - her channel her honest experience - knowing things come with time and an effort to open the mind to facts not feelings - NZ's founding document is the Treaty of Waitangi - We have no constitution but like the American Constitution - it only means anything if people honour it.
@@writersblock8493
People like me… hmmm, people who feel like second class citizens in what as much their country as it is anyone else’s by wokesters like yourself. Fair shake? What’s that when it’s at home? People all over this country are not getting a fair shake In many different ways but it seems to be more and more so if you’re of Maori heritage you can jump the cue to some degree or another, that’s not a racist remark, it’s a verifiable fact!
I think the Treaty of Waitangi needs to go and a new document drawn up where no ethnicity can claim dominion over land, water, air or any other “rights”, all should be treated equal under one law for all citizens and the document should also reject any external governance such as the EU etc.
Our electoral system sucks and should be reviewed because you get the least voted for parties often with disproportionate amounts of power, politicians need to be much more accountable particularly around spending taxpayers money because we’re heading towards bankruptcy at break neck speed and it’s largely due to irresponsible wasteful spending and cronyism.
My point here in this rant this country has many many problems and there’s a wokeness in our political system that bent on creating wider racial divisions by elevating an ethnicity over others which however you want to boil it down is wrong! We don’t need more problems, we need less…
blah blah blah ..... it is green but the sun rarely shines lots of teen depression.
5.1 million people live in NZ, please do your research properly mrs american
chill jono .. advised stats based on 2022 census
Love your content and insights just a mild correction

Ah yes - sorry about that!
