With shorter commutes, generous leave policies, and a laid-back lifestyle, you’ll have plenty of time to explore and enjoy New Zealand. Whether it’s spending weekends hiking, surfing, or simply relaxing in the beautiful countryside. New Zealand’s unique geography offers endless opportunities for adventure and exploration. There’s always something new to discover – from the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, to the South Island’s fjords, to the vibrant cities of Auckland and Wellington.
Our cultural scene is a melting pot of influences from around the globe. With a strong presence of Pacific Island, Asian, and European communities, the country boasts a dynamic multicultural environment.
You will also experience the heart of New Zealand’s identity – te ao Māori. From traditional haka and waiata performances that stir the spirit, to the beautifully crafted wharenui (meeting houses) that tell stories of ancestors through intricate carvings and artwork, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the indigenous culture of our Aotearoa – Land Of The Long White Cloud.
