Learn basic Maori vocabulary
The joy of communicating in Maori
During my travels in New Zealand, I learned some basic Maori vocabulary, such as “Kia ora” (hello) and “Ka kite anō” (goodbye). This allowed me to communicate better with the locals and made my travels more enjoyable and memorable.
Respect the local Maori culture and traditions
Participate in Maori cultural activities
During one of my trips in New Zealand, I had the opportunity to participate in a Maori cultural performance, where I enjoyed traditional song and dance, and witnessed the Maori Haka. Respecting and understanding the local Maori culture and traditions allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of New Zealand’s diverse culture.
Experience the local Maori way of life
Visit a Maori village
During my travels in the North Island of New Zealand, I visited a Maori village, where I learned about the Maori way of life and traditional skills. Through this personal experience, I gained a greater respect and appreciation for New Zealand’s Maori culture.
I believe that by learning basic Maori vocabulary and respecting the local Maori culture and traditions, your travels in New Zealand will become even more enriching and enjoyable.
