I thought I would put in a quick note about some of the words and titles I've used to create my new blog! Since I've just learned what they mean, I am assuming it would be a good idea to fill in the rest of you! So, here goes:
"Kiwi" - Actually, a flightless bird living in New Zealand; today, New Zealanders are also called "Kiwis" - so, I'm planning to meet a lot of them :-)
"Tramping" - Stop you're worrying, I will not be selling my body all over New Zealand to fund my travels... "Tramping" is a word used by the Kiwis to refer to hiking, along with backpacking and camping too - something I hope to do a whole lot of!
"Aotearoa" - This is the native name for 'New Zealand' used by the Maori people. The Maori are indigenous population of New Zealand. Aotearoa means "the land of the long white cloud."
