Aotearoa New Zealand

In this episode we take a deep dive into creativity and environmental sustainability in contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand.

NZ took the Covid-19 pandemic very seriously in early 2020, locking its borders and foregoing international tourism to protect its people. After two years, and a mass vaccine roll-out, this beautiful island nation on the edge of the Pacific is once again open to international visitors.

Stoke your wanderlust, and learn a bit more about what makes New Zealanders tick in this dive into the local culture and concerns of Aotearoa.
