Front Foot English Podcast Eli

Whether you’re in New Zealand for a short stay or you’re planning to make Aotearoa home, you’re probably keen to get out and explore. In the last two episodes I spoke about hiking, biking, snowsport and watersport options that exist here. In this, the 3rd and final episode of this three-part mini series, I talk about hunting and fishing - two activities that many rural New Zealanders are passionate about. If you’re keen to learn more about hunting and fishing in New Zealand, I hope you find this episode helpful.

Whether you’re in New Zealand for a short stay or you’re planning to make Aotearoa home, you’re probably keen to get out and explore. In the last episode I spoke about a few of the many hiking and biking options that exist here. In this, the 2nd episode of this three-part mini series, I talk about some of the snow and water activities on offer in New Zealand. I focus on comparisons in this episode, so you’ll hear me use comparatives throughout. I’m going to compare New Zealand with other countries I’ve visited, and I’m also going to compare the North Island with the South Island.

Whether you’re in New Zealand temporarily or you’re planning to make Aotearoa home, you’re probably keen to get out and explore. From soaring mountains to pristine beaches, Aotearoa New Zealand is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. In this episode of the Front Foot English Podcast I discuss some of the activities that will satisfy your thirst for adventure. I’ll reflect on a few of my personal experiences, and I’ll give you some tips for making the most of your time here. There’s a lot to talk about, so I’m going to split this topic over three episodes. In this episode I first talk about what makes New Zealand so popular for outdoor pursuits. I then speak about hiking and biking. I talk about trails like the Milford Track, Queen Charlotte Track and the Old Ghost Road. I also speak about downhill mountain biking options in New Zealand.
