The Kiwi Way
Kiwis continue to view themselves as pioneers in many respects. Being so isolated has probably given them the ability to be highly resourceful. They work on their own homes, fix and build items in their sheds, and raise money by selling sausages in front of stores.
When individuals believe they can solve their problems on their own, New Zealanders dislike asking for assistance from outsiders. Although it's a significant part of the Kiwi identity, you could find them to be a little stubborn, especially if you're used to consulting an expert whenever it makes sense.
The value Kiwis place on their life outside of work is another thing you'll notice about them right away. They put in a lot of work, but they also have a lot of fun. They make time for leisure and family, whether they spend their weekends playing rugby or hiking up a mountain.
The culture of the Kiwi is fairly relaxed. The best thing you can do to fit in is to unwind and make an effort to have fun. Two of the most valued qualities among Kiwis are friendliness and humility, and newcomers encounter the most difficulties when they fail to uphold these principles. Locals are more likely to interpret your professionalism or politeness as a condescending attitude. Almost always, a smile is appreciated.
