New Zealand

The first country with universal suffrage

This means that New Zealand was the first country in which the vote for women was approved, in 1893. Long before in most of the countries in the world.

The kiwi is not only a fruit

If you travel to Aotearoa, you must be careful when using the word kiwi, since there they use it with three different meanings. A dry kiwi is a person who was born in New Zealand, a kiwi bird is a bird that is also used as a national symbol and, of course, there is the kiwi fruit to refer to the delicious fruit!

It was the last country in the world to be inhabited by humans

New Zealand’s history dates back just a few hundred years. This country was inhabited by the first humans only 800 years ago and it was, of course, the Maori who arrived first. Kia Kaha!
