Answer 2

New Zealanders are an active people.  It often seems that, after watching rugby, their national sport is hiking (which they call tramping).  They do mountaineering, kayaking, mountain biking, skiing etc, etc, etc....  If you are into that sort of thing you will have a great time.

It is not warm though, unless you are comparing it to Antarctica.
