Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.

At Kumon, students begin study at a level that allows them to build confidence from day 1. Students progress through the programmes based on their ability rather than their age. Over time, students can study advanced material confidently and independently for success at school and everyday life.

Kumon Maths and English develop calculation ability and reading ability, concentration, a daily study and reading habit and most importantly the confidence to learn independently.
