My journey to creating Whoop Whoop Walk About Tours began with love—a love that not only brought me closer to my husband but also to the rich cultural heritage of his Māori ancestry.
Falling in Love with New Zealand and Its Culture
When my husband, a proud Māori, took me to his homeland in New Zealand, I was instantly captivated. The breath taking landscapes and the warmth of the people were incredible, but what struck me the most was the deep sense of pride the Māori people had in their culture. Everywhere I turned, their traditions and stories were celebrated, forming an integral part of New Zealand's identity.
Learning to Embrace My Aboriginality
Living in New Zealand for 10 years, I learned valuable lessons from the Māori on how to preserve cultural heritage and share it with the world. They taught me to be proud of my Aboriginality and to welcome strangers with open arms, sharing with them the beauty and depth of our traditions. This cultural pride and hospitality were deeply inspiring and left a lasting impression on me.
The Inspiration Behind Whoop Whoop Walk About Tours
During my time in New Zealand, I saw first hand how the Māori worked tirelessly to make their culture an iconic part of the country’s identity. This dedication stood in stark contrast to what I observed back home in Australia, where the rich heritage of Aboriginal culture was not given the same visibility and reverence.
This realization planted a seed in my heart. I wanted to bring the same level of pride and visibility to Aboriginal culture in Australia. Little did I know, this dream would eventually become Whoop Whoop Walk About Tours.
