- Sometimes the way that we view the world can be pretty easily shaped by the maps we use. What if it was different?

I'm Norwegian, and I feel like NZ has so much in common with Norway. They are on opposite sides of the world, but both are roughly the same size (Norway is slightly bigger), about the same population density, both have this extremely beautiful nature with mountains and fjords, jagged cliffs and amazing waterfalls. I would love to visit NZ one day and visit this "paralell universe".
I agree! A friend of mine moved there the same month/year I moved to NZ. We often compare notes…
Trust me , it’s not bad here !
As a New Zealander we would be happy to see more people from other countries
Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise!
We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars!
But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you." [note 1]
Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel!
And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit!
The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth!
Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives?
And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people!
So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine!
For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever!
Terrible and powerful Talos! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment!
And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Talos, not as god, but as man!
Trust in me, Whiterun! Trust in Heimskr! For I am the chosen of Talos! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!
I bet it is often just as cold there, too. 🌨️ ☃️
How far are each from the poles? Is New Zealand as far away from the South Pole as Norway is from the north pole?
As someone who lives in Aotearoa (NZ) it was really nice to see someone make a video on our beautiful country, I always feel like we’re underrated because no one really knows the country exists,
So here’s a few fun facts about NZ:
1. You know that famous Windows picture with the arch rocks? Yep that’s in New Zealand! It’s at the top of the South Island Golden Bay, Wharariki Beach.
2. We have about 85 Native birds.
3. We were the first to let women vote!
It’s a very beautiful country, come visit us sometime ❤️🫶🏻
Kia ora fellow kiwi! :DD
I love that Aotearoa is used more and more!
@@alexkitty149hello
We don’t really have that many passport issues round the world, the NZ passport has more visa free destinations than Oz 😂 thanks for visiting, glad you enjoyed your time here ☺️
Loved this video especially because I'm a kiwi with a Tasmanian father so always notice both NZ and Tasmania missing from maps. As always your videos are so well balanced and fun to watch.
When you go back to NZ, don't ignore the north island. I would love to see a video of you hiking the famous Tongariro Crossing (though beware, the weather is fickle there).
I’d love to see the North Island next time ❤️
@@CurrentlyHannahnth island is wildly overpopulated. Still not to bad though.
@@CurrentlyHannahnth island is wildly overpopulated. Still not to bad though.
Thanks for loving on us, Hannah! NZ looks even more stunning through your lens.
Shhh! it's part of the plan! Don't go reminding everyone - we're TRYING to disappear off the map!
Sincerely, New Zealanders.
You smashed this edit Hannah, I love the combination of asking/answering an intriguing question alongside keeping it semi-travel vlog - nailed it 👊
Thanks so much Ryan! That’s exactly what I was going for 🥰
So excited to finally see some of your time in NZ! I'm a kiwi so it's cool to see your opinion on our country. There's so much to see and it's so beautiful
As a Canadian born, our school maps always had New Zealand on it. So surprised to hear this, wow .
Because you are a fellow Commonwealth country
You convinced me to visit NZ. Gotta take some time to save the money, but it seems worth it.
And let me add: the way you are amazed by nature in combination with the drone shots give me goosebumps every time. Your reactions are so pure, authentic and heart warming.
Oh thank you 🥰 Very kind! I can’t help it sometimes with how beautiful the views are!
@@CurrentlyHannahas long as y'all got rid of the Nazi prime minister I'd love to visit your beautiful country.😊
@@absorcyt5457they're all as bad as each other.
I visited New Zealand back in 2004 and like you, was blown away. So I moved here two years later. Still amazed by the beauty of it. :) The catch (you asked)? Housing is incredibly expensive and many houses are not properly insulated or heated. Well, many things are expensive and/or not available here, which can lead to less consumption (a good thing, in my mind!). Still, I love it here and am secretly happy that we are left off a lot of maps. ;)
If you come back to the North Island, drop me a line - my husband works at Weta Workshop and can arrange a behind the scenes tour for you. Look forward to seeing your video about the south island!
Haha there was another guy who said that he was happy NZ was left off the maps because it meant that it remained a secret 😅 I don’t blame you moving there.
I would actually die to see the Weta Workshop! 😍 I will absolutely take you up on that offer if I’m in the North Island! ❤️
Absolutely loved this video. I hate that I never noticed New Zealand was being left off maps! It's been high on my list to visit and you just jumped it to the top. Can't wait for the next one!
I'm going to New Zealand for the first time in February. Can't wait!
I couldn't help thinking about how prominent it was in the news during the pandemic. Folks sure knew it existed then! I know someone who moved to NZ for a few months and every photo she posted was breathtaking. This video is very convincing to go visit!
I’m from the U.K. and I’ve visited NZ back in 2019 and now I live in Iceland! You mention Iceland constantly being on people’s bucket list while NZ is often left off - I definitely have noticed a lot of similarities but in general they’re both unique - I think Iceland is generally so much closer, tourists I speak to here often say they wish they could visit NZ but it’s so far while Iceland is so much closer! At least for those of us in Europe and people from the US.
I can’t wait to go back to NZ again!
I’m sure Tasmania sympathises
Hahaha yes, that could be it’s own video also!
That’s sad. New Zealand in such a beautiful country and he’s actually in my bucket list. How dare they forget New Zealand!🥺
Thanks for showing support for our country. we love it here and are glad you could enjoy it and can't wait for you to come again
Greetings from DR 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴... beautiful New Zealand you're not alone you are here with us in the earth planet... we are all together, thanks beautiful people,,,I like your videos of NZ...
So that's how you do a deep dive about New Zealand! I have to say, between maps and trains and outdoor gear before that, you're really hitting everything I geek out about (except linguistics? But you have done Japanese language tips before!)! After this video, I want to look at South-up maps and am looking forward all the more to my upcoming holiday in Norway, which is a kind of poor man's New Zealand if you live in Europe 😅. But yeah, New Zealand is definitely on the list for some time in my life!
Visiting NZ is always in my bucket list as I live in Australia but now it is the top of my bucket list now. Thank you for your great contents as always 🤩
I live in Australia, and it took a minute for me to clue in to the fact that no, not every other country just hears about what's happening in New Zealand on the news semi-regularly
Yeah - Eurasia and the Americas are cool in many ways but they're so remote - it's a turnoff.
I live in Australia so I noticed NZ is missing immediately. Absolutely agree that NZ should be on top of your travel list. This April I spent a week in the South Island. The trip was beyond amazing. I’ve been to Iceland and I loved it. But a trip to Iceland took me about 2 full days on the plane. Whereas flying to Queenstown only took 3 hrs. Think about it, who wants exhausting long flights. If you let me choose again, I’d go NZ 100%.
Yeah I wish I knew that NZ was so close to BNE but also just as beautiful as places like Iceland 😊
@@CurrentlyHannahI'm from New Zealand I l8ve in auckland and are history is kinda sad wanna hear a story please please reply
@@trex193Tell it?
German who relocated to NZ for good this year after my first visit last year. Love it for the isolation, nature, people, peace and quiet. For someone as socially anxious as me, this is the perfect place to live. I'm alright with NZ not showing up on maps 😂 Now, I lived in French Polynesia before that. Try to get anyone to find that on the maps!
Welcome home!
Can't wait for the next video and your adventure across NZ! Crazy that people don't know about New Zealand, or wouldn't bother to look it up. We'll have to look up the story about the woman being detained.
Great promotion for NZ. As a kiwi living here it’s easy to forget what a stunning place it is. Nice to be reminded through the eyes of a foreigner.
As a long time follower I am feeling that you are really enjoying where you are at right now. This video, in my mind, is one of your most informative, unstressed, and creative. I do love your combination of beautiful video, voice-over and talk to camera style. Congratulations!!!
One of the reasons there are so many sheep in New Zealand is because originally wool was one of those materials that was light enough to transport by ship and valuable enough to make the trip worthwhile.
Oooooh interesting!
I cannot relate to them at all bcs geography is my fav subject in school and I have a map as a birthday present from my dearest aunt when i was a child so i pretty much know where everything is 😊
Im doing my number 1 bucket list trip in just over a month to Japan but my #2 is to go to New Zealand. Peter Jackson got me hooked on it with all the beauty of the country
As a big fan of New Zealand ever since I visited that always kind of bugged me. I've seen in NZ tho quite often the upside down map with NZ in the middle. Have to admit it was quite weird seeing it at first but in the end was a very interesting new perspective.
Really liked this video and hope you had a wonderful time in NZ and can't wait to see your next video!
NZ has been at the top of my travel list for years now. So jealous you got to experience all these beautiful places. I’ll make it there someday :)
Having visited NZ in 2005, I noticed it’s absence from the map immediately. I was there for 2 weeks training for a new Japan-based job, and spent the first getting trained in odometer fraud detection at the company’s office in Auckland, then spent the next week doing a clockwise tour of the North Island as I visited customer sites by myself and inspected their vehicles. Had a blast doing it and got to see a lot of the beautiful countryside as I went. Almost everyone I met suggested I check out the South Island…so that is a bucket-list item for a future trip!
Welcome to our country! Glad you saw the South Island! Funny thing... I've just spent the last 2 weeks in Japan after using your a bunch of your videos to help me out!
Hi Hannah n Chris… gr8 video!
Map: What many miss is the position of Earth in our galaxy… the Southern hemisphere looks out over the entire galaxy/Milky Way… but the northern hemisphere just gets a glimpse…starry nights are totally unreal in Aus and NZ…🍻 Johno
The maps all the important civilisations in the centre of the Milky Way use ,all show the Earth with Australia and New Zealand in the centre of the map - the side that faces them. (Except the ones that forget to include The Solar System completely)
I love the subreddit r/mapswithoutnewzealand , including its various increasingly-niche offshoots, like maps without Denmark. I also like how people will reply r/mapswithoutnewzealand when it’s just a random map of a completely different part of the world
Fantastic visuals, thanks Hannah and Chris. I'd love to at least check out Milford Sound one day, possibly a bit of kayaking... Did you have any interesting interactions with those cheeky pests the Kea?
We did! Kea’s are so cute but of course, quite cheeky 😂 They kept trying to scratch the solar panel on the roof!
The quiz is a bit ridiculous, I thought. I got 11/20, but I missed Cape Verde, Malawi, Belize, Marshall Islands, Uzbekistan (Iceland)...
Cape Verde? Marshall Islands? Come on mate, honestly...
@@CurrentlyHannah 😄 Yeah, I had heard that they are as fond of "deconstructing" things as our Sulphur-crested cockatoos...
once we get sick of visiting Japan, wife and i plus child will go to Nz as well. From Perth, it's only 7 hour flight! but japan is not much longer at 9.5hours
Perth is equally as isolated as New Zealand it feels 😅
@@CurrentlyHannah especially if youre a touring music group
Driving to milford sound is one of the greatest routes you can drive
New Zealand :) ❤️ 🇳🇿 Glad you focused on the South Island :)
Loved the fast paced intro and a great video overall! Keep up the good work Hannah!
New Zealand and the Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia look really similar! I want to visit now! Actually i know quite a lot of people who went to do a work and travel in New Zealand and everyone loved it. It's just really far away from home for us
that campervan thing is getting bookmarked! looks amazing. beautiful
NZ has been on my bucket list forever! I’ve gotta make it happen 😉 love the vid Hannah 🥰
Great vid! 😊 Would you also consider doing a vid on the state that's often left off world maps too (Tasmania)?
I’m form New Zealand and every time I see a map I look for my country and sometimes it’s there sometimes it’s not
I don't know how you make me care about maps and trains, but I do and I love it! Can't wait for the NZ series, it's been on my bucket list for years. 😍
Look at the weather in Milford Sound. It poured with rain when we were there and we couldn’t see anything.
Oh no! I’ve heard that rainy weather at Milford is great because of all the waterfalls, but not if you can’t see them 😔
New Zealand Haa been on my wishlist for a long time as a wildlife photographer looking forward to your videos as there always Beautiful and well made
As someone who has always dreamt of going to NZ it boggles my mind that it's so often forgotten and considered "unknown" 😅 I've been planning a camper van trip around the country so I'm looking forward to your itinerary video!
Wow! I’ve gotta get back to New Zealand. Great video - I loved the “missing country” intro.
Nice video Hannah, as a kiwi I think you have probably hit the best spots. North Island is a bit tame by comparison to the south. East Cape is excellent, the people are so very friendly, you stop for an ice cream and you end up telling your life story!😅
Fun fact. If you fly to NZ , its best to use air new zealand, as foriegn airlines often get lost finding us.
Every world map I've ever seen in New Zealand is printed correctly with the international date line down the center, so we are also in the center. So I couldn't understand the New Zealand missing off the map thing until I saw a world map online with the Atlantic ocean incorrectly in the middle.
Thanks Hannah, as a Sunny Coast Aussie, I was wrestling with my next Japan holiday itinerary, but just remembered that I have unfinished business in the south Island..NZ.....
I'm from New Zealand and growing up it always annoyed me whenever I would see maps without us. But now that this issue has produced so many memes and running gags I find it hysterical.
Since I was a kid I always wanted to see two countries: New Zealand and Japan. I've now been living in NZ South Island since 2015 and visiting Japan in September this year. Cannot wait for this to happen.
By the way, quiz score 14/20
14!?! That’s amazing! How many attempts, or was that the first? Either way very impressive!
@@CurrentlyHannah First attempt. Could have done better, if I only had a bigger screen 😄
Thanks Hannah that was a great video. I feel there are a few Kiwis that haven't experienced alot of New Zealand that you crammed into 2 weeks. People want to tour the world and forget we have some of the best adventures on earth. Been watching you for a while surprised you hadn't been here ages ago 😁
I loved New Zealand when I visited. Unfortunately, I only saw the north island. I would love to return and see the south island as well.
Maps in Kmart in NZ even miss NZ in there products.
As an American, I was shocked learning from this video that people don’t even realize NZ is a country. I am pretty sure most maps have it, but I’ll be keeping an extra close eye out. (I double checked the little map in my house. Rest assured, New Zealand is there.) We love NZ! ❤️
How delightful ❤ thank you for this visit. ❤❤❤❤
Now I want one of those downside up maps for my wall.
Need to get stickers of New Zealand to place them on maps that are missing them
Also I’ll be travelling to “off the map” in a couple weeks 😁😁
That's so funny- on that map from New Zealand's Gov. where it say "404 Something's missing" they're guilty of it too - DENMARK is not on their map either lol
I love New Zealand so much!! We just got from two weeks in the South Island and are looking at our next visit already 😅
I can't wait to see your next video!!
There’s no link to this game you referenced at 5:39
Ok found it myself and it’s really not that easy to notice all the missing countries
Sorry I’ve just posted it now!
One of your best videos. Thanks for making it.
I love this new video format from you!
It's like half your video was an intro to your NZ adventure. Lovely place.
"what's the catch?" - that would be the cost of living compared to wages... literally perfect other than that if you ask me!
I didn't see Tuvalu on the map. That was my first guess. Being from Canada we haven't had that problem since 1492
As a Kiwi, I appreciate you noticing us.
Also, on the upside down map thing, you know, compasses work by basically floating a magnet in water. The north end of the magnet always points north. However PLOT TWIST magnets attract to OPPOSITE poles. We use a compass to point north - but that's actually magnetically the south pole of Earth attracting the north pole of your portable magnet.... which means technically Antarctica is the Earth's North Pole. And all the maps should be turned down and NZ should be on top. And probably make it 10 times bigger...
Oh, got 14 out of 20 on the quiz first pop...
Oooh that’s so interesting! I had no idea about the magnet 🤔
Thanks! Love all of your content. And great editing, BTW!
Thank you for the tip 🥰
You are a brilliant travel vlogger!
I've heard that New Zealand's north island and south island have very different landscapes. My image and knowledge of New Zealand is that the South Island has spectacular natural landscapes, large sheep farms, and New Zealand's North Island has a large population and great cityscapes. New Zealand is at the top of my list of countries I want to visit someday.✨😊 I think New Zealand is an easy country to go to because there is little time difference with Japan.
I hope you will be able to visit Aotearoa someday! You are right, the South Island and the North Island are very different! Equally as beautiful with nature in different ways, and it is true the majority of the population lives up north, so please visit us down in the south! :D I am going to Japan for the first time next February and I can't wait! I love how close NZ and Japan are to each other geographically, I will definitely want to visit Japan often ^~^
@@Lolia. Thank you for encouraging me to visit Aotearoa!✨☺️ I hope you visit Japan next year and have a great time.✨🎶☺️
Jay Foreman/Map Men made a video recently about the history of map orientation. Very entertaining and informative.

They also did one about the projections: ua-cam.com/video/jtBV3GgQLg/v-deo.html
i would love to go to NZ!! boggles my mind that some people don’t even know it exists
I really have a hard time to understand people who are so bad at geography. But then again, I'm not good at a lot of other things myself. Thanks for the video! Would love to visit Middle Earth, I mean, New Zealand one day!
Hahaha I completely agree with you, but then again like you said, I’m interested in geography, topography and maps but have plenty of other gaps in my knowledge outside of that 😂
Really enjoyed this!
Great video. New Zealand is in my top five. A wonderful country with amazing people.
When I visited NZ 10 years ago, I saw these maps where the country is in the center. Thought they were cool but only now I understand the bigger reason behind them 😮
Yeah I think I’ve seen them before but never took too much notice of them, but now I will!
Love to visit The Shire !
Meanwhile Antarctica missing in all those maps shown in the video.
I get Cleo Abram vive haha
amazing!
Amazing video!! You convinced me to visit NZ. Let me start to save money!! I can’t wait next your video!!! 😆😆
Hi great video, I don’t mind being missed out, it definitely helped us during Covid.
Unexpected! I'm so sorry about New Zeland, it should be always on the map, it's a beutiful country...
You have to come to the south of Chile, the Patagonia, it is very similar to New Zeland!
Amazing video!!
like Caiman island, on some maps, it's not there also!
Sadly I think a big barrier to entry for people traveling to NZ is the cost. For example for me to fly round trip from Phoenix, AZ to Christchurch in September it would cost me $1,198 whereas for me to fly to Reykjavik it would only cost me $461. Not to mention the general cost of everything is alot higher in NZ. So I could understand why someone would pass on a ticket that is double the price and opt for another place sadly. But I dream of going to NZ one day.
I’m from NZ. Did you know Lord of the Rings was filmed here? And also I met some kea. One was screaming at nothing and another was by the ‘do not feed the kea’ sign like it wanted to distract me from the sign lol
Murray:
There's something I want to talk to you about actually, Jemaine. Umm... it's not good news; Planet Jemaine supernova-ed. Yeah, there's nothing left of it apparently, just a huge, gaseous cloud - the beginnings of a black hole.
Jemaine:
When did this happen?
Murray:
About four million years ago. Yeah, Sorry.
Jemaine:
Well, that was a waste of fifty bucks.
Lovely video!!
I wonder if Gen X Americans maiGht be more familiar with NZ? There was a popular TV miniseries titled “The Thorn Birds” based on Australia’s best selling novel. Ever since I was a child, I have always wanted to visit NZ after watching the series!
The LOTR movie trilogy was shot in NZ
Im beginning to learn stuff on youtube...., this isnt supposed to happen! I actually never knew that about New Zealand. Very interesting video, nice one!
geography really doesnt get the love it deserves 😔 i absolutely love geography and cartography, tried the quiz and got 18/20! loved the video, great work!
18! That’s gotta be a record! Well done.
Kiwis be like... Mate?
