Backyard Roadies Details
Backyard Roadies is about giving people living in New Zealand the opportunity to explore their own backyards. We understand that travel takes time and money. Many people spent 2019 saving money, researching, planning and getting leave approved, only to have all the borders close in their face. Luckily for those in New Zealand, you are stuck in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Before COVID, roughly 3.8 million international tourists visited New Zealand every year, so we clearly have something special on our own doorstep. Now we have it all to ourselves.We have created tours that aim to match 3 criteria:Accessible – Most of us have jobs, families, sports, or other commitments, so we have kept our tours short. This means you only need to get a couple of days off work to come on an epic journey. We have also partnered with small local-owned businesses, to keep our costs down.Meaningful – People travel for all sorts of reasons, but the beauty of exploring your own backyard is the potential to create long-term connections. You probably live quite close to the other people on the tour, so might even find yourself spending time together after the tour ends. If you see something you want to know more about, it is only just down the road for you to come back another weekend. We hope the roadie continues to have a positive effect on you, long after you hop off the bus!Ethical – The uncertainty of 2020 has shown us all the importance of communities sticking together and supporting each other. From accommodation, to activities, to signage and merchandise, we aim to partner with smaller local-owned businesses. We hope to educate and connect people with the world and environment around them. Sharing one vehicle between all of us is easier on the planet than multiple vehicles on the road, and we are constantly learning and looking to improve our systems to decrease our impact on the climate.
