At the start of this year Hamilton's Herman Jagpal set himself an ambitious goal - to share 365 days of kindness.
Each day he asks someone at random to help him with a fun task, that could be handing out flowers or inviting strangers to dinner.
He documents the whole process on Instagram as "Daily Rejection".
Where he noticed a regular comment was "This would only work in New Zealand"
So, to see if that's true, today he sets off on a 30-day world tour.
