One of my goals for this year is to fly more, and fly further. I've got Mauritius, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea at the top of my list.

I know some people find airports to be stressful or a chore, but there's something about just sitting in an airport cafe in the early hours of a sunny morning that gives this vibe I can't really articulate. I just love it. I'm still like a little kid whenever the plane is taking off, and even in cruise I just can't get over the fact that we're travelling in a metal tube so high above the Earth at incredible speeds, and we could be on the other side of the world in less than a day! Getting a window seat is a must!

It makes me feel really proud to live in an era where it's possible for us to fly to one continent to the next within hours...

I don't love flying and would avoid it if possible (unless my alternative was a ship, call it a phobia), but of all the countries I could go to, I'd most love to go to New Zealand. Feel free to take me with you :)

I totally get you for having it on your list too, I've seen so many photos of New Zealand, and some of them almost don't look real. I mean that in a good way, the vibe is just that sublime! Also the weather tends to be mild even in the summer so that's cool. Only problem is the flight time...just thinking about it is making my butt hurt... 😂
