Your guide to the South Pacific - with Jo Coolen 

Jessica Nabongo is in a rare club - she is one of the few people to have travelled to every country on Earth, achieving the feat in 2019 and is one of the only Black women to have done so. And for much of her travels, she has gone to these countries by herself.

For the last episode of the season, Lorna is joined by Jessica to discuss how she has made a career out of travelling the world, which of the 195 countries she would recommend - and which countries she didn't enjoy.

For decades, passports have been our main form of identification when travelling between countries.

But within only a few years, we could soon see physical passports become a thing of the past, and move onto our phones alongside our boarding passes.

And it's not the only way the industry is changing. From green-friendly planes to different types of seating, air travel as we know it is changing.

To discuss the state of the industry, this week Lorna is joined by Air New Zealand Chief Transformation and Alliances Officer, Mike Williams, to talk through the changes, and how Air New Zealand is recovering from the pandemic.

New Zealand may have lost the tradition of the big Sunday drive, but there is plenty to go see in on our own backyard. There are so many great locations to visit around both the North and South Islands - and Stewart Island as well - so this week, we are exploring the hidden gems you might like to consider for your next road trip around the country.  

And to do that, Lorna is joined by a man who has extensively travelled New Zealand. Peter Janssen is an experienced travel writer who has criss-crossed the length of New Zealand 15 times, and knows all the best spots to visit.
