Hello Explore readers and welcome back to the new semester! I hope you had a fantastic break. Over the holidays I went on a road trip across New Zealand with some friends and it was amazing! I’m a firm advocate for the benefits of travel. I love experiencing the sights and sounds I’ve read about in travel mags my whole life and I believe that there’s no better way to learn about the diverse cultural backgrounds and histories of the people who make up our globalised world. Which brings me back to New Zealand – in between soaking in the beautiful landscapes, hearing from locals about the rich history of the country and bypassing a multitude of sheep, I also learned some valuable life lessons
