Stacey Morrison, Magic Mike strip shows, Russian billionaires, and the power of language

Each fortnight, Trip Notes hosts Stephanie Holmes and Tim Roxborogh are joined by a special guest to talk all about travel. On this episode, we talk to Stacey Morrison.

Stacey is quite possibly the busiest woman in New Zealand. Not only does she co-host The Hits Drive Show with Mike Puru, she’s also an ambassador for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, a best-selling author, a teacher at Massey University, and mum to three children.

And somehow, among all that, she still manages to fit in a healthy love of travel.

From her first overseas trip to Japan as a high school exchange student, to family holidays in Hawaii, to eye-opening trips to Russia, Stacey has loved — and learnt a lot — from seeing the world.

She talks to us about the resilience she needed on her first trip overseas, what makes her a "Macgyver mama", and why she thinks all New Zealanders have a voyager spirit within.

There's also talk of how she enjoyed a Magic Mike strip show in Las Vegas, but Stacey assures us it was only because of "the art"...

Once you've listened, please leave us a review and tell us some of your favourite destinations - we'd love to know where you're travelling, and where you're dreaming of.
