Daniel Faitaua, over-tourism and why we love New Zealand

Each fortnight, Trip Notes hosts Stephanie Holmes and Tim Roxborogh are joined by a special guest to talk all about travel. For our very first episode, brought to you by Intrepid Travel, TVNZ Breakfast newsreader Daniel Faitaua is with us in the studio.

Daniel tells us more about his former life as an Air New Zealand flight attendant - what he enjoyed about it, and why he gave it up. He reveals the highs and lows of his travelling life so far - his first overseas trip as a wide-eyed 16-year-old, his favourite family holidays, and the dream destinations still on his list.

We also talk about one of the biggest problems facing the global travel industry right now - over-tourism. What is it, which places are affected by it, and what can we do to prevent it?

Each episode, we'll pick a Destination of the Week and where better to start than with New Zealand? We talk about why we love it, some of our favourite spots around the country, and why there's no place like home.
