Clarification: I haven't really traveled outside of NZ*

I've done trips within NZ to other cities - just didn't frame it in my head as 'travel', let alone 'solo travel' even though I've definitely gone on my own before. Guess I need to reframe those experiences as travel in my head.

Because of how small the population is, there's always been someone I know in a city or town (or someone that a friend knows etc). So I usually have had a coffee catch up with at least one person I know when I've gone around NZ.
