It’s only a four hour flight

Invited professional piece for Capital Magazine who ran a series call Home & Away essays in 2021. They invited four different New Zealand writers who had been living overseas during the COVID-19 pandemic, who were able to return home to Wellington, New Zealand for a short time to write about their experiences. The piece I submitted was called "It's only a four hour flight" and detailed my experience of moving to the Sunshine Coast of Australia in early 2020 and only getting home to New Zealand to see family sixteen months later.
