He's been back living in New Zealand for a few years now, but Jack previously spent five years living in New York as 1 News' US correspondent. Is living in the city that never sleeps really as exciting as we imagine it would be? And, how magical is it at Christmas? Jack has all the answers.

We also talk about Jack's incredible travels - he's only 32 but he's already been to all seven continents - and the places he's yet to discover.

Plus, as we round up our final episode for the year, we've got the lowdown on all the places you should be putting on your travel wish-list for 2020.

Each episode, Trip Notes hosts Stephanie Holmes and Tim Roxborogh are joined by a special guest to talk all about travel. On this episode, brought to you by House of Travel, we chat with TV host Hayley Sproull.

When she’s not busy hosting multiple primetime television shows like Great Kiwi Bake Off and Have You Been Paying Attention, Hayley Sproull has spent two decades performing with Lochiel, the most successful marching team in New Zealand history.

The sport has taken her all around the world and let her perform on some of the biggest stages, including at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and for the Omani military.

Hayley tells us about the worldwide travel opportunities marching has brought, as well as her memories from her favourite destinations around the world.

We also talk about the frustrations of lost luggage, as well as our top tips for things to see and do in Queensland.

Each episode, Trip Notes hosts Stephanie Holmes and Tim Roxborogh are joined by a special guest to talk all about travel. On this episode, brought to you by House of Travel, we chat with The Hits Breakfast host Toni Street.

With three young children and the demands of a job that sees her up at 4am every morning, Toni knows the power of a holiday. And after a well-documented battle with a life-threatening auto-immune disease, she knows better than most the importance of recharging the batteries.

She talks to us about her favourite chilled-out beach holidays, with destinations including Fiji, the Sunshine Coast and Hawaii, our destination of the week.

Each episode, Trip Notes hosts Stephanie Holmes and Tim Roxborogh are joined by a special guest to talk all about travel. On this episode, brought to you by House of Travel, we chat with Gareth Stewart.

As executive chef for the Nourish Group, British expat Gareth Stewart knows a thing or two about food. So there was no better candidate to be our guest on a special food-themed episode.

Stewart has most recently created the excellent menu for Nourish’s new gastropub venture The Brit, but when he’s not busy there — or at one of the group’s other 12 restaurants (Euro, Andiamo, Jervois Steak House and more) — he is also an avid traveller. And he has a theory about why some of our favourite travel memories involve food.

He also tells us how to beat food FOMO when travelling (trust us, it's a real problem), and we talk about the best things to see - and eat - in England.
