The Sunday Round-Up | February 14, 2021


Happy Valentines Day! My wife really went all out this morning with red and white decorations, homemade cards, cookies and heart-shaped waffles. I'm a lucky man!

There are lots of travel news stories to catch up on and they can all be found in this travel news round-up, including information about how Auckland went into lockdown after recording three (3) positive COVID tests. In Los Angeles yesterday, we recorded 3,254 cases. Amazing to see the difference. You can learn about it firsthand, as I interviewed two of my friends who are living in New Zealand. One has been there for several years and the other just packed up and moved in June. You can watch or listen to the interviews here.
 
P.S. As always, thank you for subscribing to my newsletter! I hope you like it and you share with your friends, family and colleagues so they can subscribe to either my bi-weekly newsletter or Daily Travel Tip.
