Each fortnight, 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 Intrepid Travel, we chat to Clarke Gayford.He's now often referred to as New Zealand's First Man, but Clarke Gayford has a long history of working in travel - he hosted TV series Getaway, he finished in the top 10 of Tourism Queensland's viral competition to win the Best Job in the World, and now hosts Fish of the Day - a travel, fishing and cooking show that takes him all around New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.Clarke talks about his childhood memories of growing up in Gisborne and how it inspired his wanderlust, he tells us why he loves places like Niue and Vanuatu, and we discover he and Tim once spent time at the same Club Med resort... possibly at the same time.As well as a busy TV presenter, Clarke is also father to an almost one-year-old daughter, Neve. He and his fiance, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, split their time between Auckland and Wellington and, as a frequent flyer, he has some great tips for plane travel with babies.And our Destination of the Week is the Solomon Islands, a place yet to be discovered by most tourists but somewhere Clarke believes is a South Pacific paradise ready and waiting for those looking for adventure.For more travel inspiration go to https://www.nzherald.co.nz/tripnotes and, when you're ready for your own adventure, go to https://www.intrepidtravel.com.
