Australian venture capitalist Mark Carnegie is better placed than most to discuss travel in the pandemic age. For a start, he was stuck in New Zealand for months in his $5.6 million home on the northern tip of the south island when the virus broke out and borders closed.

After finally escaping NZ, he simply kept travelling over the past year and a bit – including to Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, and a number of African countries for the charity Time + Tide Foundation (in which he’s heavily involved), including Namibia, Zambia, and Madagascar.
