But when New Zealand’s borders slammed shut in March 2020, and my travel options shrank to the limits of the country, I made the leap — after many white-knuckled driving lessons. Having my own campervan gave me a new sense of freedom and impetus to explore my own country. And I now believe New Zealand is truly best seen by campervan. The scenery is gorgeous, the campsites are plentiful, the weather is mostly mild, and the country is relatively compact....

In my dreams, I would have woken up today and seen Salma Hayek post a long explanation of whether or not Alec Baldwin ever asked her out, and how soon after that he first met Hilaria Baldwin.

In a previous dual interview with Vogue Mexico, Pinault noted that some of her favorite artists are Lana Del Rey, and Fleetwood Mac, and surprisingly enough, her favorite rapper is Kanye West....
