Louise O'Neill: 'I haven’t been on a flight since February 2020 and I am yearning for it'
In 2019, as if making up for lost time, I took not one, not two, but three holidays.
I used to travel a lot when I was younger. I spent the summer after my Leaving Cert in Spain, I did my J1 in the Hamptons, I took a road trip down the Big Sur in a rented convertible with my sister.
I volunteered at a Kolkata orphanage, took a train to Darjeeling, spent a weekend in Varanasi, sailed down the back waters of Kerala, imitated the famous Princess Diana photo in front of the Taj Mahal. I hiked to the Annapurna base camp in Nepal, I waited out a hurricane in Cuba, I crashed in a beach hut in Tulum, I got sunburnt in a Colombian jungle, I lost my passport in Machu Picchu, I lived off dulche de leche in Buenos Aires.
