We all know the joy of travelling doesn t start the minute you leave the house and end when you get home. There is the anticipation in the days or weeks or months leading up to the trip. Then, obviously there s the trip. Once it s over, you have the rest of your life to look back on the memories you made driving across California with your best friend, weaving through the tangled markets of Mexico City, or eating gelato on the Spanish Steps in Rome.

I m a journalist and author who has lived in Rome for 10 years, but flew out when the Italian lockdown began in March 2020 (arriving before Australia s hotel quarantine program began). It broke my heart but I knew I d made the right decision. Looming global uncertainty made being with family in Australia my only priority.
I packed for my mercy flight in an hour and, months later, I still worried about milk I d thought was left in the fridge. Nowadays we talk knowingly about lockdowns, flattening the curve , quarantine and isolation. But Italy was the first Western nation to shut down. And in the dead of the night on the way to the airport I didn t even know what that meant.
