Joanne: How was your trip?
Ginny: It was quite busy on the plane and I nearly missed my connection in San Francisco. But otherwise, I didn’t have any real difficulties.
Joanne: Have you had problems with a flight before?
Ginny: Oh yeah. Once I was stuck in the airport in Singapore for almost a whole day because there were problems with the flight. But it’s a fantastic airport and there’s so much to do that it was actually a really good time.

Joanne: Is this your first trip to New Zealand?
Ginny: No. I came here with my family on holiday a long time ago. I see there’s been a lot of expansion in Auckland since then, but it’s still a really beautiful place.
Joanne: What did you see when you were with your family?
Ginny: We went on a road trip down the North Island from Auckland to Wellington. It was wonderful. We spent a lot of time camping and on the beach.

Joanne: What do you do when you’re not working?
Ginny: I do a lot of running. I’m actually in training for an ultramarathon next year.
Joanne: How long have you been training for the ultramarathon?
Ginny: I did a marathon just over a year ago and really enjoyed it. About two months later, I read about ultramarathons and decided to see if I could push myself to go further.
