Cathay Pacific flight attendant Lenni Liu is in the sky more than most top models, business moguls and even the Kardashians.
But the 34-year-old doesn’t waste time when she’s on the ground, using her layovers as a means of seeing more of the world’s most iconic sites.
‘I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to numerous places as a flight attendant. Some of my highlights have been Blausee in Switzerland, Toronto, Johannesburg and San Francisco,’ she told FEMAIL.

On Valentine’s Day she found herself in Switzerland staying in a lakeside cabin, for instance.
‘I remember sitting by the fire when it began to snow outside, which created one of the most beautiful and romantic views you can imagine,’ she explained.
In Canada’s city of Toronto she decided to get truly ‘adventurous’ and explore the local islands.

‘Machu Picchu is one of those historic picture-perfect places you need to visit,’ she said
‘I bought a waterproof backpack from duty-free, and rented a kayak and armed with my camera in my bag I paddled through the islands taking photos as I went,’ she said.
‘Another memory I won’t forget was once during a layover in San Francisco, a colleague and I drove about an hour out of the city to go pick cherries, peaches and plums. We ended up with about 20 kilos of cherries which we needed to share around.’
While it may seem as though so much time away from home would make it difficult to socialise, Lenni has never had a problem.

‘Funnily enough, becoming a flight attendant has actually improved my social life,’ she explained (pictured in Africa)
‘Funnily enough, becoming a flight attendant has actually improved my social life,’ she explained.
‘Being able to travel so easily and so far has allowed me to keep in touch with friends and family all around the world.
‘My two best friends live in New York and San Francisco, and because Cathay Pacific flies in and out of these destinations so regularly, we get to spend quality time together despite living in different countries.
‘Once I visited my friend in San Fran eight times in one year. It was the best.
‘I’ve also made great friends with my colleagues, especially during layovers. We often get to explore the cities we are in and get to know each other really well.’
