Below Deck Aesha's homecoming 'BEING A KIWI IS THE BEST!

She's spent years sailing the high seas, balancing her demanding job on superyachts with partying with some of the planet's richest people.

But while the allure of gorgeous places such as the Mediterranean and tropical Australia will always be a temptation, it's no longer enough for Kiwi Below Deck star Aesha Scott, who says Aotearoa is calling her and her US-based boyfriend Scott Dobson home.

"We're wanting to buy an apartment in Mount Maunganui at the end of the year, which is so exciting," the Tauranga-born star tells Woman's Day.

For Aesha, 31, who quickly became a fan favourite of Bravo's Below Deck franchise with her work ethic, sense of humour and wildly potty mouth, life is in a little bit of a transition stage right now, as she looks to the future with beau Scott, also 31, who's currently managing a bar in Colorado, but wants to take up professional speed flying when he gets home to New Zealand.

"I spent all my 20s yachting, and then all this amazing telly stuff happened, so I'm really living my absolute dream," she says. "It's really exciting, but it's also really easy to get caught up in that whirlwind. But now I'm in my 30s, and my siblings are buying houses and having kids and all that.

"I was in a different country or state every week for four months last year and I need a reset. I've really reflected on what my priorities are in life, and my number-one priority is my family. So that means spending a lot more time in New Zealand!"

But never fear Below Deck fans - Aesha still plans to be gracing our screens on the franchise for as long as she can. But she's determined to enter her 30s with a lot more balance - and perhaps a sparkly new diamond ring?!
