Show Notes
In this episode of The Quiet Coach on Routes from LNER, Jenni sits down with presenter, photographer and all-round adventurer Penny Lancaster for a relaxed chat about all things travel, rest and those little rituals that make journeys special. From her love of peace and quiet on board (no phone calls please!) to how she truly unwinds when she’s away from home, Penny shares what travel looks like when she’s off the clock – think massages, saunas and slow swims with no time pressures. She also takes us to one of her favourite places in the world: Tanzania. Penny paints a picture of dawn safaris with picnic breakfasts, breathtaking wildlife moments and the dream of seeing it all again from a hot air balloon. We hear about the family’s must-pack snacks (British tea and Cadbury’s are non-negotiable), the soundtrack to her getaways, and the simple hacks she swears by – like packing cubes, hanging bags and how to beat jet lag. It’s a conversation full of warmth, great tips and travel inspiration, with plenty of laughs along the way.
