Clara welcomes back TikTok sensation and fashion influencer Victor Kunda for a soulful chat filled with sun, sea and sweet treats. From jumping into the ocean for the first time in Croatia to dancing at sunset on a yacht to Tame Impala, Victor shares how travel transforms him and why water, in all its moods, keeps him grounded. We also hear about his secret stash of Nigerian sweets, his aversion to decanting skincare, and the one travel hack that genuinely floored Clara. If you’ve ever debated hand luggage versus giant suitcases, you’ll feel right at home in this playful back-and-forth. And as the first season of Routes from LNER comes to a close, Clara has arrived at her final stop...but who's that entering the carriage? Trust us, it’s a journey and a new host worth tuning in for, Season 2 awaits - coming soon!
