Show Notes
Jim Chapman joins Jenni on this Quiet Coach episode of Routes from LNER to share the snacks, tracks and hacks that get him through a travel day.
Expect an honest confession about crisps and cheating on the diet, a playlist built entirely around music that hurts a little, and a podcast habit that swings between true crime and dinosaurs. There’s a firm commitment to packing light, a clever click and collect hack for parents, and a relaxed, unflappable approach to family travel that comes down to one question: where’s the fire?
Jim also opens up about why travel days are the one time he never switches off, the special place that holds a lot of meaning for him, and the far-flung destination that makes him feel wonderfully small. It’s a funny, thoughtful chat about travelling light, in every sense.
