Show Notes
Welcome back to The Quiet Coach, where Siân Welby shares what happens when she’s on the move. From spotting familiar faces on Hollywood boulevards to navigating jet-lagged mornings, Sian talks about how she keeps travel manageable, with Pringles and a stash of Haribo at the ready, a few podcasts queued up for long train journeys, and by finding the perfect seat. She opens up about her favourite travel hacks, from taking a multi-plug extension lead on holiday to keeping a baby entertained with simple tricks like masking tape. Siân also shares how she finds quiet moments on busy trains, enjoys watching the countryside roll by, and makes the most of every journey, whether it is a brief escape or a rare moment of calm. LA left its mark, inspiring her to dream big and reminding her how small details, like a street she has walked past or a billboard she spots, can make travel feel surprising, fun, and sometimes a little magical.
