Summary
In this episode of the SheerLuxe podcast, Polly Sayer is joined by two incredibly stylish and travel-savvy guests: Harriet Stewart, a stylist and creative consultant, and Melinda Stevens, founder of the creative agency Saltlick and former editor-in-chief of Condé Nast Traveller. Together, they discuss the joys of road trips, spontaneity, and the unique experiences that come with travelling and how Volkswagen's all-electric ID range can play a part in this. Harriet shares her love for road trips, particularly in France, while Melinda reminisces about her memorable journeys across the diverse landscapes of America, and the three chat about finding the balance between planning and spontaneity in travel. They also discuss the dynamics of travelling with children, mentioning the adaptability of kids and the often humorous challenges that arise during road trips, as well as the importance of enjoying the journey itself, from discovering hidden gems along the way to the deeper conversations that can happen in the car. Polly chats about the upcoming SheerLuxe road trip in Volkswagen's electric ID range, and the trio wrap up the episode with quickfire questions about their travel habits, from their favourite snacks to their dream road trip companions...
