Welcome back to the Quiet Coach, where we dive into Erin Richards' travel essentials and the moments that have shaped her as a traveler. From chocolate obsessions to meditation retreats, this is where we get into the details.

Erin's always got dark chocolate in her bag, usually around 90% cocoa, and she's got her top three brands ranked like a proper connoisseur. She's more of a podcast person than music, currently obsessed with something called the Telepathy Tapes, and her travel hack is beautifully cheeky: order hot water for free at coffee shops and add your own herbal tea bags. Thailand and Hawaii both changed her profoundly through meditation retreats, teaching her she had all the tools she needed within herself.

During COVID she saw Michelangelo's David in Florence with only three people in the room, though she admits she completely ruined the romantic moment with her husband. She's learned she's a brilliant traveler who's finally stopped running through airports, a small victory she credits to her husband's influence, and unpacking immediately to make any space feel like home is essential when you're constantly on the move.
