What keeps you sane on the road?

I travel with my friend and tour manager, Annie, and we love crime podcasts such as
Serial. There’s a Canadian one we enjoy called All Killa No Filla. Apparently we have
a higher number of victims of serial killers in Canada than the US. Listening to these
podcasts keeps you awake at night. Annie also buys olives and keeps red wine in
the glovebox so that’s fun too.

What have you ever taken from a hotel room?

Nothing. I’m more likely to leave things in them. I lose earrings, bracelets… I once
left my purse in a hotel in Glasgow. Thankfully they posted it back to me. I usually do
get everything back. I basically use hotels as free storage.
