Something magical takes place behind car doors… Maybe it’s because of the inherent lack of eye contact that allows people to open up without feeling awkward...

Whatever the reason, some of my favourite conversations have taken place in car journeys. I’ve found it’s the one environment where people are their most candid, honest and reveal the most about their fears, desires and character. From cab drivers, my family, acquaintances to my closest friends, the car journey is where I’ve often learned the most about them and the most from them.
