Exploring the World – One Train Ride at a Time

20/11/2023 23/12/2023 Paula

Welcome to my travel blog! If you have a penchant for wanderlust and a soft spot for all things retro, you’ve come to the right place.

I specialise in a mode of transportation that’s often overlooked but holds a special place in my heart, that is, trains. There’s something inherently romantic about the rhythmic clacking of wheels on the tracks, and the ever-changing scenery outside the window – and sometimes even in the camaraderie you might find in the dining car. I’ve made it my mission to explore the world one train ride at a time and share my adventures with you.

Published in Finnish and UK Media

My passion for travel and writing has taken me on quite the journey. My articles have been published in both Finnish and UK media, as I love to capture the essence of my travel experiences through words.

A Love for All Things Retro

While I adore the thrill of modern travel, my heart truly belongs to the past. Apart from exploring the wide world, I love rummaging through vintage shops, unearthing hidden treasures from bygone eras – as well as sipping espressos in cosy cafes with a hint of nostalgia in their decor.

Books and Cosy Nooks

When I’m not on the move, you’ll likely find me nestled in a cosy nook with a good book in hand. I have a deep appreciation for literature, and I believe that every destination has a story to tell. Whether it’s a classic novel set in the heart of London or a local author’s masterpiece from a remote village, I’m always on the hunt for literary gems that transport me to new worlds.

Join Me on This Journey

I created this blog to inspire and inform fellow travellers who share my passion for train adventures, vintage charm, and the simple pleasures of life. Whether you’re planning your next railway escapade, searching for the best retro finds, or looking for that perfect book to accompany your travels, I’m here to be your guide.

Bon voyage!
