How it all began

The World’s Greatest Train

As I’m writing this (Oktober 2021), I am just back from the train journey of a lifetime. The Connecting Europe Express was one of the European Year of Rail’s most emblematic initiatives. Crossing 26
European countries in 36 days, this special one-time train was on a mission to inspire and connect Europeans everywhere. 40 railway partners worked hand in hand to make this project possible and to promote sustainable transport and travel. I wanted to be a part of this project from the moment I first heard about it, and I had the honour and the privilege to be on board for the first half of the journey. I started sharing about this journey on my Instagram account, and didn’t only post the landscapes I saw, but also shared my thoughts and experiences. This is when I realized how great is is to not only show artistic works, but share human stories or even (dramatic music)… a picture without blur!!!

Opening my Diary to the World…

Blogging is new to me, and most likely it’s my perfectionism that had stopped me from ever trying. That and the feeling that I might not have anything important to say. But I’ve practised sharing imperfect posts on my journey, I simply didn’t have the time to polish everything up. And I got such lovely feedback, and started deep conversations that mean so much to me. So now I’m curious how I’ll take to the blogging format, and looking forward to hearing your feedback. I’ll start by reworking my Instagram content into blogposts, for those amoung us that don’t feel at home in the Facebook empire…
When my current projects settle down a bit (Calendar, reworking the website, establishing print processes), I’ll start writing exclusive content for the blog. About railway history, the magic of travelling, about perception and the love of nature. I have enough ideas, and I’m happy to hear yours!
