  1. Hey! I actually LOVE LOVE LOVE travel days. Especially on trains. And although I have never been on any of these awesome train journeys, I would love to. They look so fancy-pants. One train journey I would add to that is the trans-siberian. Not a fancy ride- but an unbelievably beautiful one!

    Also, we love riding in trains in SEA- in 3rd class. Something about traveling like a local makes things more fun and entertaining. You never know what’s going to happen next in South East Asia!

    Great article!

    • Thanks K.T! I thinks also the road itself and the view counts more than anything :)) Have fun in SEA!!
