Developments in travel are following each other up at a rapid pace. Everything has to be more sustainable and better for the environment. Train travel is often mentioned as a good and better alternative to flying.

On our most recent trip to Lapland we traveled to Rovaniemi and direct flights only start from the end of October. So the only way to get to Lapland outside of the winter season is via Helsinki. This can be done by taking a connection flights in Helsinki or by taking the overnight train from Helsinki to Rovaniemi.

There’s always this dilemma of how to travel around Thailand. Do I take the train, bus or even a flight. This time I wanted to travel to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and although flying was cheaper and faster I decided to take on the adventure and book a train from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur.

It was a little more complicated and expensive but the adventure was worth it. Read all about my experiences in my blog below about my overland travel experience in Thailand.
