Since I was a child, I was always fascinated with train journeys. Hearing the clickety-clackety sounds the train wheels make while passing the metal tracks made me sleep good for some weird reason. There is nothing like seeing the country side from inside the comfort of sitting in the train. (more…)
Bike riding is one of my favorite activities in my life. Wherever I travel I try to find opportunities to hike and bike. It is the best way to discover a new place. It provides a great opportunity to connect with nature and people. (more…)
