Around the World in 80 Trains

The idea of covering 45,000 miles on trains feels both romantic and daunting. I wonder what led the author to pursue this specific mode of travel and how it shaped her experiences.

The detailed descriptions of landscapes and train journeys made me crave a similar adventure. Has this book motivated others to consider train travel for their own trips?

The book balances detailed planning with spontaneous moments. I’m curious whether the author prepared every detail or embraced surprises along the way.
