One year on

Today marks a year since I set off on the first of my six Interrail adventures in 2023. I’ve been looking back at the posts I added at the time, and at the many photos and videos that didn’t make it onto the diary.

Digital nomad? Not exactly, but I’m working on it!

I thought it might be interesting to reflect on a side of this year’s travels that I’ve only touched on in my diary so far, working from a different place every day.
