Notes from the road, one compass at a time

The long way is usually better

Slow trains, cheap rooms and honest notes from traveling alone: what it cost, what to skip, and what I would take again.

Hi, I’m Nora - one bag, paper maps and no fixed route

I write about slow solo travel: the trains I take, the rooms I book, the captions I invent at bus stops and the costs nobody puts in an itinerary. Everything here comes from trips I paid for myself.
