Traveling by train Trans-Siberian It is one of the experiences that many people dream of. But for me, it is not just about traveling from point A to point B, it is about finding new feelings. that I've never experienced before

I made an appointment with a friend in Novosibirsk. A large city in the middle of Siberia So I took the opportunity to try riding this train once. “Wouldn't it be a good idea to take a ride on the Trans-Siberian Railway sometime?” Even if it's just for a short period of time, it's still good. As long as you can really experience it

My journey started from Irkutsk to Novosibirsk. (Novosibirsk), the largest city in Western Siberia. Although this route is not as long as crossing the continent, But it was enough to make me experience the charm of traveling on this train. It feels very unique, but 30 hours is no joke!!

Thick snow, beautiful route, train more comfortable than expected

Many people think that the coldness of Siberia can make long journeys difficult. How uncomfortable is it on the train? But when I really tried to sit down, Everything was better than expected. This train line is cleaner and more comfortable than expected


When walking into the train. You will find a warm atmosphere. The bed is clean. Soft and comfortable sheets, drinking water and hot water provided all along the route.

I did not use the food sold on the bus. because they had bread and drink to give There is a hot water station to replenish at all times. That is, if I'm still hungry, I have instant noodles and snacks, which are enough. For short trips

Among the thick snow blowing in the wind outside The only sound in the train was the rustling of steel rails. with tranquility Which makes falling asleep very special. It feels like the outside world has stopped moving. But our bodies and minds are freed from all the chaos. Until I don't want to wake up at all

Sleep comfortably for a long time amidst beautiful nature

In the beginning, there weren't many passengers at the beginning of the station. But along the way There will be additional ticket sales. More and more people are becoming roommates. Until the bed is full The atmosphere was also good in another way. Everyone was different. They packed their bags and separated their blankets. They didn't disturb each other, but they did greet each other from time to time. Create a friendly atmosphere with nothing to worry about. The Russians who came were friendly and felt like fellow travelers we were traveling with


Every time the train stopped at a small station on the route, all we could see were fields of white snow and picturesque trees. It was like everything in the world stopped. So that we can spend time with ourselves. As the train continued to move quietly Sometimes I have work stuck in my notebook. I won't pick it up and open it at all. But try not to disturb your roommates too much


Sleeping on a train is a unique experience. But very impressive The sound of the train shaking softly Mixed with the scenery along the road that gradually changes, including fields of white snow and strange-looking houses that are rarely seen. It's like you're watching a documentary about your own adventures, both fun and peaceful. And it's like recharging your batteries for life at full power

This path doesn't just take us anywhere. But taking us to experience a journey in a way that we have never had before

Iron rails entangled in snow. Clean, comfortable trains, and lots of fun from kind Russian fellow passengers. It seems like the journey doesn't have to be rushed. Even if it's just for a short period of time But it was an experience that really made me feel "worth it"
