I have recently recommended this ode to train travel – this site is the perfect complement to it. A directory of night train lines all across the globe, with beautiful maps illustrating them.

An ode to train travel in the age of flight shame – and a reminder: Going by train should not be seen as a compromise or sacrifice, but as a genuinely rewarding experience in its own right. It ends with a call to train operators, employers and governments to make train travel even more attractive and accessible.

This never gets old. Fittingly, perhaps, this edition is themed “A starter kit for escaping into the world.”

A wonderful project by the NYT Magazine: New Yorkers share their favourite places to go far a walk.
