If I’m going on a cross country trip in another country it would be Finland and I would travel by train. I’ve been travelling by tourist bus along the Torne River Valley region bordering in Lapland county of Finland and in Norrbotten county of Sweden. I’m of Finnish and Kven roots and these ancestors lived mostly in Finland and Sweden before migrating to Northern Norway in especially 1700s to 1800s. I also have roots further South in Finland like Oulu, Kajaani, Rautalampi and Vyborg (last one which is currently in Russian territory). But Finland actually has real railroads and trains across the country unlike Norway where all the railroads stop in Nordland county. And I also enjoy Finnish language and culture independent of my ancestry and genetics.

And of course visiting Helsinki would also be great and to say to others some Finnish phrases.

Love from Northern regions tonight ❤

I’m partly of Romani and Reisende origins from mostly coastal areas in far-Southern and Southwest Norwegian. Life spent travelling by boats and on the road. So I missed the boats in the choices, but the train is easier to use with getting nausea.

But as I said in previous post the State in Norway refused to ever build the railroads and of course the trains following. There is actually no Railway in entire Troms county and even entire Finnmark county; the size of Denmark and we need this way of transportation even more than some politicians pretend to be stupid about.

I may update on this post later on. Thank you all for visiting and I love to travel plus Norway is so beautiful at the right moments and close to nature our entire country is awesome and impressive, profound really. And trains are the best according to my own experiences in Sweden and Southern parts of Norway ❤

and I care about the Reisende peoples human rights, lots of discrimination and abusive treatments from State and other officials. Just to be crystal clear ❤

have a wonderful evening ❤ ❤ ❤

I enjoy travelling by train and I’ve been further south where they have trains and railways. But our Norwegian State do not care to pay for train further North and this honestly is f*ckd up to say it like a Northern woman speaking in a type of Norwenglish. They don’t give us this despite our much greater need for it due to our location and distances being significantly longer between the towns. This is one of the many reasons I’m strongly left-leaning and against the concept of centralised government far from the districts.

but yeah, I truly love travelling by train ❤
