As a keen environmental blogger and geographer, I often refer to ways that can help reduce our carbon footprints. Having a love of travel means I have to confront this quite a lot.
As far as my research suggests, aeroplanes are by far the most polluting method of transport, mainly because they pump pollutants directly into the upper atmosphere where they can become trapped and rapidly contribute towards temperature change.
So I travel by train these days, as much as I possibly can. Sometimes I use buses and boats too. However I travel, it is never by air these days. My last flight was from Vegas in 2014.
Over time I am building up an audience for a little podcast which discusses issues and experiences related to travelling by train into Europe.
I would really appreciate you taking a moment to listen to a minute of my latest episode and follow on Spotify, to help get me started.

This week I talk about the incredible city of Lille, which is packed with things to do and home a to a northern French cuisine which is very satisfying.
I will leave you with both the Spotify and Apple podcast links:
