Chloé and sometimes Ludvig

Hej hej from the rails! I’m Chloé — a Kiwi travel creator exploring the world one awkward train moment at a time. My husband Ludvig (dry humour, Swedish passport) joins when he can.

Together, we seek out the quirkiest journeys, comfiest cabins, and always squeeze in a touch of luxury when we can (okay, that part’s mostly my idea 😅). We’re all about making travel fun, relatable, and a little bit weird — with a side of scenic magic. 💛

From epic train rides and cruises to offbeat road trips and all sorts of unexpected detours in between, we love showing you what it’s really like to explore the world — the good, the awkward, and the occasionally sleep-deprived. Whether it’s a luxury rail journey, a ferry to somewhere random, or a rental car adventure through tiny towns, we’re here for the ride.

Tomorrow’s episode of Little Wild New Zealand might be one of the most magical ones yet.

Instead of just visiting Milford Sound during the day… we stayed overnight on a ship in the fjord.

Once the day boats leave, the whole place changes.

The water goes completely still.
The mountains disappear into mist.
And it suddenly feels very small and very wild out there.

Episode 3 — Milford Sound Overnight Cruise — goes live tomorrow.

I can’t wait for you to see this one. 🌿

🚙 It’s live.

Episode 2 of Little Wild New Zealand is officially out.

This time we’re living out of a tiny Suzuki Jimny with a rooftop tent… driving across the South Island with everything we own stuffed in the back.

No hotels.
No fixed plans.
Very limited personal space.

Just big landscapes, small car chaos, and one very stubborn tent in the wind.

This series means a lot to us — it’s slower, more intentional, and filmed entirely at home here in Aotearoa 🇳🇿

If you watched Episode 1 (Forgotten World Adventures), this one takes the energy somewhere completely different.

Hands up — who would actually try sleeping on the roof of a tiny car like this?! 🚙🌿

Tattoo day is happening this week.

This feels calm. Mature. Sensible... right?

100,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just hit 100K subscribers.

We are currently on the ski slopes in Japan and genuinely a bit emotional about this.

Thank you. For watching. For commenting. For travelling with us. For being here.

And yes… this means the tattoo is officially happening.

When we’re off the slopes tonight, we’ll post the FINAL poll with the top tattoo finalists for you to choose from.

Ludvig is pretending to be calm.

This is your last chance to influence permanent life decisions.

Back tonight 😅🚅

Okay. It’s happening.

We’re at 99,314 and this is escalating faster than we expected.

When we hit 100,000 subscribers, Ludvig is getting a tattoo chosen by you.

So here’s how this works:

Comment what he should get.

The 4–5 most liked suggestions will go into a final community poll when we hit 100K.

A few gentle rules:
– Travel or train themed
– Keep it PG, folks
– Please don’t make this weird

We trust you.
(We think.)

WE JUST HIT 99,034 😭🚅

We’re currently on a bullet train in Japan and just refreshed the subscriber count…

99,034.

Which means we’re 966 people away from 100K.

Our Patreon members recently suggested we do something slightly chaotic to celebrate when we hit 100K…

So here’s the situation.

When we hit 100K, Ludvig has agreed to get a tattoo chosen by you.

This feels like a decision we may regret.

Thoughts?

🌿 It’s finally starting. And the first episode is live.

This weekend marks the launch of a brand new series we’ve been quietly building, filming, and holding close for a long time — Little Wild New Zealand 🇳🇿

This isn’t just another travel series.
It’s about slow journeys, remote places, and the kind of experiences that make you feel very small in the best possible way.

And we’re starting with Forgotten World Adventures — riding self-powered rail carts deep into a part of New Zealand where the railway no longer officially exists.
No trains. No timetable. Just us, the track, and two days of being completely off-grid.

Over the coming weeks, this series will take us:
• Across abandoned railways
• Into tiny cars and rooftop tents
• Out to remote islands by land and sea
• Down rivers, along coastlines, and to the very edges of the map

We’re posting 3 carefully curated episodes per month — all filmed here at home, all chosen because they genuinely meant something to us.

🎬 Episode 1 is out now.
And honestly… we couldn’t be more excited to finally share this one with you.

Thank you for being here. 💛

Quick question for my fellow train lovers 🚆

Looking ahead to future seasons of Luxury Trains Around the World —
which luxury train would you be most excited to see?

It can be:
• something iconic
• something obscure
• something wildly expensive you just want to see through the screen 😅

Drop your dream train in the comments 👇

🚆 And just like that… Season 1 is DONE! 🚆

Luxury Trains Around the World has officially pulled into the station for now 🥹 What a ride. From Vietnam to the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA — this series has honestly been a dream to make.

Thank you for watching, commenting, sharing, and loving these train journeys as much as we do. Seeing your excitement for slow, scenic rail travel means everything 💛

Missed the grand finale? Our Canyon Spirit episode (and the final stop of Season 1!) is right here 👉 https://youtu.be/NJP6G5Ha73Q?si=yLPB7...

BUT don’t worry… we are far from finished 👀
We’ve already got some incredible trains lined up for Season 2 and trust me… they are NEXT. LEVEL. 🚆

Before that though — in February, a brand new series begins… and this one is extra special to me 🥹

We’re heading deep into New Zealand 🇳🇿
Yes… my own backyard!!! And I cannot WAIT to take you with us. Expect wild landscapes, unique experiences, beautiful journeys… and of course Ludvig (and maybe a few special guests too 👀).

Big adventures coming. New series energy. Same love for cinematic, story-driven travel.

See you in the next one 💛
