🌿 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 😅

🚆 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.

🚆 IT’S LIVE! 🚆

🎥 Our Luxury Trains Around the World – Season 1 finale is officially out now — and this one feels huge.

I took America’s most scenic luxury train, Canyon Spirit, through the heart of the American Southwest… and honestly, I’m still not over the landscapes, the food, the slow pace, or how cinematic this whole journey felt. (Oh and I brought Ludvig along too...hehe)

This episode is a proper milestone for us and the perfect way to close out the season 💛
Would LOVE to know what you think — and which luxury train you want us to tackle next 👀🚆

We just shared a Patreon-only video where we properly talk through our 2026 plans — including four different series we’re posting and a few specific episodes we’re really excited about 👀 Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! SO EXCITED.

We didn’t want to spill all of that here, but wanted to let you know it’s live for anyone who enjoys seeing the why and what’s coming ahead of time 🤍

While we’re waiting for the final Luxury Trains Around the World episode (Canyon Spirit 👀🚆 — not far away now!) I’ve been thinking ahead…

I’m still honestly amazed at how much you loved The Three of Us series last year 🥹
Would you like me to do another one with my parents?

(Yes, I’m very organised and already planning years ahead… blame living in New Zealand 😅)

If YES — where should we go? Let us know in the comments below 👇

🚆✨ IT’S LIVE ✨🚆

The Luxury Trains Around the World – Season One feature film is officially up on YouTube.

This one’s a little different to the individual episodes — it’s a big, fun, cinematic compilation that ties the whole season together: Vietnam, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S… all in one place.

Think: favourite moments, beautiful rail journeys, lots of laughs, lots of food, and a gentle reminder that trains are way more than just a way to get from A to B.

If you’ve watched the series already, this is a cosy way to relive it.
If you’re new — welcome aboard 🚆💛

Episode 5 (Canyon Spirit) coming soon 👀

🚆 A little series update…

We’re still waiting on final approvals for Episode 5 of Luxury Trains Around the World (our brand-new Canyon Spirit journey through the American Southwest 🇺🇸🏜️).

Because it’s a hosted episode, it has to go through a few final checks before we can post — and it’s taking a little longer than expected (the joys of brand life 😅).

Rather than leave a big gap in the series, we’re posting something special in the meantime over the next few days...

🎬 A full Season One feature film
A big, cosy, cinematic compilation of all the trains we’ve taken so far — Vietnam, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand — plus a little sneak peek of what’s coming next.

Think of it as:
a comfy “sit back and binge” episode while we wait for the finale to be ready.

The Canyon Spirit episode will still be coming as soon as it’s approved — this just keeps the Luxury Trains journey rolling in the meantime 🚆💛

Thank you so much for being patient with us — and for being the kind of audience that actually cares about slow, beautiful, weird little train adventures.

Thanks guys!

✨ Happy New Year! ✨

We’ve had lots of new subscribers join us lately — so hello, welcome, and consider yourselves new travel friends 🧡
We thought it might be a nice time to get to know each other a little better.

A few things about me (Chloé)

• I’m from New Zealand 🇳🇿 — but because I’ve lived in France, Sweden, America, Canada, and England (and travelled all over in between), my accent is… a little all over the place. I’ve noticed the longer I’m back living in NZ, the more Kiwi I’m starting to sound again
• I’m actually quite socially anxious — solo travel is how I work through it
• I’ve always loved performing arts (acting, singing, dancing), so being on camera feels very natural to me
• I’m very much the planner in this relationship 😅
• I love structure, research, and mapping things out — I really don’t like the unknown
• I’ve always loved the getting there part — flights, trains, movement — sometimes even more than the destination itself
• I don’t really have a single “dream destination” — my list would be far too long
• As for a dream train… obviously the Orient Express… or Rovos Rail… or the Royal Scotsman… or the Britannic Explorer… or the Maharajas’ Express… and this is exactly why I don’t try to pick just one 🙃

A few things about Ludvig (aka “sometimes Ludvig”)

• He’s Swedish 🇸🇪 (but sounds kind of North American because he lived in Canada for a while)
• He loves metal music 🤘
• Being on camera didn’t come naturally — it took him a long time to warm up, and he’s still not totally comfortable (but he’s getting there). That’s actually one of the reasons this channel is called Chloé and Sometimes Ludvig
• He’s weirdly good at things like mini golf, darts, axe throwing… basically any random activity — he almost always wins
• His dream destination is Antarctica… or possibly space 🚀
• He’s a roofer by trade and genuinely loves his day job
• He’s going to be a bit more flexible with his work hours this year, so you might see him pop up a little more often (yay!)
• He’s just as deadpan at home as he is on screen — and somehow makes me laugh every single day

A little about us (together)

• We got married almost two years ago, but we’ve been together for around eight
• We met while working at a ski resort in Canada ❄️
• We don’t really chase ticking off as many countries as possible. Instead, we love finding curated, epic journeys and meaningful experiences
• We’re very happy going back to the same country again and again if there’s more to explore — and we think that’s totally okay
• We live in New Zealand now — and we absolutely love it. It really feels like our forever place
• Ludvig is the cook, I’m the cleaner — this system works very well 😅
• We have two cats, Maja and Findus 🐾
• We genuinely love being home in between trips. Travelling so intensely has actually made home feel even more special and grounding when we’re back

How this all started

I’ve been travelling since I was about 20 — backpacking, doing seasonal jobs, moving around, figuring things out — and for a long time I was trying to work out how to make that way of life sustainable. I knew travel was what I loved most, and I wanted to find a way to keep doing it long-term.

Around that time, I started watching creators like Kara and Nate, doing their thing, telling stories, and building a life around travel — and I remember thinking, hey… I could do this too.

A little about our video style

Our videos aren’t really meant to be reviews or traditional travel vlogs. We want them to feel more like a story or film — something cosy, immersive, and slow that you can tuck into… and maybe come away thinking, “I’d love to experience something like that too.”

Somehow, without really planning it, we’ve fallen into movement-based journeys — trains, boats, long routes, the in-between moments. I’ve always loved the journey itself, and that feeling has naturally become the heart of this channel.

I’m also, genuinely, a very optimistic person. I look for the good in things, and it’s actually quite rare for me to critique something unless I truly notice it — and if I do, I’ll say it. That positivity you see is very real and very me.

There are already so many amazing destination-based channels on YouTube — you don’t really need more of those. What we love most is movement, stories, and the feeling that sometimes the journey itself is everything you need.

It’s really nice getting to know each other a little more 🧡
If you’d like to go a bit deeper, we also have a Patreon where we’ll be sharing lots of behind-the-scenes and extra content in 2026.

Now we’d love to hear from you —
How did you find the channel, and where in the world are you watching from?

🚂🏔️ Okay… I think this might be the most scenic train journey of my LIFE.
Not even kidding rn.

SURPRISE!!!! This is the finale of Luxury Trains Around the World, and we travelled on the brand new Canyon Spirit route from Denver to Salt Lake City — and I genuinely spent most of the journey staring out the window in silence like 😶➡️🥲

Huge canyons, snowy mountains, unreal views, beautiful food, and that slow, calm train rhythm that makes time feel… different. It felt big, peaceful, and honestly a little emotional. And also slightly shocked that this is my real life job.

🎥 The full episode goes live soon!
Hosted by Canyon Spirit Railway

Would you do a train journey like this… or would you get emotional halfway through like me?
