💛 TRAIN SNACKS NEWSLETTER → https://mailchi.mp/25e3e496c267/train... 🚂 ALL ABOARD the Coastal Pacific! One of New Zealand’s most scenic train journeys - and this time, Ludvig’s back too 😎 Join us as we ride the Coastal Pacific train from Christchurch to Picton with Great Journeys New Zealand, hugging the dramatic east coast of the South Island. Think: endless blue ocean, snow-capped mountains, vineyard valleys, and even a cheeky dolphin or two 🐬 🎥 What you’ll see in this video: • A full review of the Coastal Pacific rail experience • Highlights of the Kaikōura coastline and Canterbury Plains • Fancy train food we were not expecting 🧀🍷 • Kiwi hospitality at its finest 🇳🇿 • Ludvig entering a food coma mid-lunch 😂 From the comfort of your seat, you’ll witness some of New Zealand’s most iconic scenery, learn a bit about the region’s rich history and Māori culture, and hopefully fall just a little more in love with Aotearoa. This is part one of our two-part scenic train adventure through the South Island — next up, the legendary TranzAlpine! 💬 Planning your own NZ rail trip?

I’m Chloé — a Kiwi travel creator exploring the world one awkward train nap 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.💛 Some links are affiliate, which means we might earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). It helps keep the adventures going — and pays for coffee when the train café runs out of it. And honestly? Every time you use one, it triggers a little happy dance on my end. 🕺 So thank you!
