Dessa veckor på resande fot är något jag kommer bära med mig inombords en lång lång tid. Jag lämnade verkligen allt grubbel kring jobb, relationer, ekonomi och hemmet i Berlin, i samma stund som vi klev av planet i Moskva klev vi också in i ett parallellt universum där de enda två saker som betydde något var 1: Här, och 2: Nu.
För en gångs skull kände jag att varje ny upplevelse kunde få min odelade uppmärksamhet, läsa varje rysk skylt för att till slut kunna memorera nästan hela alfabetet, upptäcka de mongoliska stäpperna till häst, springa av tåget och tillbaka under de korta stoppen för att hinna köpa märkliga piroger av babuchkorna, bonda över vår Haruki Murakami-bok med Japanen som delade vår kupé, gå vilse bland hutongerna i Peking, vaggas till sömns av de upprepande dunsarna från rälsen och vakna upp på en helt ny plats.
De kommande veckorna tänkte jag ta er med på vår resa från Moskva, till Irkutsk, Bajkalsjön, Ulan Bator och Peking med den Transmongoliska järnvägen i en serie inlägg. Om det är något speciellt ni skulle vilja att jag skrev om eller några frågor ni vill att jag svarar på är det bara att hojta, så fixar jag det. KRAM!
I will carry these last few weeks within me for a long long time. I really left all the thoughts about my job, relationships, economy and household work in Berlin, the moment we left the plane in Moscow we also entered a parallel universe where the only two things that mattered was 1: Here and 2: Now.
For once, I felt that every new experience could get my undivided attention, to read every Russian sign to finally memorize almost the entire alphabet, discover the Mongolian steppes by horse, run from the train and back during the short stops to buy strange pirogis of the babuschkas, getting lost in the hutongs in Beijing, falling asleep by the repeated bounces from the rails and waking up in a whole new place.
In the coming weeks, I’m planning on taking you guys with me on our journey from Moscow to Irkutsk, Lake Baikal, Ulan Bator and Beijing with the Transmongolian Railroad in a series of posts. If there’s something special you would like me to write about or any questions you want me to answer, just let me know. HUGS!

Dear Ebba,
I can’t wait to find out more about your amazing journey! I would love it if also you wrote a bit about the items you packed for such a long trip, how much it approximately costs, what to save on and what to splurge on, whether you planned everything in advance or just made decisions on the spot, how does the trip looks like with regard to food, personal hygiene, privacy, safety, etc. or anything else you found interesting
Aw, thank you so much! I’ll answer all of this in my coming posts! <3
Nydelige bilder!
Danke!!
How was the language barrier? What was the hardest part of the trip? How much planning did you do beforehand?
Will make sure to answer these <3
This looks so surreal! I can’t wait to see the upcoming posts and hear about all your experiences!
