The world’s longest train journey is epic — but nobody's ever taken it
bigthink.com
Can you travel by rail from Portugal all the way to Singapore? In theory, yes. In practice? Not so much.

This journey goes across 13 countries, and is 11,654 miles or 18,755 kilometres and takes 14 days assuming no connections are missed.

    Close, but she came with me on the trip. My job waited for my return and lasted about a year-ish after we got back.

      Sorry it didn’t turn out better with her, but it sounds like a huge trip. Not doing something like that is a small regret I have. It’s great that you felt confident and free enough to do it. Though, 5 years in Asia, that doesn’t sound that great tbh😀

        Asia rules, that was a time that I always look back on fondly! Crazy stuff happening everywhere you look. Great food, great people, beaches, snorkeling, jungles, mountains. Too hot though.

        Pretty much whatever path we choose there’s going to be some kind of regret. Humans are crappy like that :)
