Sustainable travel for working women
I recently took the famous train ride from Oslo to Bergen, Norway and can honestly say it is the most beautiful, scenic train ride I’ve ever experienced. Whether you’re interested in Bergen (which is one of my new favorite cities – another story for another day) or just want to take the ride for the […]
