It’s the kiss of death from Mr. Moldfinger
Double your pleasure, double your fun. Trainball, anyone?
You know our mantra here on our site. We love travel and we love history, and we love it when we can combine the two. And we love it even more when we find hidden treasures around the globe. Even more, it's always a thrill to be able to highlight history in…
It's never too early (or too late) to get into art. It's everywhere, which is fantastic. But, the real thrill is to find your way to the real destinations, where art is not just presented, but also where it is revered, and those who are tasked with managing it completely and wholeheartedly devote…
The fastest sleep you’ve ever had.
Calm in Romford. Relax and enjoy an English day.
Duty now for the future. Take the train, Jane.
Emirates Bus Line? Even slumming it is luxurious. Where do I sign?
Most of the developed world relies on rail. Do your part.
We here at Matouring are all about the adventure, the experience, the memories - and, most of all, the unusual. "Why be normal?" is our motto, and we stand by that. As we say again and again, adventure is found almost anywhere - sometimes when you least expect it.
And, going one step…
It’s leafy, down south.

Sorry if we seem a bit repetitious and over-excited when it comes to rail travel. We have loads of articles (see here) about why rail is the way to go and why all travelers should use it when they can. The earth is on fire and now is the time to act to…
We rail on and on again (get it?) about rail. It is the past, present and future of travel. Especially the future. As automobiles continue to clog up the roads, polluting all the while, carrying - maybe - five persons in the vehicle, it becomes more and more apparent that this is…
Thun, Switzerland. Many, many, many years ago, your editor was a part-time software consultant, and a part-time musician. As one benefit of the latter career, I was fortunate enough to tour Europe, making music over a number of separate tours. Even though I had been to the UK many, many times, the music…
This is the road less traveled. Slow down and visit forgotten places.
As if being in Paris isn't thrilling enough, unless you live under a rock, you're probably excited know that Paris will be hosting the Olympics in 2024. So what do you need to do to prepare? The Paris Olympics 2024, officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, are scheduled to be…
... a rail tale, as it were. We write about Cleveland, Ohio, USA every so often. Interestingly, the city seems to capture the attention of thousands of people regularly, even though it is slowly shrinking away. So, why would you want to visit Cleveland, Ohio and - in this case -…
This could be another one of those "been there, done that" stories, where frenzied travelers (or travel bloggers) flee at full speed just to meet their self-imposed deadlines. But, seriously, that's not what travel should be about. You likely flew for ten or more hours to get there, so why rush it? …
We will remember this time in history as the time where everything went wrong all at once. Between Covid, forest fires, floods, earthquakes and people fighting each other, probably not even knowing why.
So, to add salt to the wound, there are even problems with obtaining planes to be able to shuttle those who…
