Are you ready for an adventure? Well, Just Play ’s Journey Girls dolls are the perfect travel buddies!

Just like kids IRL, each Journey Girl has her own individual and unique style. Each has her own special leadership skill, whether it be a strong and infectious sense of self-confidence or a great way of helping friends through sticky situations. (Everyone needs a friend like that!) However, as most close groups of friends do, they all have a lot in common. I love the messaging of these dolls — everyone is unique and brings something different to the group, which helps to make the whole group stronger.

Things they all have in common: They all love to travel and explore — and they love to meet new friends and go on new adventures along the way (am I a Journey Girl?). All of the dolls have fashion-forward styles as well, AND they can all share clothes — since they’re all about sharing!

Whether they are an energetic fitness queen like Meredith or a free-spirited nature-lover like Ilee , kids will be able to find a doll that matches their personality and flair. Other dolls include artist Kyla , cooking-lover Mikaella , animal-lover Dana , bookworm Kelsey , dancer Callie , and singer Chavonne . All of these stylish 18-inch dolls have beautiful hair and rooted eyelashes. Plus at an affordable $34.99, these are some of the most accessible 18-inch dolls on the shelves.

The line also includes a lot of different playsets and accessories that can help kids build out their Journey Girls stories. The Journey Girls Pet Vet Set (perfect to pair with a Dana doll) features a sweet yellow lab and everything you need to help care for him. This set is so cute and packed with accessories — all for a $19.99 price point. Kids can place the puppy on the scale to pretend to take its weight and use the thermometer and stethoscope to give the pup a complete wellness check, all while using the clipboard to record the visit. 

If the pup is injured, kids can take an x-ray and then use the three soft bandages to help patch it up! There is also a play ice pack, animal cards prescription bottles, a cone, two bones (for post-check-up treats), a water dish, a syringe, a cake, a get-well card, and stickers. Although no doll is included, this playset features so much imaginative fun, kids will love to play over and over again.

Two Journey Girls can go on an adventure together over any rough terrain with the Outback 4-Wheel Vehicle . It features an open trunk area for storage, seatbelts, a windshield, a roll bar, side and rear-view mirrors, plastic headlights, and a Journey Girls license plate, so kids can get the full 4-Wheel experience. The two working doors let the 18-inch dolls hop in and out. If you’re going to go on an adventure with your BFF, you need a sweet ride, and this 4-Wheel Vehicle is definitely it. 

So pack up the trunk and get ready for a big adventure with all of the fantastic Journey Girls products from Just Play. Adventures are much more fun with friends!

A Tour of Italy with the Journey Girls

08/31/2015 by The Mama Maven

By Amanda Gurall

I recently had the pleasure of attending a preview of the fall launch for Journey Girls, a series of 18″ dolls produced and sold by Toys “R” Us. Five years ago they created this line of dolls and have since expended form four to seven different dolls to choose from. Each doll has her own backstory with varied interests but they all come together to travel the world, each year bringing them to a new country. Since Toys R Us is no longer in business, you can still find them on Amazon ! 

This fall the collection features Italy and all of the dolls have cute new outfits to travel in. None of them are specifically Italian (except one that says “ciao”), but all of them are true to the doll’s character and my daughter really loved the clothes. The dolls are a bit older looking than some 18″ dolls which is nice if your child wants to act out the story of the girls traveling on their own all over the world as my daughter did.

“Adventure seeker Kelsey will challenge herself by taking on the best hiking trails and exploring marine life within Italy’s 4,000-plus miles of coastline!”

My eight year old daughter has two other dolls this size and her Journey Girl Kelsey fit right in with them, the clothes are mostly interchangeable with other dolls although the Journey dolls have thinner legs and smaller feet so some pants and shoes may not work on bigger dolls. Kelsey is able to stand in her shoes which was great. I think the rooted lashes and hair are nice and easy to maintain and her vinyl has good coloring and weight to it, adding to the durability over time. The collection is adorable and I am happy about the quality so i definitely recommend the Journey Girl collection to anyone who loves playing with or collecting dolls!

The age recommendation is 6 and up. There’s several exclusive to Amazon dolls now — find Journey Girls and accessories on Amazon.

About Journey Girls®

As the name suggests, the Journey Girls® are a group of friends who travel the world together. Each doll has their own unique leadership skills and way that she helps her friends along their adventures. Journey Girls® were formerly the private label 18-inch doll of Toys “R” Us stores, but were moved by the company to being sold primarily on Amazon in July of 2019.

  Journey Girls® Features:

• 18-inches tall
• Rooted hair
• Hand painted faces
• Painted and applied eyelashes
• Vinyl breastplate and cloth torso
• Recommended for ages 6 and up

The Ultimate Pattern Collection for Journey Girls® 

Looking to make cute clothes designed to fit your Journey Girls® doll? Our collection of sewing patterns for these unique dolls includes all the wardrobe staples you're looking for, from classics like jeans and t-shirts, to fun skirts and fancy dresses.  

Journey Girls® Measurements

While the Journey Girls® doll is 18-inches tall, she has different proportions and measurements compared to an 18-inch American Girl® doll. The main differences between the two dolls are that the Journey Girls® have a slimmer cloth torso than the AG dolls. This means that Journey Girls® pants and skirts are quite a bit smaller than ones made to fit 18-inch American Girl® dolls. The Journey Girls®, A Girl For All Time®, and American Girl® dolls are pictured above to show that the three dolls are different enough in size to all require different sized clothing and shoes, but are similar enough to be styled together with the same scale of props and furniture.

Journey Girls® Character Names And Descriptions  

Each year the girls are rereleased with new outfits and accessories inspired by a new location they have traveled to, such as London, Paris, and Italy.

I think Kyla is the prettiest. The olive skin really makes the doll look beautiful.

March 01, 2020

I think these dolls are beautiful! I am drawn to Kyla, though ……. perhaps because we share an artistic personality. Kindred spirits! :)

I’m a big fan of the Kelsey doll and purchased the Journey Girls in Australia version of her before Toys R Us closed. I like her best because she has an inquisitive yet calm expression on her face. I also like that she has long hair that allows me to dress her up in all sorts of ways.

I like Mikaella because she reminds me of my sister.

Kelsey is my favorite. I can’t resist her red hair and green eyes.

February 29, 2020

I love Kelsey she reminds me of my little red head granddaughter! <3

I think I’ll say Mikaella. The strawberry blond and blue eyes. They are all quite pretty and it was difficult to pick just one. Close seconds were Kyla and Kelsey. But Meredith has a real sweet face too.

They are all beautiful, but my favorite is Mikaella. I love the color of her hair and her face is so sweet.

I haven’t tried the journey dolls but they sure look cute. Kyla seems to have similar interests.

February 28, 2020

My favorites are Dana, Mikaella and Ilee. There beautiful dolls.

I love Kelsey and her red hair.

I like Meredith. Her blonde hair and blue eyes are like my granddaughter’s. And she is very health conscious like Meredith.

Kelsey is my favorite because of the hair color and my Irish heritsge.

My favorites are Kyla and Chavonne. They’re so pretty and i cant decide between the two.

Patrice Korte

I like Callie because she looks like my own daughters!

Kyla because I am also a photographer.

Elizabeth Smith

Love kyla. She has beautiful “skin”

I love them all but I sure like Kayla

I love Ilee because she looks just like my granddaughter & has a playful pink streak in her hair just like the whimsical flair my granddaughter would do! My granddaughters are the reason I started make doll clothes!

my favorite is klya

I really like Meredith, she looks just like my twin granddaughters.

Today it’s Kelsey, yesterday it was Dana, who knows who it will be tomorrow…I love them all!

I’m not sure which is my favourite. They’re all cute. Kyla is quite pretty, but Kelsey’s freckles are adorable.

I love Kyla. She looks like my granddaughter Kayla

Kyla really is my favorite. Love those brown eyes, and her skin tone is beautiful.

Roxanne Perez

They are all beautiful, but for some reason Meredith just pulls at my heart strings.

I like Chavonne Sheba energy to give herself a future. Very pretty.

I like Mikaella; she’s cute!

Patty Stanton

I don’t have a favorite. They are all pretty.

I am captived by Jordanna. So few dolls have hazel eyes. That makes her very special.

My favorite is Kelsey — love her beautiful auburn hair.

Candice Lacy

I think Kyla is prettiest! They’re all gorgeous though.

Debra Beheler

These Journey Girls dolls are all beautiful and so difficult to choose a favorite. Kyla looks the most like my youngest granddaughter. Winning her would be lovely.

I like all the Journey Girls, but my favourite is Dana, I like her kind and sweet smile, and that she loves animals.

I think I like Meredith the best, because she has similar interests to me. It would be great for young girls to learn about staying fit and healthy without obsessing to the point where it is unhealthy.

Love Meredith and Kyla. Merediths beautiful long blonde hair reminds me of my 7 year old granddaughter. Love the sweet expression on Kyla.

They’re all so pretty it’s hard to pick a favorite! I’m partial to redheads though, so I’ll have to go with Kelsey.

Kyla is my favorite! Beautiful.

Kyla is my favorite! Being a brunette all my life I always go for the brunette! She is very natural looking.

Diana L Vagle

Kayla is my favorite Journey girl because she fits attractively between the light skinned blonde and the darker complected black haired dolls.

Kyla is my favorite – her hair looks more natural.

designdreamer

Wow, of course I had heard of these dolls before, but I’ve never really “explored” them. They have really pretty faces!! Hard to choose a favorite, but I’m going to go with Chavonne.

Mikaella is my favorite doll! I love her blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair! She is so beautiful! 😍

Patricia Key

Well, I have never even seen a ‘Journey Girl’, but I would LOVE to have one AND make her my favorite! 😉. From this group, I like Jordanna the best. I love formal attire.

These dolls are all absolutely lovely, but my favorite would have to be Kyla because she is an artistic photographer and I love her style.

I like Kelsey, because I need a red head in my collection. And my granddaughter can play with her as Meredith as the Disney character.

Never too old for dolls, I have been refurbishing when i find them at the thrift stores….Kyla would be my Favorite….ty

Kyla is my favorite – she has a serene look to her.

Kyla is my favorite as I like her style.

Love Dana, Kyla would be my second choice.

They are all so beautiful it is hard to choose, however, I will pick Meredith. She reminds me of someone I went to school with.

My favorite is Kelsey.

Jordanna is my favorite—at least for today.

Jan Polander

I like Kelsey with her fiery red hair.

hello, i have preferences between kyla, kelsey and chavonne who have a soft face. But, you have to make a choice :) this will be kyla, I will see later to buy these wonders. Thank you for this contest

Jordanna is my favorite doll, she is the most elegant!

Kayla is my favorite, I love her eyes.

Dana gets my vote. It’s a plus that she also loves animals.

Chavonne is quite lovely. They did such a good job with her pretty face. Thank you for these wonderful giveaways!

Kelsey is my favorite, Love that red hair

Love Dana , the glasses and love for animals .

I like Kyla the best. Her hair is magnificent. The rest of the dolls are nice as well.

Debbie Peek

Jordanna is my favorite. I’,m not really sure why. She just strikes my fancy.

Linda Smith

Today my favorite doll is the Ilee. I love her hair and her blue eyes. She loves nature and protecting it.

All of the dolls are beautiful but I must say I like Kyla, the best. I like her skin tone it is so pretty.

February 27, 2020

Jordanna is the one I really like. She has gorgeous hair! Thanks for the chance!

Michelle Eusebio

I found my Meredith doll at a Goodwill a few years ago. I’ve purchased several patterns for her from Pixie Faire and they’re delightful and easy to use. You should try them!! I would love to enjoy another Journey Girl doll. My favorites are Chavonne and Kelsie. But Meredith (my Lacey) would love any one of her friends:).

Jeanne Marshall

Kyla is my favorite because I love her hair.

I really like Dana. And the redhead, Kelsey? Pretty dolls.

Debbie siltala

I think my favorite is kelsey

Kyla is very pretty. Love her hair. My Favorite is Ilee. Love the outfit and her hair. Thanks Cinnamon for the great giveaway.

I like Callie the best because she looks a lot like my grand-daughter.

Mae Lynn Beck

I have Dana and she is so pretty. I haven’t really studied the others but they are all adorable.

My favourite Journey Girls is by far Chavonne, she is such a beautiful doll. Though I also love Kelsey, Callie, Kyla, and Meredith. They are all such a gorgeous dolls! I have been hoping to get one some time, as I have been curious about sewing for there size.

My favorite – Jordanna. Love her hair and eyes, plus the beautiful blue chiffon dress.

My favourite is Jordanna. Love the hair.

My favourite is Kelsey. Not only do I love her colours and her hair is manageable – not too curly but also, I adore the outfit she is wearing. It suits her perfectly. Stylish and matches her hair so perfectly.

Aubrey Scott Daniels

Dana looks similar to my daughter! She loves nails too! They are all cute dolls!

Kelsey is my favorite because of her green eyes, though I’d say Kyla is probably my second favorite.

Dana is so very cute wearing the glasses. And she love animals, as I do!

I like Dana. She looks just like my granddaughter! Glasses and all!

I have a couple of journey girls and they look great in the clothes I have made. I really like Kyla but don’t have her.

WOW so many people love these dolls, if I win I’ll have to start making new clothes….fun!

I love Kelsey’s auburn hair, but Kyla is definitely my favorite! She reminds me of my daughter in law who is also a photographer.

I love Mikaella! I was a strawberry blond born in 1950. Would love to make her 50’s and 60’s outfits!

My favorite is Kyla

Judith Wainwright

I already have Mikaella. I love her and would dearly love to give her Kyla as her sister.

All the dolls are very pretty, I don’t really have a favorite. I would be happy to own any one of them.

Julie Farmer

I love Kelsey as she look likes my grandaughter

Meredith is my favourite as she is the first Journey Girl I bought.

I like Kelsey.

I like Kelsey and Mikaella best. My granddaughter has hair somewhere between theirs.

Kelsey and Dana are my faves. I recently went to out local Toys are US only to discover they no longer carried this line..

February 26, 2020

Very beautiful! I would love to add her to my collection!

Journey on the Trans-Siberian: Moscow to Yekaterinburg

This is the second part of a series about my trip across Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway in the summer of 2018. I’ll cover the overnight ride from St Petersburg to Moscow, the 16 hours I spent in the Russian capital, and the two-day ride from Moscow to Yekaterinburg.

After a few days in St Petersburg I boarded the overnight train to Moscow. The sleeper train “Red Arrow” departs at 11:55pm. I read (but didn’t confirm) the departure time was set in Soviet times to leave before midnight so travelers could get reimbursed for two working days.

There were three people already in the cabin when I walked in: In one of the top bunks was a girl who looked 20-something, and on the two bottom bunks, two Brazilian men who looked like soccer fans. (It was World Cup summer.)

We exchanged muted hello’s and filled out our breakfast order forms. Without wasting time I followed the process of settling into an overnight cabin:

• Examine and unpack the supplied bedding.
• Make the bed.
• If foreigners are in the cabin, motion to them to follow your lead.
• Exit the cabin to give others room to make their bed and, if they wish, to change into sleeping attire.
• Return when appropriate, and begin smalltalk to spark a deep and cross-cultural conversation that’ll grow richer and bring you closer together with every mile of track until the morning golden hour.

Except the Brazilian men didn’t speak English, and the girl, probably on-guard, remained silent. I went to sleep.

It wasn’t the rocking that stirred me awake every hour, but the impressive guttural symphony coming from the man below me. The snores came in different tones and rhythms, transforming mid-breath with no particular pattern, which made them difficult to ignore. (A few days later, Tatiana, another cabin-mate, refuted my story by telling me sound doesn’t travel upwards. “Then he cheated physics,” I said.) I forced my earplugs deeper and felt relief that this is only a seven-hour trip.

By morning the Brazilians still didn’t speak English but the girl was more inviting. She’s a mother of two—which surprised me—and was headed to Moscow for a meditation seminar. I made whatever smalltalk I could fit between bites of fried cheese fritters until we arrived in Moscow.

It was early morning, and my first objective was to find a quiet part of the city where I can rest until some nearby coffeeshop opens. I took the metro to the nearest patch of green on Google Maps—a park called “Clean Ponds.”

The only available bench was next to a group of Russian men still drinking from the night before. One of the men was slumped over, another was drying in the sun after taking a dip in the pond, another was throwing fists at the wet one, and the rest were fighting to stay upright—only because it’s easier to keep drinking when upright. I decided against napping, and instead enjoyed the scene unfolding to my left.

A woman approached and sat next to me, holding her small dog, and complained about the park’s occupants. Following a light conversation, she lit a cigarette, told me about her (deceased) husband’s medical invention, and proposed I introduce the product to the US market in return for a cut of the profits. She did this while parrying advances from one of the men. (“I have a job and own an apartment in a good location, behind the McDonald’s,” he said.) She gave me her phone number before leaving, probably dreaming of business ventures in America that will not happen.

When the woman left, the party group noticed me. “Where the f— did you come from?!” one of them said. I was prepared to give (and take) a few hits and run, but managed to ease the tension with some jokes and handshakes.

I gave up on rest and went in search of coffee and breakfast.

Irina and Red Square

Irina is a lawyer living in Moscow who’s trying to improve her English. We met on a language-learning website, and arranged to meet in person to walk through the Red Square and practice English/Russian.

The Red Square was staged for the World Cup and crowded with tourists. It felt like the Russian version of Times Square, which I found intolerable. I snapped some shots and hurried us to lunch.

We found a Georgian restaurant just off the main boulevard and spent the next hour chatting about Russia’s legal system, language exams, graduate school, and how long could it possibly take to cook chicken.

In 2007 I was supposed to visit St Petersburg aboard my college’s training ship. My cousin warned me I should brush up on my Russian: “We have smart relatives there, don’t embarrass yourself.” I searched for Russians to chat with online and found Polina.

We spoke every other day in the months leading up to my voyage that summer. I started to like her. We made unrealistic plans for her to travel from Moscow to St Petersburg to meet me for the few days I’d be there. It never happened. Just days before my ship’s scheduled arrival, the captain diverted us to Estonia after failing to get the proper docking permits or visas for Russia. Polina and I exchanged only a few emails over the next decade.

This time, the plan worked.

We met and crisscrossed the Moskva river over bridges as we spoke of life in Russia, her newborn son, traveling, her dreams of returning to freelancing, the things we still do and those we don’t… I don’t remember where we walked or what we passed.

Is this what Captain Smith made me miss? I imagined myself at 19, and Polina getting permission from her mom to take the overnight train to St Petersburg, and my needing to return to the ship by midnight, and maybe ending up like my shipmate and the Croatian girl he fell in love with on the first day in port in Dubrovnik…

The thought made me happy but also underscored the passage of time. We were far from 19, and we both found love on native soil, and she became a mom, and I had to catch the train to Yekaterinburg before midnight.

After saying goodbye to Polina, it was time for the next segment of the Trans-Siberian Railway: A one-and-a-half-day ride to Yekaterinburg. I stocked up on ramen noodles and tea, and made my way to the train.

Riding the Trans-Siberian Railway is interesting for two reasons: The train itself, and the people on it. Life aboard the train doesn’t differ much from one segment to another, so I will write a separate article of observations and survival tips learned throughout the entire trip.

The people, however, did change with each segment. On this segment from Moscow to Yekaterinburg, as urban sprawl gave way to dense forests and wooden villages, I got to know a family from the Far North.

Tatiana, Nastia, and Sasha

My roommates for the 27-hour trip from Moscow to Yekaterinburg were Tatiana and her two children, Nastia and Sasha.

Within minutes of departure I took off my shoes to get comfortable and waited for the hallway activity to calm down before preparing for bed. Tatiana, somehow sensing my inexperience with long-distance train travel, pointed at the blue disposable slippers that came with the provided bedding and gently suggested I put them on. I thought they were silly and not for someone who’s used to rough traveling, so I responded that I’m alright in my socks. She tried to convince me a bit longer before giving up.

Moments later, I went to the bathroom—there’s one at each end of every car—and learned they’re just like airplane bathrooms: small and wet, and you don’t know from what . I returned to the cabin, changed my socks, and donned the blue disposable slippers. Tatiana looked on with approval.

They were traveling from their small military town near the Russia-Finland border (where her husband is stationed) to Novosibirsk — over 3,000 miles away — to visit her parents, as they do every summer. Airfare would cost them three months’ worth of income (by my own calculation), so they took the train, like many Russian families traveling to or from Siberia.

Our conversations spanned life in Russia, life in the US, Nastia’s college ambitions (she’s undecided between medicine and chemistry), traveling (because of the husband’s position in the military, the family is not allowed to travel outside of Russia), drawing, Russian literature, and more… We talked without end for two days while sharing food and drinking tea by the liter.

Tatiana teaches literature and Russian at their local school. She told me about life inside the arctic circle and showed me photos of polar lights, fields of flowers, her shirtless husband stepping out of a bania (a Russian sauna) and jumping into the snow, and other everyday scenes. She worried about what will happen after her husband’s military contract ends next year. She’ll miss Nastia when she stays behind in Novosibirsk for one final year of school and then university.

Tatiana also worried about my safety. She advised me to tell people I’m a local: “Your Russian is good enough,” she said, “that people will believe you and assume that your slight accent and slower pace is due to—” and she raised her fingers to her temple and did a twisting gesture. I nodded, thought for a moment, and decided that was a compliment.

Nastia is a straight-A student interested in chemistry and medicine. She’s not sure which of the two she’ll study in university, but she has another year to decide. She’ll stay with her grandparents in a small village outside of the city for another year until it’s time to attend Novosibirsk University. Although she studied english in school for several years, she never felt comfortable enough to speak it. (The faculty at their local school is made up of military spouses with little or no teaching experience.)

Nastia earns money on the side by painting custom designs on her clients’ nails. Her designs—from cartoon characters to landscapes to sunsets, all painted on half-inch-wide keratin canvases—are remarkable and belong in high-end nail salons of New York. I offered her some advice based on my consulting experience (she should charge more for more the elaborate designs). Her entrepreneurial spirit made me happy for her, maybe because it reminded me of my teenage years when I drew cartoons for money.

Sasha is just beginning to learn English, and this was his first encounter with a native speaker. He was nowhere near conversational English, so he engaged the only way he could: shouting out Russian words from his language workbook to see if I could respond with the right translation. “How do you say, um, ‘lion?’” he asked, and looked at me with a wide smile and alert eyes, waiting to hear a word that matched his notes. “Give Greg a break,” Tatiana said, more than once, after many animals were correctly translated, but I gave Sasha an approving smile to signal it’s alright. “Crocodile!?” he continued…

The next day, as the train approached Yekaterinburg in the early morning, I nudged Tatiana and Nastia awake to say “goodbye,” as they requested the night before, when we exchanged longer goodbyes and I told them how wonderful it was to meet and spend time with them. “Goodbye, Greg,” they replied, and both gave me a smile that I didn’t expect from anyone whose sleep was interrupted, who’s been on the road for weeks, who wouldn’t see her daughter (or mother) for a year, whose future was so uncertain… And still they smiled in the way that only good people do.

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway also depend on the current ruble exchange rate.

Is the Trans-Siberian Railway expensive?

Before starting on your Trans-Siberian Railway adventure you naturally want to know what the entire trip will cost. Although this sounds like a simple question, it is pretty difficult to answer. The Trans-Siberian Railway price of travel depends on the following factors:

• Which travel class do I want to use? The price for a first class ticket is about three times the price of a 3rd class ticket
• Am I willing to buy the tickets myself and assume responsibility for the organisation of the trip?
• How many stopovers do I want to make? The more breaks, the higher the total price.
• What sort of accommodation do I want? Will it be a luxury hotel or will a hostel dormitory be sufficient?
• What tours and excursions would I like to go on?
• What is the current exchange rate for rubles?

Basically, everything from a luxury to a budget holiday is available. If you buy yourself a 3rd Class nonstop ticket at the counter, a few hundred Euros will cover the price. All you will experience is a week on the Trans-Siberian train and will see nothing of the cities on the way. There is, however, any amount of room for upward expansion. Everyone makes different choices about which aspects they are willing to spend money on. I personally prefer to save money on accommodation and railcar class, visit as many cities and do as many trips as possible. To enable better classification of your travel expenses I have contrasted two typical traveler types. In the third column you can calculate the total cost of your own journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that these are only rough estimations and not exact prices.

The all-in costs seem fairly high at first. However, they cover everything and it is quite a long journey taking four weeks. Many people forget to consider that when looking at the list. We should also deduct the running costs for food and leisure at home. I think most visitors to this page will classify themselves somewhere between the two categories, that is around the € 2,000 – € 2,500 range. When comparing these prices with other travel packages, you get the impression that it is hardly worthwhile travelling individually on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that most packages last no more than 14 days and you are herded like cattle through the most beautiful locations.

If you spend less time on the Trans-Siberian Railway you will, of course, pay less. I chose this particular travel length because I prefer not to do things by halves. If you fulfill your dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enjoy it and don’t rush things. But it’s up to you, of course. Try playing around with the form a bit to find the appropriate price for your trip.
