A travel journal by Tilda Brennick
Slow journeys by sea and rail.
Trip reports and guides from twelve years on European coasts without a car: the train to the harbour, the ferry to the island, the bike or your feet for the rest.

Who writes here
Hello, I am Tilda
I write Ferrylight from Hamburg, between two journeys.
I have not taken a plane for a trip under 1,500 kilometres since 2014. Instead I take the train to the coast and the ferry to the island, and I write down how it went, including the connections I missed.
A cabin on the night ferry is the cheapest room with a sea view.
You fall asleep in one country and wake up in the harbour of the next.
