19- 50,000km by Train! Spies, Border Control & more w/ Victor Figèra, La Route Du Soja
In this episode of Travel Devil, I sit down with Victor Figèra from La Route du Soja to discuss his incredible long-distance train journey from Paris to Taiwan with his partner Léa. Victor shares how his childhood shaped his passion for sustainable travel and how they navigated a route that emits five times less CO2 than flying. We dive into their most memorable experiences—crossing breathtaking landscapes in China and Kyrgyzstan, a heartwarming arrival in Hong Kong, and culinary adventures in Taiwan. Victor also opens up about the challenges they faced, including illness in China and navigating central Asia as vegetarians. Tune in to hear the highs and lows of their epic two-month journey and how they managed to finance their trip through sponsorships.How to contact Victor:https://www.instagram.com/la_route_du_soja/FREE carbon footprint calculator: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uMGQMJHwxp5gdQp4jyE__QP5BQZLcZWifyBgMB_TK5U/edit?usp=drivesdkWrite us your thoughts on the showSupport the showWant more?
