The one with the braid (she/her)

I like trains, they are cute <3.

Hey, I'm The one with the braid, I travel a lot and do [matrix] for work. Ask me about night trains, encryption, paranoid data security and federated systems.

I've been traveling by trains and public transport around the globe for a couple of years now, especially to places others would not travel to these days, mostly in eastern Europe, the Arabic world and central Asia.

I might have controversial opinions but I'm always willing to learn more.

Feel free to contact me !

Behind the new Iron Curtain: Insights of traveling from FOSDEM to FOSSASIA by train. A travel report.
The one with the braid (she/her)

War in Europe, criminalization of queer rights all over Russia's satellite states and mass surveillance in China and its economic colonies - these are definitely not the best conditions to go on a world trip from Europe to Asia connecting the FOSDEM in Belgium with the FOSSASIA in Thailand by train.

I would like to share the experiences and lessons learned of traveling 34.000 km by train around half the globe behind the new Iron Curtain separating our liberal Europe from the dictatorships on the way to South East Asia.

I like trains <3.
