Cristina's unique travel experience
Traveling on the iron train in Mauritania was probably one of the best travel experiences of my life! This cargo train crosses the Sahara and is used by the locals to travel for free. All you have to do is jump on the cargo train and enjoy the ride. I'm not sure whether it was because it happened during the sacred month of Ramadan, because I'm a huge train lover, or because it made me see the Sahara from a unique perspective, but I will surely cherish this memory forever.
