Welcome to the very first episode of A Travel State of Mind – where journeys begin long before arrival, and the best discoveries are often unplanned. We start this adventure aboard the Nightjet in Munich and wake up in the heart of Paris – rested, inspired, and ready to explore. What follows is a day full of charm, contrast, and surprise. From the peaceful Canal Saint-Martin to the vibrant streets of Pigalle, from spontaneous flea markets to elegant cafés tucked away in Le Marais, we walk, we eat, we observe. And we let the city guide us. Jochen shares not only his love for train journeys but also his honest, curious impressions of a city that is constantly changing – greener, livelier, and more open than ever. With stories of sidewalk breakfasts, vintage treasures, and the little things that make Paris feel like a dream, this episode invites you to see the city not through a checklist, but through moments. Whether you're planning your first visit or have been countless times – this is Paris, gently rediscovered. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
