  • Episode 11 - A Surprising Story on a Train with Elly
    Aug 23 2025

    I travel on trains about once a month. Sometimes for commuting purposes, sometimes for fun. this podcast brings conversation to life for me. It is worth the effort because I challenge my insecurities and learn about people at the same time. Have a listen and enjoy the podcast! Elly is using her time on the train to enjoy her commute back and forth from school - it started out a bad situation, but ended up pretty good! Train travel is a unique experience that gives us the opportunity to meet new people, exchange stories, and ponder life's mysteries. Everyone has a story to tell. This podcast explores the conversations that occur sometimes while travelling by train. The conversations are unrehearsed, and spring from the idea that we can learn a lot from each other if we just say hello and start talking. Best, Karen

    Feb 22 2025

    Today I introduce Sharice to you. She was waiting on the same train so I struck up a conversation. I hope you enjoy this quick episode because the train was about to enter the station! See you around!

    Three questions:

    Why are you riding the train today?

    Do you enjoy traveling by train?

    Do you have any stories to tell?

    Maybe I'll see you at the station!

    Best,

    Karen
