Train hoppers are turned a blind eye in Mauritania Train hoppers are turned a blind eye in Mauritania as they travel from Choum to Nouadhibou. Riding the world's longest train was quite a challenge as sand and iron dust covered every part of your body. The 3km train transports $1.3B worth of iron ore per year from the Sahara Desert to the coastal town of Nouadhibou in Mauritania. ❤️✈️ #desert #mauritania #exploretheworld #train #youngpioneertours #desert #africa #trainhopping #globetrotter #adventure #travelholic #nomad #traveller #wanderlust #nomadlife #wanderer #travelbug #instatravel  #explore #ontheroad  #travelmore

Dancing all night to @benbohmermusic at @thedanforthmusichall has made me the happiest I've been in years.

Sharing the passion for flying and aviation is a r Sharing the passion for flying and aviation is a responsibility that I feel all pilots should share. I took the opportunity to do so with my friend @cait_abernethy as we headed up to Orillia, Canada (CNJ4) for lunch. Fresh from a recent trip to Costa Rica she exclaimed "I can’t believe I’m on another airplane in less than a week". Her energy and excitement stepping into Plane Jane is #whyifly. ❤️✈️ #exploretheworld  #adventure #travelholic #traveller #wanderlust #canada #ontario #travelbug #instatravel #traveltheworld #cnj4 #flying #aviation #explore #ontheroad #travelmore #pilot #funwithfriends
