UK and EU travel writer

Jorja joined the Trainline team in 2018, and over the past 5 years has been focused on all things to do with UK and European train travel. She's an avid traveller, from Interrailing around Europe and volunteering in India, to backpacking around South-East Asia and New Zealand. A little closer to home, Norfolk and Devon are her go-to staycation spots.

Living in Leicestershire, outside of work you can find Jorja walking her cockapoo Pepper, enjoying a G&T in a beer garden, reading a 'who dun it?' or looking for the next restaurant to visit.
