King’s Cross Station: Where My Journey Became a Memory

My Most Fantastic Moments as a Traveler

Greetings everyone,

My name is Sofonie Dala. I am from Angola, and today I want to share with you not just a journey, but a feeling—a memory carved into my heart during my travels through London King’s Cross train station.

My story begins on October 31st, 2024, the day my feet touched London soil for the very first time. With every step I took inside King’s Cross, I felt the weight of history, movement, and possibility. Trains arrived and departed like beating hearts, and I was suddenly part of that rhythm. I was no longer just observing the world—I was moving with it.

King’s Cross became more than a station. It became a place of reflection, anticipation, and quiet joy. Each walk through its halls felt like a conversation with my dreams. Sometimes I was arriving full of excitement, other times departing with lessons learned. Yet every step carried meaning.

From that first day in autumn 2024 to my last steps in June 2025, the station witnessed my growth, my courage, and my wonder. It saw my pauses, my smiles, and those moments when I stood still just to breathe it all in. In those moments, time seemed to slow, and happiness found me without effort.

Now, as 2025 draws to a close and only a few days remain before we open the door to 2026, I look back with gratitude. These were moments that placed a wide smile on my face—moments that reminded me why travel is not just about distance, but about becoming.

King’s Cross was not just a stop on my journey.

It was a chapter of my story.

And I will carry it with me wherever the next train takes me.
