It all started because of Covid-19 ! In 2020, like many of us, I saw all my summer travel plans canceled due to the pandemic. With flights off the table, traveling across Europe by train remained one of the few viable options. Until then, I hadn't been much of a train traveler (I've always loved flying, though I recognize it's not a sustainable way to travel and it should be reduced).

The convenience and countless possibilities of train travel blew my mind. Since that trip, I've been exploring Europe - and beyond - primarily by train and other sustainable modes of transportation whenever possible. However, I quickly realized how challenging it can be to organize a train journey, given the fragmented information across various European train companies. I spent a lot of time researching through blogs, social networks and books to organize my train adventures.

Four years later, I decided to create this website to share itineraries and help others plan their train journeys. My goal is to build a community of train travelers who can share their own routes, tips, and experiences. I made it my mission through this website to help more people travel — sustainably and affordably.

I believe that with the right amount of planning and knowledge, traveling can be accessible to the majority of us. I hope it is useful and I can only encourage you to go see the world by rail!
