    Just Head uhh … Everywhere?

    This post is submitted by a subreddit user, JaffaKetchup (u/bad-at-exams). I recently did a 2-month solo Interrail trip starting on the 15th of September 2025. It ended up as ~14,000 km in the end, through 21 countries. That’s the distance from the top of Canada to the bottom of South America in a straight line.…

  • Optima Express – The Austria to Turkey train!

    Optima Express – The Austria to Turkey train!

    With a scheduled journey time of 31 hours and 31 minutes and around 1400km it is one of the longest regularly scheduled trains in Europe. It runs from Villach in the South of Austria to Edirne just over the border with Turkey. So obviously that sounds like something that needs to be ridden! This is…

  • Mini Eurotrip 2024 (First-Time Interrail)

    Mini Eurotrip 2024 (First-Time Interrail)

    So I’ve finally done my first Interrail trip last month, using a basic 4-day pass to test the waters. Overall, it was a fun experience travelling into 7 different countries within a week, even though most people normally advise against cramming in many places within a short space of time. While I understand this, part…

  • The trip to İzmit – no, not İzmir

    The trip to İzmit – no, not İzmir

    İzmit is a weird place. A city so close to İstanbul but one that is unknown for many. This was exactly the reason me and a few friends decided to take the leap into the unknown and discover this place. İzmit is one of the better connected cities in Turkey, thanks to its proximity to…

  • A trip to Catalunya

    A trip to Catalunya

    As a country to Interrail in, Spain is a pain to go to. I took one for the team and did a trip to Pineda de Mar (roughly halfway between Girona and Barcelona), fully by train. In 2023 I did a similar trip but without Interrail, and I flew back that time. 2023 I will…

  • A day trip from Debrecen, Hungary to Mukachevo, one of Ukraine’s westernmost cities

    A day trip from Debrecen, Hungary to Mukachevo, one of Ukraine’s westernmost cities

    This is a trip report about my first international train journey ever. I’ve made this trip back in 2023, October 7th to be precise. Despite the close proximity of Ukraine, I’ve never been to the country before. Since 24th of February, 2022, life in the country has changed drastically. Air raid sirens are a daily…

  • The trip to Czechia

    The trip to Czechia

    A couple of days ago some of us went to Czechia to meet up with each other. Here we also did a lot of new lines for most of us, including a heritage train from our apartment in the mountainous region. Below it is visible where we went to and where we stayed. The route…
