Hello!
In my last couple of episodes, I spoke at length about my adventures with Inter-Railing, firstly about the trip I did back in 2000, and then a quick overview of where I went in the 2019 trip. In this episode though, I talk a bit more in general about travelling Europe, mainly by train, as a concept, including accommodation, food & drink, budgeting (kind of), and travelling as an older backpacker.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
* Recent forays onto YouTube
* Travelling by train across Europe, including overnight
* Why I went for a full Inter-Rail adventure in 2019
* Staying in hostels and AirBnBs
* European beer
* Restaurants we have visited and liked
* Things that went wrong for me on my trips
* Things that went wrong for Lix on our trip
* Backpacking as an older person
* How I don't budget for my travels
* Apparently I'm okay to travel with
The Humans of the Trail podcast episode I appeared on is here.
