By train or by sea
As a student, I worked for five years on night trains as a sleeping car steward. Then, my professional career was in the aviation industry for 34 years.
After traveling the whole world by plane, I returned to my original passion: trains, to which I now devote many articles on my blog.
I also discovered a new mode of transport: boats. They often complement train travel, thanks to the many ferry crossings available in Europe.
To make your search easier, I invite you to use the filters by mode of transport or destination.
