Backpacking Europe

Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure

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.

A PDF transcript of this episode is available.
