Hello good folks of Eurail community!

My name is Kathi. I am an educator who loves to travel and learn about new places, people and culture.

We are from Wisconsin, and are embarking on our very first journey to France at the beginning of June and are excited, but anxious, as we are still learning how to use our Eurail pass and how to navigate the trains. 

 We have been to London, and the Rhine River area in Germany last year and absolutely loved both areas! We were met with interesting things to do and beautiful areas to explore! All the people we met were helpful and lovely!

I’m looking forward to chatting with you all and learning from you. Have safe travels everyone!

Kathi

Hi everyone! I’m originally from England, living in Australia. I’m bringing my two teenage sons to Europe for almost four weeks and I’m planning to explore Europe with them by train. I had a wonderful month interrailing in 1988 as student and want them to have as good a time as I did! Planning on starting in UK, then onto Paris via Eurostar, then Italy and Greece. I’m sure I’ll have lots of questions as we get closer to December when we are going.


Hallo zusammen!

Ich bin neu hier.

Grundsätzlich fahre ich einfach gerne mit dem Zug.

Auch interessieren mich mal andere Städte/Länder, wo ich nicht unbedingt Urlaub machen würde. 

Grundsätzlich bin ich ein kommunikativer Mensch.Nur leider ist mein Englisch eher sehr schlecht.

 

Nächstes Jahr (2024) möchte ich Interrail das 1.mal nutzen. Ich möchte gleich "voll Einsteigen "mit dem 3Monatsticket.

Hat hier jemand Erfahrungen, was man sehen sollte?Wie &wann buchen Ich am besten Züge?

Möchte mich evtl.auch jemand (ein Stück)begleiten?

Ich freue mich auf viele nützliche Tipps &Tricks. 

Liebe Grüße &alle Zeit eine gute Fahrt,

Klaus

Hi, my name is Nirmal. I am a retired Canadian visiting Turkiye for a while and want to find out how to travel Eurail. I’m a bit of a novice, but the little bit of traveling I have done, I’ve done it alone. I want to travel from Ankara to London and just beginning to look at how to do this. So, nice to meet you, looking forward to interacting.

Das sollte relativ problemlos mit dem Interrail Global Ticket gehen.

Hierbei bleibt nur noch die Überlegung, wieviel Zeit zu Verfügung steht, damit man sich für das individuelle, beste Ticket entscheiden kann.


Hi.. I am Fefe, from Portugal... 44/male.

I like to travel and know about countries, cultures and more... I think to have my first interain soon... Thank you. Obrigado


Hello everyone. My name is Bill and I live in Japan and will be traveling next week to Europe. Really excited for this trip as I have been thinking about it for a long time. I have lived in Japan for 30 years now after moving from America

 


Hi, My name is Wilma & I live in Winnipeg, Canada (almost in the centre of Canada) with my husband & children. I love to travel but unfortunately have not had much time to travel overseas since having children. I also love photography & digital scrapbooking. I’m looking forward to traveling again - my daughter & I are flying to Paris in May 2024. 


Hi All,

 

I am Terri from Canada!

 

This will be my first time using the trains. most all my previous travel has been for work, and tagging on a few days here and there to sitesee. 

 

I am excited to explore Europe with my husband, and enjoying trip planning for the summer as it is currently been -40C with the windchill here all week!


Hi my name is Alex and Im from Spain and I want to know Europe country to country month to month, I LOVE travel and meet other persons and different cultures and different foods, i dont know how to start but i have ilussions for this. I losted my house and my things and my pets, was stolen for other persons and I get depressed for It but in this i search an option to recover my happiness and my health. I am 27 years old.


Hello,

My name is Margaret and I will be a newly minted retiree when we begin our trip - FREEDOM!  Oops I see Mike has posted earlier… oh well I can’t delete so you get to hear from both sides of our beautiful team.  

Mike and I are about to embark on a three month trip through Europe traveling by train with a couple of ferry trips added in. This is my first trip to Europe so I am very excited.  While we have planned our locations, sites and hikes, we have left time to just soak it all in and quietly enjoy. Additionally, we are staying with local people rather than at hotels to better experience areas. 

We have traveled by train in Thailand but this train trip is by far our most ambitious.  As we progress with our travels I know we will be drawing from the community’s expertise as we are so inexperienced. 

We have two other trips planned this year Guam and Australia but they will not be by rail 😊 

Thanks everyone and happy travels!

Hey I'm Matt. 21 years old. Completely new to interrailling and this community. Unsure if I pressed the right button to reply to this post. 

I am from the Netherlands, specifically North Holland. Currently studying Pedagogical Sciences with a deeper interest in clinical/forensics. I enjoy trying new things, cars, games, canoeing. Train travel hasn't been a good first impression. First time I travelled by train outside the Netherlands, was to London where there was a 5 hour delay. Thing I love about Europe, is how everything is just around the corner. It amazes me everything how quickly you can be in a different country with a variety of dialects and cultures. 

Hello, 

Je m'appelle Carine, j'ai 54 ans, je vis près de Spa dans les Ardennes belges et voyager participe a mon équilibre. Je n'ai quasi jamais voyagé en train sauf vers Londres,  Paris et Lourdes. Je voulais faire un Interrail durant mes études mais je n'ai trouvé à l'époque personne pour m'accompagner. Je compte à partir de maintenant voyager davantage en train d'où ma présence ici. J'ai deux fils Loup et Nils de 17 et 21 ans qui, une fois par an acceptent encore partir avec leur mère. Nous avons un chien, Locqui un super Hovawart de 8 ans que nous laissons généralement à la maison lors de nos déplacements. Mon premier projet serait au Nord vers la Laponie avec mes gamins. C'est lié au prénom de mon fils 😉 

J'ai idée de faire la boucle Spa, Stockholm, Kiruna, Rovaniemi, Helsinki, Spa en 10 à 12 jours 

Si vous avez des conseils, ils sont les bienvenus 🙂

 

 


Bonsoir, je viens de faire mon premier voyage grâce à un pass. Je suis partie, avec ma fille ado, une semaine de France vers narvik en Laponie norvégienne. Nous n'avons passé qu une journée sur place,  il fallait rentrer les vacances ne sont pas extensible mais c était une très bonne expérience. J'ai hâte du prochain voyage ! De magnifiques paysages,  plusieurs langues, quel dépaysement et un rythme vraiment différent des autres vacances.  Je recommande !

Une semaine et seulement 1 jour en Laponie, vous avez quand même vu des aurores boréales ?


Non le ciel était trop couvert,  pleine lune et trop de positivité ! Faut qu on y retourne :-)


Effectivement bonne raison d'y retourner ! :-)

Je suis curieuse... Vous avez fait quelles étapes avant d'arriver à Narvik ? 


Paris Bruxelles Cologne Hambourg stockholm boden  narvik et partiel au retour. Balade à hambourg quelques heures et 2 journées à stockholm

Hi Folks,

I’m David from Melbourne and, together with my wife, Tegwen, we are planning a european holiday to celebrate our retirement. We left the UK in 1983 and lived in Africa and the Midddle East for 10 years. We moved to Australia 30 years ago. We are starting at Perugia where one of our nephews is getting married in May 2024. The plan is to move on to Florence, then Lugano, Luzern, Lausanne in Switzerland, then on to Avignan, Perpignan in France ending up in Barcelona, Spain.

It’s a bucket list trip!

 

Omg yall life are full of adventure i love it. And I truly miss Melbourne but i was in the one in Florida, USA. Hopefully we get to meet in Spain and talk about our adventures. 🫶🫶


 Hey !

I just discovered interrail and very curious to know about it

 


Hello! My name is Ronn and I'm from the Netherlands. I have been going on solo travels for 10 years now, in between trips with family and friends. Most of that was within Europe, because there is just so much to see and experience within this relatively small continent. So many different cultures and so much history.

I almost hate to admit that I did most travel by plane (or car). I've always loved train travel though. Especially when I didn't have my driver's license yet. I still have good memories of my first night train experience to Copenhagen from 10 years ago. You get to meet the most interesting people. The train journey from Oslo to Bergen five years ago was also very memorable because of the amazing scenery on the way. A few years back I traveled by train to the Bodensee and then a week later traveled by train to Prague as well. That was the first time I got to experience dinner on a train. Just last week I took the train from Pisa to Cinque Terre. Quite impressed by Italy's rail network.

I still want to do the Big Trip though. As in, go from place to place for about two weeks all around Europe. That's when I stumbled upon Eur/Interrail and this community. I'm looking forward to sharing experiences and gaining some inspiration from you all.


Hi… im Juan Pablo from CHILE. I will travel to Europe by feb 2025 and planning the trip. Dont know yet if the best is to travel by train or plane… we are 4 adults.

Glad to meet the community here !
