From Brussels, I will travel directly to Maastricht by bus 🚌, where I will share a room with a colleague 🛏️🤝 While in Maastricht, I will use public transport or cycle to and from the venue 🚋 🚲

From Lisbon to Maastricht for Sleep Europe 2026 😴🌲 The EU aims to make cross-border rail travel faster and more efficient through the Trans-European Transport Network. Its plans include new and improved connections that could link Lisbon with the rest of Europe by 2035! 🚞🇪🇺

"a breakthrough for gender equality in space tourism" of all the breakthroughs humanity is desperate to realise, this is what they are spending an obscene amount of money & carbon on (75 tonnes per passenger is as much carbon as an individual from the bottom billion will emit in entire lifetime.
