Overlooked Train Stops 🗺️ 📍Limburg (an der Lahn) Went here for a work event in April and assumed it would be a boring rural town. A blow through stop on the Cologne-Frankfurt route, surrounded by hills...

Trains around the Lake at the Centre of the Alps In good weather, the Bodensee is hard to beat. Surrounded by bike trails and railways, crisscrossed by ferries, with connections into Austria, Switzerland, and Germany

HOORN 🇳🇱 I'm firmly of the opinion that Amsterdam is great, but its also far from the best way to see old fashioned Dutch canals/architecture/towns Most are wise to Haarlem being very close to the Dutch capital, and its Bavokerk is definitely worth seeing -

FLIGHT-FREE to NORWAY 🇳🇱🇩🇰🇳🇴🚄⛴️ This summer, I went to Norway for the first time, and I took the journey there flight free. From NL, this meant: 1. Local @ns_online train to Roermond 2. @flixbus to Düsseldorf 3. @deutschebahn ICE Düsseldorf to Hamburg *Hostel, A&O, wouldn't recommend*

Amsterdam -> Newcastle 🇳🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⛴️ Flight free with DFDS Late January - €132 for two people (double bed cabin, not incl. bus transfers) The waves were no issue when lying down in the cabin, which was very comfy! Shops onboard were bigger than Stena Line ferries, with ok cafes/bars

ANNUAL CO2 ROUNDUP - 2025 How well did I do this year in terms of avoiding flights? Overall, I did a lot of flying, but also a LOT of flight free travelling. Again, over half my total for the year came from one return flight to the US...

After going to San Sebastian and Bilbao earlier this year flight-free, my journey continued through the countryside of Euskadi, to Zaragoza with ALSA, and on to high speed AVE trains, ending up in Girona. A flight home, but a great journey with a whole lot fewer emissions!
