Traveling alone
Before my interrail trip, I had done many short trips alone, a number of international ones semi-alone (on my own but joining a group tour) and many trips with my children as the lone adult. But I had never done a month long trip by myself and I anticipated that there was potential to be…

Staying in hostels
This was the part of my trip that I was not sure about. I had never stayed in a hostel even when I was younger so I didn’t really know what to expect. I am certainly not a ‘youth’ anymore so there was that too. However, as a solo traveler I could imagine that not…

Innsbruck Day One
Wow it’s been a full week since I left London and I’m having a great time! Today I started at the Tourist Information office with a very patient young woman who answered my myriad of questions without blinking an eye. With her help, I have booked a Promenade Concert for every night this week bar…

Train to Innsbruck – wrong ticket
Leisurely journey from Bratislava and connection onto Innsbruck train in Vienna. I treated myself to a business class upgrade for EU15. Nice big, reclining seat and plenty of room. UPDATE: It seems that I have bought an upgrade but I don’t have the right ticket to qualify for it!! This is how I made the…
