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…

Salzburg and the opening festival for the festival!

Travelled normally until Villach when it stopped in the station for slightly longer than usual. The boy scouts in my carriage were told something and one said to the other ‘Vite!’ And…
