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…

The end of the trip
In the end I went: …and I returned to London on Tuesday. Total 30 days. I return to my own home in Bangkok next Tuesday/Wednesday and back to work the week after. It was a very successful trip and I enjoyed every day. I wasn’t lonely and this blog played a large part in that.…

Ljubljana hostel – Ibis Styles ‘The Fuzzy Log‘
I chose this hostel as it was 4 minutes from the train station and also 3-4 minutes from the old town. This location worked superbly. I was upgraded on arrival due to overbooking.

Skofja Loka and special sausage!
I had not yet planned today. Chris was arriving at 5-6ish and I wanted to save the best things to do together. I tried to get a bus ticket to Piran but they were all sold out for the morning. So after treating myself to breakfast in town, I got a bus ticket to Skofja…

Velika Planina – Wow
Well wow! I am writing this from outside a shepherd’s hut in the middle of the pasture land at the top of Velika Planina mountain. I have fresh curd cheese to eat with salami and bread. I can see beautiful mountain tops, the sun is shining and the wind is blowing gently. Shall I just…

Ljubljana arrival and Kocevje Hiking
I took a wonderful train ride to Ljubljana via Schwarzach St. Veit and Villach. Great scenery all around. Thank you for the recommendation- ‘Interrailing for the Older Crowd’. No meals available on the train so I had a chocolate bar from a vending machine in Villach. Arrival in Ljubljana was easy and there is a…
