- It's the third and final summer 2021 Switzerland video!
However you mess up your own plans while travelling, you can usually fix it and have a good laugh about it later. Sometimes you'll even find something you weren't looking for!
This is what I spent the rest of my interrail pass from Switzerland 1 on, making this another cheap weekend. You can use the Interrail app to plan a journey that goes over the same rails as the Bernina Express, so you get to see the Landwasser Viaduct, Miralago, the Brusio Spiral, the Bernina Pass and hour after hour of amazing views.
This is definitely something that I want to repeat in the winter!
Hopefully you enjoyed all 3 videos and found some ways to travel Switzerland on a budget. The next videos will be in slightly different surroundings, follow me on instagram for real-time updates!
I hope that you're doing well and staying safe.

Thank you for watching all 3 of these, they were places that I really wanted to go, and the only thing better than actually going there is the fact that I get to share it with you. So thank you for caring!
See you very soon x
“What is my life? I hope I never take moments like this for granted.” Then proceeds to take nothing for granted. Thank you for creating and sharing this video.
Tears flowing. What impresses me most is your true appreciation for what you experience. The few seconds at the beginning of the video when you were at the overlook of Lake Como from above and you bowed your head in awe and thankfulness is super impressive. Always love your music, your pace, and from a fellow traveler who have been to many of these places, your captures are unique. Your posts always touch my heart. Sincere thanks, Tom.
Wow, thank you! Reading comments like yours makes it all worth it, so thank you for playing your part in making these videos possible.
Tom, there is just something so charming about these videos. The music you use, the editing and most of all your personality really come together to make these amazing. I couldn't stop smiling the whole video. Glad things worked out for you on this trip. Can't wait to see the next one.
"I think if everywhere you went fulfilled and lived up to everything that you have in your mind for it, it would be boring and if your perfect story gets ruined in a pointless and meaningless silly little way like that, I just think that's funny. It's good fun. So I'm glad." - Now everyone please take this away with you into your next week.
Brother,
YOUR KILLING IT! Really, ok. I am so stoked for you. Absolutely stunning! You are by far the best TH-cam travel channel.
Thanks John 🌞
Wow, what beautiful views. Thanks for sharing, and for the reminder that the exhurstion and trials make the dinner and sleep all the sweeter.
I love your videos Tom, they are my guilty pleasure right now. Your English reserve, as well as joy in the right moments with hands on head in amazement along with a gleeful grin make me both want to see more of your videos but I am right there in emotion with you at that moment. These are places I want to see as well wanting to travel there, your reserved approach but steadfast solo passion is just the way I want to approach travel.
The reason I watch to, is your an Englishman, whose name is my granddads he was Tommy. You also look like my son with the glasses, demeanour and confidence to go after it. So I feel it's like your my grandad and son all in one travelling the world. Michael Palin and Simon Reeves comes to mind with your swagger, the loaf of bread eating in the laneway post purchase was brilliant as well as the coffee being to hot. You past video with the sounds inserted at the end was very Monty Pythonesque. I love the food being whipped out mid trail right out of the package with a water bottle in hand refilled being consumed.
Add encouragement, appreciation and love of your content, right here in a box to take at your leisure for more videos just as you are. The fact that you are vegan an animal lover and budget conscious helps immensely as well.
Love from Canada here. Waiting for content and merch here to go with my Tim Tracker shirt.
"Thornton Trails" or "Tails" sounds great on a fashion friendly biodegradable hemp shirt.
Sincerely a fan

I love your good attitude about things not going according to plan. As a planner, I can be a real baby when things don’t go the way I imagined. This is a good reminder that it’s all part of the fun, and that’s where the best travel stories come from. Your wonder of the moment and appreciation for all you encounter is always a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey.
that open top train. what an absolute dream. lucky you.
Wow. Tom.
That footage took me back 40 years to when I was in Chur.
Love love love your easy style. Keep up the stunning videos. Cant wait for the next one.👍👍👍👍
I am so happy for you that you are having the best, unpredictable, turning bumps into brilliant enjoyable travel life moments! Your appreciation for it all, the wonder in your eyes makes so many people cheer for you! Bravo Tom!!
What a great weekend you had and thank you for sharing it with us I look forward to your travels on here
Thanks for sharing the food. You and that loaf of bread was all of us 🤣 . That trip was like a dream come true and you did it in a weekend!
Tom, you've really found your style with these videos. I have so many memories of all these areas. I worked in Germany as an Engineer, and have visited a lot of these places. Lake Como area is actually famous for steel forging!
Northern Italy out of summer is a beautiful hidden gem. I went to Bergamo and Crema in Jan 2020 and it felt so authentic.
Oh Tom, this was a spectacular trip, I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOU to experience all of it!! I'll never get there in person so it's wonderful to go with you.
Hi to Molly, hope she is well and good.❤
Those kinda videos are so down to earth. Enjoyable to watch. It's great how you enjoy the little things in life. 😀 👍
Tom, your trips inspire me to travel and visit those places and more throughout the US and the world. Thank you so much for taking the time to document all these trips. And best of luck, always!
I am a recent finder of your videos/ channel ive been going through them. This is my favorite so far. The scenery is amazing, thanks for posting.
Thanks for another amazing vlog Tom!😃
Lovely video, thanks for capturing and sharing the woncerful ambiance of this trip. Also, when everything goes to plan it's just a journey but when plans fall through, it becomes an adventure 👍
What an amazing weekend trip!! Stunning views even if the whole trip did not always go to plan. Sometimes things work out better. What is not to love about a free trip across Lake Como!! Your filming in Switzerland was so wholesome as well as your reflection about the people (and dogs!) you met on your trip.
Thanks Imogen, that’s so kind ☺️
I did not know that the Bernina line has an open top carriage! Definitely worth going again!
Thanks so much for making these travel videos they are wonderful!
What an amazing weekend you had! Thanks for taking us along! Cheers from Alaska!!
Great views from that open car train, will have to go there next time.
There was a sign at the crossroads in Switzerland that pointed toward "Schmitten." Well, I was pretty smitten by the scenery in this video, for sure. What an incredibly beautiful part of Europe! Congrats for thinking on your feet on the first day when the hike went a bit sideways. You pulled out a great trip -- and a great video.
You have the best attitude and outlook. Gorgeous scenery!
Omg the dogs :)
A very quality video!!!
Absolutely love your travel videos and your attitude! :) Do you mind to share what you eat on these trips and how much you spend?
You inspired me... I will love to travel too.
Fantastico! You inspired me to gear up for travel again too. Bless you for that. 🌱🌱🌱🌱
Never ridden in an open top car, that looked amazing!! It may have not turned out the way you planned - but it looked great anyways! Awesome video mate
Train ride on open car was great...So beautiful. Where is Molly????Have not seen here in your last few videos
Loving your content mate, keep it up!
Thanks for sharing your journey with us! It looks so beautiful and so epic.
Absolutely beautiful! I'm lucky if I get outside of my house on the weekends these days, let alone see anything near that beautiful, love watching.
I’ve just discovered your channel. Absolutely love these trip videos ❤️
Stunning video again Tom!
I love this channel! whats up from Korea!
" I never take life moments for granted " thanks for that along made this video with while !
Old Tom will be proud of how Young Tom lived.
I like this type of travel vlog as it's the kind of trip I might actually do for myself. Exotic places in Asia or South America are all nice and aspirational but planning something closer to home is much less stressful. Also Europe has plenty of beautiful nature and sights and taking trains is much gentler to the environment (and my anxiety) than going on a 10 hr flight.
that's true :) I'm glad if you found it useful for planning your own trip!
@@thornton To give something back, have you visited any forest cemeteries in Germany? I can recommend the ones in Munich and Stuttgart.
The idea of visiting cemeteries might seem weird at first (though my first instance of seeing people jogging in cemeteries was in the UK so perhaps not) but it's a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and it's much less busy than most parks.
Ah I am currently living by the beach in northern California but this makes me miss the mountains back up home in the pacific northwest (usa) (-: lovely video
Love your filming style & music choices 🤩 excited to keep watching your travel videos (if that’s your plan) 🤩
Your filming style feels like if Wes Anderson were a vlogger
What a compliment 🌞
Beautiful video!
Where's Molly? Hope you guys are good :-)
living for the moment
my back garden
I always find that I'm super confident in German when I return from someplace where I don't know the language at all - at least for a little while. ;-)
Love the videos...However where's Molly?
Post your Venmo, i’ll send you some of those Euros back. Loved the video.
Hiii, I just found your channel. I want to travel from Zurich to Tirano, avoiding paying for the expensive Bernina Express. Which local train can I take that follows the same route??
I'd appreciate all the information possible regarding the name of the train, how to get the tickets, etc, cause I can't find clear info online.
Thanks in advance 🙏🏼
Where’s Molly?
Tom, guess I missed something! Why are you alone ?
fun fact is that i did 27km but in a club:P my new record
I’ve just returned form Switzerland myself. I might go again end of January, if you happened to be there drop me a message 👍🏼
Honest question: Is this typical of Italy? Unreliability? Or was this more of a series of one-offs?
They do not look physically well.
