Ah , overnight trains. Forty years ago my best friend and I did the grand Europe trip on about $15 a day not including our Eurail pass . Overnight trains were our "hotel" multiple times . Insane yes but the joyous insanity of youth . Once in a lifetime memories .
About special occasions: My husband and I were in Thailand in 2019 when Pope Francis was visiting. We had to switch a couple of our plans around to see him but it was totally worth it. I will never forget that day.
Our new Favorite way to get our bearings in a new city? Book an e-bike tour. Easy to do on Trip Advisor. You cover a lot of ground in 2-3 hours and you meet a nice group of people. Last February, we did it in Lisbon, Sintra-to-Cascais, Porto and Seville! My wife was a bit nervous about e-bikes at first but took to right away 👍😎 Best to book well in advance via internet. We tried to book in person when we got to the Algarve, but the shop was all booked up.
As far as taking cash with you and traveling abroad I found that I always need to take some. Many times I’ve arrived at the airport and the ATMs don’t work. Also in France the bakeries don’t like you do use a credit card less you spend at least €10 so having some cash to pay for snacks at the bakery is good I put all the money in my money belt when I get the hotel I put it in the safe and only take out what I need for the day. Thank you for all the tips. I really enjoy the show.
My rule; think "non-travel" days. If a town isn't worth staying in for 3 nights, it's better to stay somewhere else and make that town a day trip while staying in more interesting town.
Well, as I’m traveling - ‘being green’ and ‘carbon emission’ is literally the last thing on my mind if you want ‘ be eco friendly’ you shouldn’t even leave your home in the first place

Save up your stinky socks and you can often have a compartment all to yourselves 🤣
Loving these roundtable discussions with the staff. It's lovely to hear everyone's experiences and anecdotes :)
