22 countries in 55 days - traveling alone through Europe, packed only with an Interrail ticket, a backpack and my phone to stay in touch with the people I love. This film tells the story of a seven week trip around Europe and my thoughts and feelings during some of the most formative weeks of my life.

"In the past few weeks, the world has gotten a little smaller, I think. Or maybe I've just grown." Beautiful. I can't wait to experience this.
Wow! This came on my youtube recommended and I watched it assuming it had millions of views. Incredible production quality - this deserves so much more attention
and the story told through voice notes really stuck with me. damn
So true
definitely
Agreed!!!
Yaay same here bro
Servus,.
I did a solo trip like this 2x when I was19 and 20 years old, coming from America. I always loved to travel…landed in Paris…visited about 5 Countries the first time, and then another 5 the second time…loved Germany and Austria. So many deep memories I remember today…30 years later. The food, stories, residents you meet, smells, tastes….I can remember many of them today. I always felt AT HOME when I visited. It changed my life.
Jump ahead….25 years later, I fulfilled my destiny….and we moved my entire family of wife, 6 year old daughter and 8 year old son to Southern Bavaria in the mountains.
And now my kids too get to see the World, meet the great people, Taste amazing food, experience art and history. We love it here, and kids are now 10x better off experience beautiful Europe….than the hustle, bustle, culture free America….we had committed to 2 years…and now 6 years, our kids never want to leave. Thank you Germany. Thank you Europe. People,who are here are amazing and need to realize how lucky you are to live in such a great place.
Ich Liebe dich. Danke
Sounds like a good choice you made! Greeting from your neightbour, the netherlands 😁
i’m only 17 but i dream of doing something like this one day.
Wow this inspired beyond words can express! I just came back from a semester in Italy and could relate to you so much, made tear up. Happy and encouraging to hear your story
How many days did you spent ?
This is quite literally the most romantic thing I have ever witnessed. And by romance, I don't mean the romance between two people or such. Idk how to justify my first statement, but just know that it is true.
feel the same , literally
@@zhaocunsun3293 Understandably so
I know what you're trying to say. Romance could be-romance is everywhere in the world. It's not limited to relationships.
All I can say is that this video is SO underrated. It derserve so much more! I mean the editing, the landscapes, the concept of voice messages,... I loved it, it makes me want to travel so bad !
This defenitly deserves an award for short film or documentary of some sort. You should apply it for some film festival! The whole voice messages story also gave me major ‘one day’ vibes, the movie with Ann Hathaway. Just really love this video!!
You have no idea how inspiring this is.
You've inspired me to do this. To see the world. To not be afraid. To learn that not having things under control all the time can actually be a good thing. To let go and see where the wind takes you. I will go on a trip like this one day, and I can only hope to have as much of a good time as you did.
I don't know you David, and you will never read this comment, but thank you.
"I wish I could stay but I feel like I need to keep going." I'm watching this on 1/2/22, two years since I last traveled and it rekindles my dreams for solo travel and more discoveries. Thank you for this beautiful video!!!!
Same here, I miss that feeling so much!
The music, the cinematography, the voiceovers everything is so perfect man I am sure you had a great time. Glad the youtube algorithm made me find this gem!
I met my Girlfriend interrailing last year in Italy in a hostel, I know live in Portugal, Lisbon with her 2000km away from my old home of germany and have picked up surfing and I am doing an internship that tries to promote interrailing as a sustainable eco friendly way of traveling.
So it is safe to say that interrail has completely changed my life, for the better.
Some of your voice memos resonated deeply with me, if you're ever in Portugal let me know and we will share our travel stories.
Ps: Deine Art des Filmemachens is einfach unglaublich gut, ich Habs sehr genossen mir deine Reise anzuschauen.
This was incredible. It took me back 18 years when I did the same thing. Now, I'm sitting watching with my 4 year old, my youngest child, in our quiet house in the states, remembering when I was 20 and hopped around Europe with wide eyes and a wandering spirit.
Really really enjoyed this. Very well done. Made me nostalgic for the 5 week solo train trip I took across Europe after graduating from university in 2016. Was the best experience of my life. Cheers to you and your future!
Cheers Zach! That sounds like a great experience indeed.
@@davidjablonski_ Thank you David for the video. It is so nice :) I am from Lille and I hope that you liked my city :) I am curious and I am wondering to whom were you sending all these voice messages ;P
I'm graduating soon and consider doing the same!
The shots, the storytelling through the voice messages and the background noise with no music is what makes this video beautiful. I am honestly surprise this doesn’t have a million views.
I really enjoyed it. Great job!
It just hit me so hard! There are so many possibilities and no plan is also a theme of my life now. I'm just sitting here with tears in my eyes and planning my next adventure as traveling makes me feel alive the most. I guess we all can be lost sometimes, it's good to know that you're not alone on this journey
After being on my recommended videos for a few days, I told myself, let’s give it a shot. THIS VIDEO MADE ME UGLY CRY. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!❤
David, thank you for this. :)
I did a similar thing a few years ago and this brought all the memories. The idea of sitting by the train window as the world passes by, The sense of constant detachment moving from one place to other - deeply moving. You captured it so well.!
Im planning on doing the same for 6+ months in eastern europe. Grtting an apartment and making it a slow travel rather than bagbacking type of travel. I was wondering how did you manage to budget for such a trip.
Dropped out of college myself & set off to Europe for the adventure of my life. It’s a right of passage for a youngster. I did it 35 years ago. I still am lost in such a big world. .
@@PJL7095 what are some things you can tell me About your travels. How was it in the begining?
@@houseofhas9355 ahh man… I was a college kid. Had no real plans but just to go with the flow. We got Eurrail pass & used it as our night time hotel. Try to take ferry over to Greece from Italy. Try out the French Riviera. Get down to Morocco.
Probably the best travel video I’ve watched in the past year. I loved the simple, yet communicative editing on this one. Truly beautiful sceneries and surely an adventure to do once in a lifetime!
This is INSANE! The storytelling/ concept, transitions, the raw videography, choice of music, literally everything. 🧡
You're a natural storyteller, the emotions that carried through and wove a story were so natural and could be felt, and made sense of the visuals too. There was quiet beauty in this, the slow pacing, the mood, and i love that you didnt use background music for much of this especially in the beginning.
Something about this video made my heart ache on so many levels. I miss travel, for a start, but I also feel a personal growth and the unique feeling of truly spending time in your own company. A beautiful video.
Ich komm immer wieder zu diesem video zurück, weil es mich so inspiriert und grade das storytelling packt mich immer wieder. Danke für dieses schmuckstück!
Just one word for you: Amazing!
Greetings from a stranger out of Amsterdam!
thank you, stranger! ☺️ happy to hear this very personal story resonates with you. and i hope to visit amsterdam again soon!
I did this too, summer of 2019. Amsterdam - Zagreb - Split - Dubrovnik - Bar - Belgrade - Sofia - Istanbul - Bursa - Ismir - Efes - Cesme - Istanbul - Budapest - Bratislava - Krakow - Berlin - Ruhrgebiet - Haarlem. 8 weeks total.
It's genuinely best video I've ever watched on TH-cam and the first time I even think of to writing a comment !
Such an inspiring content narrated the best way with the voicemails... More than a travel video this is such a great short movie you made here David! Thanks for the show
This is absolutely stunning!! Incredibly well made, I have not seen anyone use this idea to show their journey. The fact you used very private voice memos to tell this story, linked with images from your train journeys towards whatever destination. As a viewer it gives this feeling of the fast landscapes, the empty feeling traveling can give, but also the beauty of being a solo traveler. The way you become to love the scenery, and how wonderful it can be to be alone, just because one is alone does not mean you're lonely. In the beginning, we often feel lonely, and the urge to stay somewhere comfortable is present, but the urge to keep going is stronger. You might not have said it like this, but this is how I heard your messages, linked together with the footage you showed us. Really well made, I really enjoyed watching this, back to end.
I am just starting to learn how to film, and don't think I could format such, it must have taken you a lot of time to edit all this together. Just, well done. :) My compliments!.
i just casually came across this video by chance and it made my day. What a beautiful way to express the feeling of travelling
This was INCREDIBLE!!! It's been in my watch later for quite some time and I so happy I'm finally sitting down to enjoy it. Your editing and choice of voice messages was sublime! This was an experience - thank you for taking us along ❤
wow, I'm solo inter-railing right now and you expressed all the feelings I'm feeling. Except I'm feeling reallyyyy lonely right now. but I really relate with the fact that the beautiful landscapes don't feel real and they feel like you're dreaming.
'I think whatever happens we'll be okay'
these voice memos man…i'm crying…
I am emotional. Thank you for making this, it's lovely. I think genuinely, this inspires me even more to save up and do a trip like this myself
Crying. Why is the beauty of the world when one travel sooo touching? And these songs... Oh boy. Great video
This should be the “Shot on iPhone” ad - thank you for making this.
Thank you for sharing your experience, this is an amazing and original storytelling. I am watching it for the 5th time in a month.
This video was just so pure and honest. Absolutely loved your work🌻
What a incredible video, I love it, thank you for sharing a bit of your experience!
What a marvelous video, thank you for taking us along 😊
This was an amazing journey, I've enjoyed every single second of the video.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
Beautifully done. Brings back memories of when I did a similar trip across Europe as a student. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Ich habe lang nicht mehr so ein schönes Video gesehen. Ich hatte Gänsehaut, war berührt, hab mich beim Lächeln erwischt weil es einfach so schön ist. Gleichzeitig auch so schön und intim solche sprachnachrichten und eine nebenstory mitzubekommen. Danke für dieses Video! Es hat mich sehr inspiriert diesen Sommer auch zu interrailen:)
This is an absolute masterpiece! Thank you for putting it together and sharing!⭐
this vid made me considering interrail and dig more into it..thanks for this wonderful thing
David, you're truly talented! Thank you for this inspiring video. ❤️
This makes me so happy. Thank you so much for making this
This was truly so beautiful. Loved everything about this video. You capture the essence of traveling so well and I hope to see more of your content soon!
this made me cry. :) thank you for making this. I am even more excited for my euro trip now!
The journey, the style, the footage, the feels! Amazing video. I hope you make more of this 🔥
This video feels like before sunrise
i loved thiss!
it's like i watched a documentary on netflix omg 🤍
Really enjoyed this short film of yours, David! I hope the trip/adventure/journey has grown you as a person. Looking forward to seeing more!
Crazy adventure told in such candid and vulnerable way. Thanks for telling this beautiful story :). Masterpiece.
from views to narration, all natural... i love watching... u really walk us through..thank you 😉
Thank you for sharing your journey! It's an amazing video. I am too keeping my voice messages from my travels it's nice to listen to them sometimes and I think it's really creative to use them this way.
This is beautiful and inspirational. I needed this and TH-cam recommended it to me. Thank you for this masterpiece
Your thoughts are so raw, I really enjoyed watching. Thank you for taking us with you on your journey.
Probably the best video I've ever seen on TH-cam
What a wonderful film. Thanks for this, I appreciate it a lot.
Words can never describe how Capturing and Beautiful this is. Thank you for sharing this to the world!
This was really beautiful David. Brought back memories of my own Interrail trip in 2017 (definitely not as epic - did Spain and France). Loved every bit of this. Thanks!
this was beautiful! my girlfriend and I are doing a very similar Europe trip so i was really touched by this. I'm now looking forward to the trip even more. Great video !
The greatest video on TH-cam. I found this while planning a eurail trip to Europe with my wife and I will share it with everyone I know. God bless you David. Well done.
I watch a lot of travel videos and such. This is absolutely one of the best I’ve ever seen or experienced. I love traveling Europe quite a bit. It was great seeing several of the cities I’ve experienced again along with many I am waiting to get to. I think what made your story so compelling is that you shared just enough of your search for “something” that it draws viewers into the journey. I found myself cheering for you and completely understanding the quest you were on. I watched it twice and then shared it with a fellow explorer. I hope there is more to come for you. Wishing you the best.
I feel so much love and feel a deep connection watching your video. Wonderful messages and human
This really is phenomenal! Extremely well-done editing, story-telling, and audio work. Enjoyed watching it all!
Just beautiful! Thank you David
What an uplifting and beautiful video! So positive!
This is so so beautiful and so wonderfully told. ❤️
Thanks for taking us with you on that trip!
I hope you and Luisa are together and happy 😉
Really appreciate this editing and vlogging style! Makes me feel calm instead op hyped by all fast passing shots and musics. Great trip.
This was one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen! The productional value was incredible, the idea was very unique and the story was so calming and sensitive I almost cried!
What a great video. Absolutely love the creativity. So glad this was suggested, I’m commenting before it’s even done.
I want to try this few years from now! And I hope I can document like this as much. Thanks David for the preview of what is it like to travel in Europe for couple of months.
How you shot the video and presented it to us is so amazing i can't put it into words. Thank you ❤️
Thos solo wandering video has defenatly convinced me to go soon on a big interrail adventure.
This is art through video, with a back story that brings you in and makes you care. Very good!
i saw your video in my recommended a few weeks ago but then the page refreshed and i lost it since then i was wondering about it. today i found it again i am really glad i did. i loved your video!!! beautifully captured the story telling is everything. just amazing ✨ grüße aus deutschland 😊
Oh man! This is one of the best travel video I‘ve seen lately. Feels like I travelled with you David.
I’ve been travelled to Europe before but don’t have a chance to record each moments. Thanks to your video, reminiscing my precious memories there. Love your video!
I love everything about this video, the pace, the voice messages, the way you shot it. It makes me wanna go on an adventure. I also travelled by train in Norway and I love it, it's magical
Can't comprehend how beautiful and poetic this is! So raw and honest and definitely the best video I've watched on TH-cam in a long time :)
This is so beautiful. Love the music, cinematography, the quietness, overall vibe and everything. I want more videos like this.
This video was a pleasure to watch and listen!
Really glad this popped up on my recommended. This is the type of content that's such a breath of fresh air. Just you, a camera, and voice notes. VERY inspiring stuff David!
The concept of this video is so so so cool. Congrats, it's great🥺😍
This video was lovely, the voice messages made it unique! I hope you had a beautiful trip and it's important to remember that being alone doesn't necessarily means feeling lonely
So awesome. I’ve been watching vlogs to see all the places I miss, and want to go, and stumbled across this. Pulling on my heart strings, beautifully done, inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to make this and share it.
I love how you travel, and I listen to all your commentaries, I hope to visit Vienna one day soon!
David, this is such a cool idea. Thank you for the video you shared with the world!
Really love these kind of travel diaries, super inspired to do it myself and know that theres always someone in the same kind of headspace all around the world.
So much work was put into this, you deserve more subscribers and views
Great job on this video! Love the way you use the voice messages, the music and the videos to really capture the feelings of your trip! 👏🏻👏🏻😃 It’s a beautiful video.💜
what an amazing video!! so inspirational. i’ve wanted to interrail for so long now after this video i think i need to even more!! thank you for sharing!!
It was nice to see couple of towns from my homeland Finland and the video was very relaxing and well made.
solo travel is a blessing and shouldn't be ignored
Hey David. I want to thank you to bring us with you on this journey. It really felt so special. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this, idk why but I love this video, your journey ❤
I hope someday can doing solo travelling like yours 🙏😊
I’ve got chills. I would love to do this someday. I have got so much respect for you. Amazing that you made all of these memories, while traveling by train in such a short period of time. The video is amazing! Thanks for making this
Wow - what a beautiful film! And the fact that it was captured on an iPhone... *mind-blowing*
I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved this. Thank you it was a true pleasure to watch
you arrived back where it began...but a lot richer in experience. You will in years to come remember the mood and feelings you had during this voice messages...very well done with great editing!
This was so beautiful!!!
This has to be the best travelogue I've ever seen. Poetic, pictorially wonderful, professionally edited, music with a fingertip feeling and this slightly melancholic text through voice mail. Brilliant.
