Adventures of a railway nomad
One August morning the author I walked out of her Seville home taking nothing but a small, roll-aboard bag, a EuRail pass, and her husband.
They traveled with no fixed time limit, no reservations, and only a loose idea of their itinerary. Their goal? To see if they could still have the kind of spontaneous adventures they had enjoyed in their youth.
They spent three months on trains, mostly in Eastern Europe, and the results – often hilarious, occasionally harrowing, definitely life-changing – form the basis of this book!
