    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.

    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

    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 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.

    This is art through video, with a back story that brings you in and makes you care. Very good!

    What a wonderful video! It was an absolute blast to watch and I feel like I need to watch it all over again, just to take it in one more time. You managed to capture the feeling and solitude of traveling alone so well. The editing and music choice made it even more immersive. Thank you for sharing I can't wait to start my first interrail trip in a few weeks (first trip without my beloved VW van). Mach bitte weiter so und viele Grüße aus dem Allgäu :)
