Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

Modern privacy is good for 'business' trips, but I recall good discussions with strangers on old-fashioned sleepers, if the evening is long enough.
As the lines get faster the distance for one night should increase, not just replicate previous services.
ÖBB advance prices can be good value, but I wish they'd lower the supplements for inter-rail. We'd still use old couchettes for a family trip.
