...This is just in the nature of a PSA for anyone interested in rail travel (in Europe and beyond), for pleasure or just to get around.
There are some online resources that are nothing to do with giant corporations, but that punch way above their weight in what they offer you... specifically because they're the day-to-day expression of one person's passion for a topic that continually engages them. The Man in Seat 61 website is one of these.
If you're interested in rail even in a general way, you ought to know about Seat 61: because what Mark Smith doesn't know about the subject is probably minor enough to not need knowing. His work's as valuable for newbie rail travelers as for those of us who've been doing this kind of travel for a while. (For example, just found out via Seat 61 that a trip that I've often done with @petermorwood for business purposes, the Zurich to Munich run, is now nearly an hour shorter than it was when we last did it. Yay!)
So if you're planning a trip*, or just interested in seeing how to get around in Europe (and various other continents as well), check out The Man in Seat 61.
*Mark's especially strong on the subject of reduced-rate rail passes, so don't miss out on the pages about those.

With Slovenia recently trending because of Eurovision and their fabulous entry, Joker Out, I wanted to promote Slovenia a bit as someone who travelled there and even before Eurovision had it as the top of my list of places to go back to. So if you’re Käärijä or someone else on the fence of going to Slovenia, you absolutely should!
We did a massive interrail trip last summer and Ljubljana and the train ride through Slovenia was a secret gem that we didn’t expect to love as much as we did! Ljubljana is the absolute cutest little city, it’s extremely pretty with lots of interesting history, a gorgeous old town.
Did I mention that the patron animal of the city of Ljubljana is a DRAGON? There’s a bridge with little dragons on either end 🐉
We took the train from Zagreb to Ljubljana and it was the prettiest journey. We missed out on seeing Lake Bled and some other cool sights in Slovenia but that’s yet another reason to go back. Ljubljana alone is totally worth visiting though - for the last nearly a year or so I’ve been chewing everyone’s ear off about how even next to Rome, Milan, and Budapest, Ljubljana was actually the secret star of our Interrail trip.
So whether or not you’re Käärijä, you might wanna visit Slovenia! 🇸🇮

Interrail? Cesty vlakem po Evropě?
Pokud vás zajímá možnost cestování vlakem po Evropě, tak zde můžeme doporučit doporučit nově vzniklý blog Michala Zlatkovského, který byl tak před 10 lety tzv. známý na internetu a v současné době nejspíš utrácí veškeré peníze za interrail jizdenky:
Informativní a dobře psaný, hodnocení 10/10 kolejových vozidel.

Τώρα που έπιασα κάποια λεφτά στα χέρια μου,
Που παιρνώ περισσότερο χρόνο με τον πατέρα μου,
Που θ’αγοράσω νέα μάτια στην γιαγιά μου να δει πως χαμογελάω όταν φτιάχνει την μέρα μου.
- Wang - Μείνε για λίγο -

IM INTERRAILING!!
Its my first day interrailing and its starting with a short stop in Paris. I’ve never been before but ohmygosh its very beautiful. I know there are people who dislike paris (i saw many people online complaining about the dirtiness of the streets?!) but i thought it was quite magnificent. And in the spring not so busy and all the flowers in bloom around the Eiffel Tower were magical.
I visited the arc de triomphe, the eiffel tower, the notre dame, and a very cute skandi cafe in the 11th arrondissement called “fauna”, coffee was DELICIOUS.
I must visit again :)
