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 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.

@user-mk5vj5bf3j 2 года назад

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.

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.

@mrrit 2 года назад

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 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.
