Frequently asked questions

What will be your first stop?

I’m never quite sure what to consider as my first stop. My first train change will be in Brussels, but I suppose that doesn’t count. Cologne, same story: only changing trains. But then I will spend the night in Berlin! However, I won’t get to visit the city since I’ll have to leave very early the next day to catch my train to Warsaw. There I will spend the afternoon, now that should be enough to be considered as a stop, right?

Will you make all your reservations before leaving?

I booked all my trains and hostels for the first five weeks, which is the time I will take to get from Brussels to Beijing. I did so because it is such a long distance to cover with so many train rides; I don’t want to spend that time waiting for the next available train or looking for a place to stay after a twelve hour train ride. After Beijing, the distances will be slightly shorter so from there I will just go with the flow.

Are you going alone?

Yes! Not because I don’t have the choice but because I really feel like going on my own adventure. (Yes, yes, I promise to be careful.)
