I'm Johan, a rail travel expert with 5+ years of experience in the European train industry. I've explored the continent extensively by train, from the icy north of Sweden to the far reaches of Poland, gaining first-hand knowledge of routes, rail networks, and hidden gems along the way. Before launching this site, I led the development of the booking platform at TrainPlanet, one of Scandinavia’s leading rail travel companies. My mission is to help travelers navigate Europe by train with confidence, ease, and a touch of adventure.
