Jag heter Johan och är expert på tågresor med över fem års erfarenhet från den europeiska tågbranschen. Jag har utforskat kontinenten grundligt med tåg, från norra Sveriges iskalla landskap till Polens yttersta hörn, och fått förstahandskunskap om rutter, järnvägsnät och dolda pärlor längs vägen. Innan jag lanserade den här webbplatsen ledde jag utvecklingen av bokningsplattformen på TrainPlanet, ett av Skandinaviens ledande företag inom tågresor. Mitt mål är att hjälpa resenärer att upptäcka Europa med tåg på ett tryggt, enkelt och lite mer äventyrligt sätt.
