Jag är Johan, en expert på tågresor med 5+ års erfarenhet av den europeiska tågindustrin. Jag har utforskat kontinenten i stor utsträckning med tåg, från det isiga norra Sverige till Polens avlägsna delar, 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 tågreseföretag. Mitt uppdrag är att hjälpa resenärer att navigera i Europa med tåg med förtroende, lätthet och en touch av äventyr.
