The Alternative to Alternative Travels

June 17, 2008 - PRLog -- Thinking of backpacking round Thailand, hitchhiking through Australia or trekking the Machu Picchu trail?  Or finding yourself on a white-sand beach whilst they braid your hair and polish off your henna tattoos?  …All rather cliché, no?

Now there are so many “citizens of the world” that being the definitive "traveller-one" of your group is near impossible; the travelling trend is peaking and the once exotic hidden-gem destinations have lost their shine – MacDonald’s has arrived and Starbuck’s is on its way.

Finding spiritual enlightenment has become commonplace and the 21st century travellers are looking elsewhere for a means of adventure. What is more, there’s already one alternative which stands out amongst the rest and it doesn’t involve a once-weekly, hole-in-a-bucket shower…


Europe


With so much variety in such a small place, in Europe it is possible to see 700 wonders of the world without having to take a multitude of long, shakey and somewhat precarious flights…Or in fact without having to take any flights whatsoever.

Eurorail passes are allowing spirited explorers to travel through this gloriously diverse continent both economically and flexibly.  After enjoying a stylish weekend in Milan, Paris or London, the new-new-age travellers can go on to appreciate the more simple things of life – the great food, picturesque scenery and down to earth atmosphere boasted by the charming towns of Portugal, Belgium and Spain.  Even outside of the cosmopolitan cities and fairy-tale towns, there lies an immeasurable amount of travel options – skiing, sunning and mountaineering to name just a few – Europe has it all.

Train travel is the ideal selection for a European tour given the fact that it is economic, it offers a great degree of flexibility and thanks to the comfort of Euro rail, it allows passengers to recharge their batteries in between stops.  

For those who find themselves lucky enough to have a break from school, college or work, exploring Europe by train would be an immensely rewarding way to spend the free time.  Not only would the traveller be able to take on exciting opportunities such as language learning but their eyes would be most certainly opened to a continent full to the brim of history, culture and exhilarating prospects – both professionally and personally.
