Crossing Europe with my two teenage kids
I had a goal to travel through Europe by train with my two teenage kids. I managed to do it. Here is what happened.
Spoiler allert. We did it.
If you do not know what interail is, google it first and then get back here. I can summarize it by saying that its the most amazing and fulfilling way of travelling with your kids. Period.
A little bit about ourselves so that I can introduce the main characters of this story.
My name is Frederico and I have two kids from a previous marriage. Francisco and Alexandre. We are Portuguese.
Francisco’s age is easy to guess — he was the millennium baby in Portugal. Yes, he was born at 00:00 on New Year ’s Eve 2000. Alexandre is 18 months younger.
Before they get to the point that they can throw me in trash and visit once a year, I told myself that I had to do this. I had to pick them up and do something as crazy as seeing as many countries in 15 days as I could.
I went to interrail.eu website and checked the prices. It was not that expensive and I had a few euros on the side. I went for it. I booked three Global Passes (all you can see in 15 days straight).
