Living in some cities in Europe is so expensive that many alternatives can be more affordable than renting in a capital. We have already seen how, thanks to teleworking, many people have decided to return to their town or to more affordable places, finding more affordable ways of life.
Personally, I told my story about how I was a digital nomad living in cheap cities, which allowed me to work fewer hours to live and have a lot of free time to study languagespostgraduate studies and volunteering or traveling with a backpack to new countries.
Today we learned the story of a very young computer programmer who lives traveling on a train and who told that your experience, on wheels, with your PC, is very cheap.
He is Lasse Stolley, a German boy who travels about 1,000 km a day crossing Germany from one place to another, thanks to the trains of the German railway network and in first class, so you can sleep comfortably on the trains and with an annual pass, the so-called BahnCard 100, which allows you to use this transport unlimitedly. The cost of your ‘accommodation’ on wheels: 5,888 euros for your student discount.
A website telling your experience
Stolley has created a website to tell what it is like to live on a train. Although it must be said that she does not update her blog much. She says life is pretty intense. She made a summary of last year 2023 and there she says that in the spring of last year she had to stop living in the middle due to a foot operation.
In an interview with Business Insider, he said that he is deciding where to go on the fly. Depending on your mood and the weather. He divides the day by working and using his free hours to discover new cities and towns in his destinations.
He has been doing this since the summer of 2022, when he was 16 years old and says that his parents were against it. He spends about 10,000 euros a year, between the cost of the annual subscription, food (which he usually buys in supermarkets) and the entrance to museums, swimming pools where he explains that it is where he showers or for small expenses such as clothes that you need. He tells it in this post.
He says that the most important thing for him to work is your laptop and your noise canceling headphonesto work without listening to the other passengers and the hustle and bustle of the train.
