I spontanously booked my 60 day Global Pass this morning and now I'm in a random train to France. Let's set a counter trend to all this super duper perfectly planned Interaillers, who know theire whole trip, activities and spending a year in advance. If I fuck up finding a hostel, I have my sleeping bag and a hammock, it will work out eventually :D
I've never been on an Interrail trip yet, but I plan to go on one, maybe in 2022... Probably I will focus on Northern European countries like Norway or Sweden, as this is a region I've never been to before and which looks amazing on pictures. Thanks for explaining the costs, this helped a lot for planning :) I'm a bit unsure how much reservations would be in total, but I think I wouldn't spend too much on other things, as I also like to go from museum to another, for what Interrail is perfect I guess :D
Reservations on trains? I only spend 30 euros because i reserved n Italy and France and then just chanced it for the rest of the trip. I hope that helps :) and I hope you get to go in the future, fingers crossed for you !
Wow, we just came to your channel from Nathaniel Drew’s comment section (we also recently started a UA-cam channel) and love your vibe! We definitely have the travel bug and hope to be able to travel again soon! Doing an interrail is definitely on our list! Keep up the great work and hope we can cross paths one day or maybe even collaborate on UA-cam, if it ever makes sense! ☺️💛
Oh wow thank you for such a sweet comment! I just checked out your channel too and we have a similar vibe, nice! You should 100% Interrail/Eurrail as soon as travel restrictions stop. It's the best way to see a lot in a short time and it gives you a taste of different countries so you know which ones you wanna see again. Good luck for your channel :)
@@LucyAlllan it's rainy here but I am good and how about you? :) Which camera you use for your videos and which microphone? You inspire myself to start a UA-cam channel 😄❤️
@@llouiselleslie haha don't worry I thought the same thing. Actually every train conductor I showed just knew what it was and was chill, maybe they will ask for your passport to match the name on it with you ID. If it's a train in Italy or France you have to normally get a seat reservation before so they will give you a proper ticket :)
i think if you really want you can basically travel for “free”. Especially accommodation….you don’t have to stay at a hostel every single night since couch-surfing is a thing. You can make friends this way and immerse yourself more in to the culture. I am still surprised by the price of your interrailing… cause it seems like too much.
I don't understand your calculation for the accommodations, because 6 weeks have 42 days and 42 times 25€ are already 1,050€ for accommodations. Did I understand something wrong?
prices go up and down depending on where you at in Europe! this was my cost for the 6 weeks but the average price per night was normally around 25euros. That being said, I had some hostels at only 10 euros
Question: I'm an English guy, I know very little of any other language. I'm concerned about that. How much do I need to worry and what are the best ways to deal with it?
It’s all up to you! If you want to learn a language, I recommend! But English is such a useful language so I wouldn’t worry about it if you aren’t travelling much or living abroad 😌
I'd be tempted to learn the complete basics of a few languages like French, Italian, German, Russian obviously depending on where you are spending your time. English is language quite a lot of people know as a second language across Europe. So if you don't know the language, the locals will probably know enough English for you to have a conversation with them. However, my dad once told me that the locals will seriously appreciate if you are at least trying to speak a little bit of their language and making an effort. Though once he said that this angry dude started shouting at him saying to not even attempt to speak their language as they would just be making a complete mockery out of it. But that was just on one occasion.
Hi! Thank you for your tips, it's really helpful to find out about other people's experiences with interrailing. I wanted to ask you, how did you get to interrail twice? I've heard you can only do it once in a lifetime. Or was it a special edition?
Hey! Thank you so much😌 so you can interrail at any time and any age, but DiscoverEU is a competition where you get the interrail ticket for free so you can only do that at 18! I’m actually going a 3rd time this summer lol😎
I got nothing to do with Interrail(Since I'm from India) but your camera is amazing. I'll say do visit India when everything settles. I hope we get through this 💫
I checked your pictures that you recently posted on ig , I guess that they're clicked from Fuji XT-4 , the colors look so vibrant and basically they're amazing !!
@@LucyAlllan Yeah that's amazing 👍. Okay just wanted to ask one thing . Like that camera costs ~around 1000 € there and here in India , it costs around 1.2 Lakhs Rupees (120000). So , basically for us 1 Lakh is a lot in monetary terms (obviously most people can afford this but middle class people have to think twice before spending this much money over anything). So do people there also feel the same ? Is a 1000 € a normal thing or a big amount to spend ? I hope you answer this , I've been thinking of this alot .
So i’m going to interrail next year for 2 months (April, May). I want to travel Eastern Europe and a little bit southern/western. How much money do you think I need to have before I go? Because I have no idea how much to spare😬
Sure but you would have to pay for the private room! Or if it’s a 4 bed dorm (for example) and you are four people, you can email the hostel and ask to have the same room and to yourselves :)
Hey thank you for your informative videos! ❤ I have a question though. When did you reserve the seats for like France and Italy and stuff? Like how much before you got on the train? Because my friend and I are not sure if we should reserve those seats like 2 months prior to traveling or if that’s unnecessary.
Hey Lucy! Thanks for the video! Super helpful. I'm curious about reservations on fast trains in Poland and have found little to no info on the internet. You've commented in a couple videos about how in Eastern Europe reservations are less important, but the app says you need them in Poland. But, the app won't let me book any reservations in Poland, no matter when I look to book. Thoughts or suggestions?
@@LucyAlllan oh okay:) i actually wanna do it on my interrail trip :) i think its just important that you really take some time for choosing your Host anyways I‘m pretty excited:)
Great Video, one question how is it possible to get a six week trip with DiscoveryEU. I did only find these for four weeks. And do you had extra costs for the interrail ticket, because you listed it in your costs but normaly with DiscoveryEU it has to be free, shouldn't it?
always on hostelworld (i have a link in the description) and I just set the bar to cheapest-most expensive and I try to find one that has a good rating and doesn't cost too much :)
Hey Guys! a lot of you have asked where I stayed and how I booked it.I book my travel accommodation with hostelworld: prf.hn/l/6kb0vX2

Enjoyed the transparency, I am sure it will help other people eager to try interrail :)

If you're going to Sweden for the scenery, you should go on the Västerås-Ludvika line, the scenery is great there
I generally budget €30 a day excluding transport & accommodation.
yeah depending on the city 30 euros is great, but I found that in a lot I was only spending 10-15 euros (if i wasn't eating at restaurants)

u so cool, thanks for the tips. help alot. x
What do you think about sleeping in the trains? So you don't need to buy accomodation at a hostel, of maybe do It only dome days
I did it twice and it was fine! It's a long night but as long as you do your 4pm naps you'll be fine!
Thanks Elle Fanning for the insight ahah
Thank u for this!
Thank you for watching! If you have any other questions about Interrail, I am here to help :)
Where do you want to Interrail?
Personally, I would love to spend more time travelling through Germany and Austria!
Slovenia for sure! Although, I'd like to discover Northern countries as well :)
@@mimuqod Denmark and Norway is a must!
I'd like to go to any central european country. I think they're all beautiful and full of history and culture
Switzerland, for sure. But use a hotel or hostel outside the country. eg French part of Geneva or Basel.
Very informative!
Top tip. Do not stay at an A&O hostel. If you like squalor, then sleep in a bus shelter.
ohhh A&O hostels? What's up with them? I actually don't know if I have ever stayed in one
@@LucyAlllan You would only do it once. It is cleaner to sleep on the floor.
Thank you for letting me know, where do they have most of their hostels? West or East Europe?
@@collynkieranmclaughlan6983 Germany, Austria, Switzerland

@@LucyAlllan thank you
@@LucyAlllan so in terms of interrailing all across Europe is English the most useful language? And which other(s)?
@@maxburnett4389 Probably English, French, Spanish and German :) But if you are travelling you can get away with the basics :)

There’s a non EU version called Eurrail which you could try then! Same thing just less discounts :)
Yeah it’s the Fujifilm X-T4! It’s really such an amazing camera, so much to learn but the payoff is incredible

ik that question is completely out of context but I'm curious to know and I just found a right person to ask so!!
So i’m going to interrail next year for 2 months (April, May). I want to travel Eastern Europe and a little bit southern/western. How much money do you think I need to have before I go? Because I have no idea how much to spare😬
Budget around 2k euros
you have the black hole Patagonia bag in the thumbnail, how would you rate it? I'm thinking of getting the 32L to go interrailing with this year
I loveee, but one thing to note: there is no waist strap which can hurt your back if your bag is heavy.
Hi! I have a little question, if i want to stay at a hostel with a friend, will we be able to have our own room? Without any other people?
Sure but you would have to pay for the private room! Or if it’s a 4 bed dorm (for example) and you are four people, you can email the hostel and ask to have the same room and to yourselves :)

if you are going in summer, book 4weeks in advance for western european trains, most eastern trains won't need a reservation either!
@@LucyAlllan okay thank you so much!
Was the €1500 just for the essentials without all the activities??
No it was everything from flights, to spending money to the ticket and activities :)
Oh ok I just got a bit confused cause you said the total cost was €2030 at the end of the video?
@@nammiepam that's it converted into Euros :) I am from the UK so i converted it from pounds to euros :)
@@LucyAlllan ohhh!! I’m so so slow sorry lol

This comment maybe be a little bit late but I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to not reserve seats in Poland so u might get fined if they catch u out 😜
Why didnt you do couchsurfing? Isn‘t it the best option for accomodation because its free and you also meet new people?
I personally don’t like the idea of it because I would be too worried each time that I had picked a bad place and I don’t know anyone who has tried it
@@LucyAlllan oh okay:) i actually wanna do it on my interrail trip :) i think its just important that you really take some time for choosing your Host
anyways I‘m pretty excited:)

And do you had extra costs for the interrail ticket, because you listed it in your costs but normaly with DiscoveryEU it has to be free, shouldn't it?
how much did u trip cost with everything
Hey! I say it at the end of the video😌
How did you find cheap hostels?
always on hostelworld (i have a link in the description) and I just set the bar to cheapest-most expensive and I try to find one that has a good rating and doesn't cost too much :)
@@LucyAlllan Thanks! İ'm planning to do interrail this summer. Wish me luck ☺️
thanks, great video!
thats way cheeper than 60 euros a day
