How is this any different to someone choosing to go backpacking for a year? Or do also consider that to be incredibly stupid?

It’s pretty clear from the article he’s not doing this to save money, he’s doing because he loves travelling on trains and sees it as an opportunity for exploration and adventure. There’s nothing stupid about being curious, and brave enough to indulge that curiosity.

C'mon there is nothing brave or adventurous about it, it is just first world fancy. I'm happy he enjoys it but end of story let's not make this something special, it is not.

In your opinion. I think its pretty cool and would have loved to do this when I was 17.

I think it's brave and fancy and adventurous. It's actually pretty special, because I don't know anyone who's done this. we're all entitled to our own opinion though :)

Mhh, I disagree https://leben-im-zug.de/mein-jahresrueckblick-2023/

He seems to live a relative "adventurous". Relative in relations to other German 17 year old.

> 2023 war einfach unglaublich! Ich habe so viele neue Erfahrungen gemacht, Freundschaften geschlossen, verschiedene Orte bereist und unterschiedliche Kulturen kennengelernt. Für mich persönlich war es das beste Jahr aller Zeiten.

Sounds rad.
