Behind the Scenes: The Planning Chronicles

Remember, you hate planning... so Daniel did it all. Here's what that looked like: 📝😅

18.04.2024

"Planning the itinerary (just the first day...). Already sitting here for 4h"

22.04.2024

"Booking interrail and accommodation via video call"

23.04.2024

"Reservation madness. Already lost 4 legs"

24.04.2024

"Aaaaаhhh Reisezentrum and hotline calls to reserve TGV seats"

25.06.2024

"finished throwing up"

But it was all worth it! 🎉 Because now you get the adventure without any of the planning stress! 😄

The Journey

An epic train adventure across Northern Europe... if we survive Germany's punctuality!

📍

Praha

Where our adventure begins! Our starting point in your beautiful city.

📍

Berlin

Quick stop before the main event... The real challenge: Can German trains actually run on time? 🤔

Spoiler: All European trains are punctual except German ones!

🌙

Nattåg | Night Train

Hamburg → København → Stockholm

This is where the magic happens:

Cozy reading together while the train rolls north 📚
Swedish landscape from the train restaurant 🍽️
Watching the environment slowly transform (way better than flying!)

Remember Italy? You took the boring flight, I took the amazing train. This time, we do it together! ❤️

🏛️

Stockholm

The gateway to Swedish wilderness and adventures!

✨

Further North...

The real destinations: Deep Swedish forests perfect for hiking 🌲, countless öar (islands) to explore 🏝️, and wherever the Northern Lights are waiting for us! 🌌

Will we get lost in Stockholm's archipelago? Will Daniel survive his bear anxiety? Will Mariana tolerate the long train rides? Probably not... but that's what makes it an adventure! 😄

Like Three Men in a Boat, but with more trains and fewer boats!

Why Sweden?

🌌

The Unfinished Chapter

4 years in Sweden as a teenager.
0 Northern Lights seen.

This time: We're finishing what you started!

No clouds. No trees blocking the view. Just us and the aurora borealis.

📷

Perfect for Your Analog Camera

Swedish landscapes, endless forests, Northern Lights, midnight sun...

Every frame will be worth developing! Your analog camera will love this.

📚

Cozy Reading Moments

Long train rides = perfect reading time

Camping under Nordic skies = perfect reading time

Swedish cafés = perfect reading time

Basically: lots of cozy reading! ❤️

🦌

Wildlife Adventures!

Mariana: Elks are majestic! 😍

Daniel: ... um... hopefully we don't meet any bears? 😰

Daniel's bear fear level: 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻/5
But for you, I'll be brave! (Maybe.)

🌲

Nature Everywhere

Endless forests, pristine lakes, mountains, wilderness...

Everything you love about nature, but MORE of it!

⛺

Camping Under the Stars

This time: No clouds, no trees blocking the view!

Just infinite Nordic sky and (hopefully!) dancing green lights.

Second attempt at showing each other the universe! ✨

About Those "Long" Train Rides... 🚂

Marianka, I know, I know... you don't love super long train journeys.

But hear me out! This isn't just a long train ride. This is:

✨ A slow journey through changing landscapes (watch Czechia turn into Germany, then Denmark, then Sweden!)
📖 Hours of uninterrupted cozy reading time together
🍽️ Train restaurant with Swedish views (way better than airplane food!)
🌙 A night train where you can sleep through the boring parts
🎯 The journey IS part of the adventure (not just getting from A to B)
❤️ Time together without phones, without distractions, just us and the tracks ahead

Plus, after Germany's train delays, the Swedish trains will feel like time machines! 😄

Remember Spain? 🇪🇸

You said long train rides aren't your thing... but look how amazing our Spain adventure was! ✨

The epic route: Through France to Spain and back to Praha 🗺️

Ready for adventure in Aachen (with way too much luggage!) 🎒

Okay, the train food wasn't great... but eating together while watching the landscape? Priceless! 🥧

This is what it's all about: Hiking in beautiful nature! 🥾

Including "Der Alte Mann und das Meer" - perfect train reading material 📚

The reward: Mountains, nature, and us together ❤️

That Spanish coastline though... 🌊

Night train back to Praha: Snacks, smiles, and memories made 🚂

Spain was magical. Sweden will be even better. 🇸🇪✨

Same trains, same adventures, same us... but with Northern Lights! 🌌

Ready for the Adventure?

Spring or summer 2026? You choose! ☀️🌸

I'll handle all the planning (because I know you hate it! 😄)

I'll book the Interrail tickets once you pick the perfect time.

To finally seeing the Northern Lights together,
To camping under clear Nordic skies,
To reading cozy in trains,
To adventures with you,
To completing your Swedish chapter... ✨

With love,
Daniel ❤️

Happy 27th Birthday, Marianka! 🎂🎉

Happy 27th Birthday, Marianko!
