"For 15 years, I've devoted my life to riding and writing about railways. Addicted to the thud of wheels, the buzz of chattering strangers and the thrill of dawn arrivals, it was only natural that I would want to initiate my two daughters, aged eight and six."
"What was the point of taking scenic rides while staring at a screen? As the children each packed a small backpack containing precious knick-knacks including giraffe Legami pens, cone shells and loom bands, they stared mournfully at their iPads."
"They conked out on the sleeper from Paris to Vienna and by morning were ready for a Wiener schnitzel class at the cookery salon of Wrenkh, a restaurant run by brothers Karl and Leo Wrenkh."
A mother, passionate about railways, takes her two daughters on a tech-free European adventure using an Interrail Global Pass. They travel from London to cities like Vienna, Rome, and Paris, aiming to bond without screens. Despite initial reluctance from the children, who miss their iPads, the journey includes engaging activities like games and cooking classes. The experience emphasizes the joy of travel and connection through shared moments, away from technology.
