Mainly travelling to/from Austria, Italy and France. Secondarily, Germany, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
I am based in Austria, and my focus will be on long-distance travel, but I will offer all kinds of tips for local and regional trains, from ways to reduce prices to the most beautiful routes.
Il Settebello (ETR 300), called "The King of Italian Elegance", created in 1952.
Because sometimes I just need a (more or less) random reason to travel, I'll do the same for you. With the disclaimer that I prefer to live like a local most of the time, at least when I stay more than a weekend, here's the farmers' market from Cannes, Marché Forville.
(I might add as a reply at some point.)
Wow! I never said this, but this is an awesome snowplough!

Also, from January 15 to January 25, there's the Lights Festival of Lucerne (LILU).

Not my video, but I liked it so I had to research a bit to find out where it is from, and I want to share. (DB fan here)
