You’ve gotta see this!
We just can’t get over the pics rolling in from our first ever Swiss Alps trip.
The WhatsApp group is giving us major FOMO. I mean, just look at the mountains, trains, lakes… you name it. 😍
Wow, where do we even start...
Our MagRailers just wrapped up their Japan trip, and mate, what an adventure it was!
They ate sushi (and so much more yummy food), stayed in a Ryokan (check out the photo, it’s so special), made their own tempura, joined the tea ceremony…
There was even a birthday celebration in the mix 🎉
So much happened on this trip. We’ve been going through the photos and it’s got us all ready to teleport there.
Japan’s just one of those places where you can feel all the zen one minute and the next you’re in Tokyo with neon signs and vending machines that sell literally everything. 😅
But anyway, it just makes us super happy seeing our MagRailers making the most of it. 🧡
Fun in Japan! 😀
Love how fast it is, and then stops with perfect precision.
Would you give this a go? 🍣
Hi, it’s Lea from the MagRail team!
Imagine you’re on a MagRail trip and suddenly a team member shows up to say hi. ✨
That’s the magic of having teammates spread all over the Balkans - we actually get to meet our travellers along the way!
So, the past few weeks looked a bit like this:
Some lucky MagRailers got a warm welcome from Nevena in Belgrade, hung out with Ana in Split and I joined them for a walking tour in Zagreb.
And you know what? MagRailers are just the best. Fun, full of great energy, always inspiring.
Wish we could do this on every single trip!
Yep, these are all real, found them on Reddit! 😄
Now your turn… Seen any odd-but-genius things packed for a trip?
Or maybe you’ve got one of your own? We’re all friends here, feel free to share.
MagRailers, how do we feel about sleeper trains? 💤
Apparently, they’re making a big comeback in Europe.
They kind of disappeared for a while (thanks to airlines and high-speed trains), but now people are changing their minds.
Part of it’s definitely people trying to travel a bit greener these days.
But also… there’s just something cool about going zzz in one country and opening your eyes in another.
Whatever it is… we’re curious:
**Sleeper trains: yay or nay in your books?**👇
