The free 14-page guide that tells you what the booking sites won't.
Send me the free guidePlanning a European trip with trains in it? This is the guide I wish someone had handed me before my first ride — the honest Eurail math, first vs. second class, which booking apps actually work, the luggage rules nobody tells Canadians, night trains, scenic rides, your rights when things go sideways, and how it all connects to a river cruise. Written by a Canadian, for Canadians. No fluff, no jargon.

A personal note
When you're ready, I'm here
No pressure, no commission-driven pitch. Just an unhurried conversation about the river, the season, and the ship that fits where you are in life right now.
