In early February, I went on a two-week trip to Europe, on a mission to travel to six countries — including four of them by train.
Here are three major mistakes I made along the way, and what you can do to avoid them.
While some train rides — like the one from Venice to Rome on the Italian train company Trenitalia — were empty, others were packed.
Many European train routes have multiple stops, and passengers simply get on and off the train.
At boarding, hundreds of passengers scrambled for a seat, while I struggled to hoist my massive bag up the train.
