This trip will be an adventure of a kind mixed with trains and buses. We will meet in Athens, go to Thessaloniki by train. From Thessaloniki we will have bus trips to Skopje (MKD), Belgrad (SRB) and Zagreb (CRO) during the day. From Zagreb we will take the direct night train that goes back to my home country Austria (it runs until Zurich btw). Before this trip starts I will be in Iraklion, Crete and will take the Ferry to Athens. So I am open for activities already before in case you want to start from there.

I am Greg, my friends call me travelGreg as I travel a lot. I work for travel companies as a freelancer but also love traveling myself of course. Within Europe I mainly use trains as I like the principle of "slow traveling". I am an outgoing person, always up for a beer and good conversations. I like to spend evenings in a bar or common areas as I believe conversations are much more valuable than clubbing (which I hate by the way). The best conversations are the funny ones which bring people together and are often useless :-) Days with me won't be packed with activities as I like time to chill every now and then, visit a Café and hang out before making plans for the next big thing. I'd love to hear from you, what your plans are and how you would like to travel. I think we can work something out together if parts of the plan are not a hundred percent what you expected!

I will take your privacy serious, so just let me know and I will work out a private room for you. When it makes sense, I also don't mind sharing a room, but probably not throughout the whole trip. If you need private washing facilities, please also let me know. Expect middle-budget accommodation. Please let me know what your preferences are, I am flexible! What I know from experience is to use high-class hostels or good B&Bs with open common areas where people meet. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!
