Winterrail 2025/26

And so it starts! Since yesterday and until January 4th I will be travelling around Europe exclusively by train, carrying with me my lovely foldable bike.

Stops:

  • Paris (at @mario’s 💕), but also having lovely conversations with @giovannicerboni
  • Barcelona (for the yearly gathering of the youth movements in @bancaetica Italy and Spain)
  • Marseille, because going straight back to Italy was a bit too much in one go, so I will just hand out and chill.
  • Sanremo, to spend Christmas with my family (even though on 21-22 December we will be doing a full-immersion planning with the staff of @scambi)
  • Hamburg, for #39C3 😍
  • Berlin, for New Year’s Eve with @dario 💜 No energy for that any more 😢 (see below)
  • Back to Rotterdam to start XPUB’s Special Issue 29 yeeeaaaah

I will be (trying to) keep this page and this thread updated with what’s happening.

Everything is Rent

The virtual representation of the mess inside Tommi’s mind

Tommi’s mind

Leg 1: Rotterdam Centraal → Paris Nord

I slept at @mario, and I became friend with their cat Benny aka Benoit aka Benedetto, a sweet and cuddly being, even if I am allergic. I survived.

Leg 2: Paris Gare de Lyon → Barcelona Sants

Somebody was run over by a train, so got to Barcelona 2h late. Now in Plaça de Catalunya waiting for the gang from Banca Etica GenEtica.

Leg 3: Barcelona Sants → Marseille St. Charles

Caught it by 30 seconds. I am sweating so much I feel like I am swimming in my train seat. But I am here, al good.

Leg 4: Taggia Arma → Genova Piazza Principe

Back on the train, on my way to #39C3. Trenitalia is terribile with open data, so the Intercity I am on does not exist on Träwelling 😑

In the picture: isola Gallinara, SV, Italy (island)

Leg 5: Genova Piazza Principe → Milano Centrale

Continuing the trip to #39C3. Again: Trenitalia is terribile with open data, so the Intercity I am on does not exist on Träwelling 😑

I had a bit of time, so I ran to Via Balbi, where there is one of my favourite focacceria in Genova. It was closed 😢

Leg 6: Milano Centrale → Mannheim Hauptbanhof

Continuing the trip to #39C3. Again: Trenitalia is terribile with open data, so the Intercity I am on does not exist on Träwelling in the Italian side 😑

    Leg 7: Mannheim Hauptbanhof → Hamburg Hauptbanhof

    Almost at #39C3! Anyone on ICE 574? Come say hi in coach 4, seat 88, I have a free spot next to me!

    Disclaimer: I am not in top shape, I will be wearing a mask.

    Change of plans, hence change of itinerary.

    I arrived in Hamburg with 39°C of fever on the night of the 26th. I spent two days in bed, tenderly fed and cared for by @sirodoht.

    Miraculously, I managed to get back on my feet, mask up, and still enjoy the last 1.5 days of #39C3, that were just ✨✨✨

    Now, instead of going to Berlin and spend New Year’s + a few days cuddling with @dario, I decided to get straight back to Rotterdam, where I will be resting and introspecting. I want to be fully charged and physically and mentally ready to get back to class on Jan 5 🌻

    @tommi This really sucks! Glad you got 1.5 days of Congress, but still...

    Feel recovered soon 🙂
