Open up your Instagram account or log into Facebook and it won’t take long to see some photos from all around the world. An old colleague in Australia, a lad you went to school with in Prague, a friend at a wedding in Patagonia - travel, for my generation, is almost a right. An experience we are all entitled to, and encouraged to do, see the world, meet different people, experience different culture, go to the beach from The Beach, where sunscreen.

But in the context of the climate emergency, many of us are wondering how we can experience different parts of the world without reliance on high emissions travel. Many of us have given up flying, we see Greta travelling to North America in a boat, with the term Flygskam or flight shame increasingly common.

So, this summer, we wanted to try and get as far as we could with as small an impact as possible. We were heading to the Alps. And doing it all by train.

I think this saved around 400kg in emissions each way. Cost maybe a little more than flying and was maybe a little longer travel time.

This video is basically my holiday snaps, a walk in the alps, a visit to the tour, and all flight free.

What do you reckon? Would you do a train based holiday next year?!
