Travelling is not a box checking exercise! Yes yes yes! I always say the same!
Personally, I get car sick on busses and prefer trains. Taking other forms of transport than plane can be fun (for sure more sustainable). when you enjoy the forms of travelling, then the journey plays a real part of the trip, it’s no longer just about the destination it’s a dedication and more than “just a trip”.
I'm team train! There could be some deals locally for train like you said, and if you have the time to travel slowly and spontaneously. Check out Deutschlandticket if you're traveling in Germany, it allows unlimited train ride (except for fast speed trains) for 49€ a month. It's a subscription model though so you got to cancel quickly after it starts ;) I'm envious, this kind of slow traveling and living like the locals is my favorite kind!

Enjoy your travel adventure!
This “It’s about experiencing the people, not checking places off a list” is the whole reason why I travel too.
Anything that smells “bucket list” to me is a big no haha, and as you say it’s not a holiday… this type of travelling is a lifestyle design of sorts!
So excited to get to tag along, did you decide where the first stop is?

This is great! We haven't really looked into this (and, I admit, we fly too much, but we're trying hard to be better). Thanks!
Do you intend to share your itinerary with traced maps and case-in-point learnings from the ground?
Being returns of experience, encounters with individuals sharing the same path as you, etc.
