Fien railed across Europe with the Interrail pass she won through DiscoverEU

Through DiscoverEU, Fien won an Interrail ticket that allowed her to travel through Central Europe. She participated in several meet-ups organised for DiscoverEU travellers and met many other young people from all over Europe. Fien was also among the lucky ones to get a plane ticket to Iceland through DiscoverEU. So she experienced a whole DiscoverEU summer! She talked about her experiences during the Club Talks at the Go Strange Event in Belgium.

Through DiscoverEU, you can travel alone or with a group of up to five friends. For many young people, it is their first time travelling alone. Fien had already done some travelling with her parents, but alone was different. For her, it was a fantastic experience and a boost to her self-confidence.

Those who win a ticket through DiscoverEU can also participate in meet-ups organised especially for DiscoverEU travellers. These meet-ups are completely free and often even include an overnight stay in a hostel or hotel. This allowed Fien to travel smoothly on a budget of €50 a day. She participated in three meet-ups and met young people from all over Europe.
