As the old saying goes, the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Well, in our travels around the world, we’re looking for the greenest grass of all. (Spoiler alert: With the right attitude, it’s everywhere!) 

 

You may have seen one of our videos on YouTube or stumbled across my photos on Instagram. We love commercial aviation, train travel, and have even recently discovered cruising! We travel A LOT and feel so fortunate to share many of our experiences with you! 

 

GreenerGrass.com highlights some of our experiences from those travels. Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel and follow me on Instagram to stay up-to-date on my travels!

 

I started traveling as a consequence of my work in the sales training industry. Back in 2015, I was on the road a lot and instead of watching television, I watched YouTube trip reporters like Dennis Bunnik, Paul “Wingin’ It” Lucas, and Sam Chui.

About Us Greener Grass.png

Whenever anyone posted a video about a flight, I’d be among the first to watch it! But, nobody was publishing a video about First Class on Air France’s A380. I really wanted to see what that experience was like for myself, so I booked a one-way ticket as a means to get to a conference I was attending in Portugal. And, that was when my first video was born!

 

Around that time, I also met Suzanne whose passion for airports exceeds even my passion for airplanes! It was love at first sight. And, even though she didn’t start appearing on the videos for a few years, you better believe she was the brains of the operation practically from day one.

 

She’s the master planner and reviews every video before we go live with it. Suzanne has a detail-orientation I can’t fully fathom!

 

Since those early days, we really haven’t looked back. Slowly, over time, as the videos got better and we received even more support from viewers like you, we were able to go fulltime. 

 

I can’t believe how fortunate we are to live our passion and share it with you! You really do make this possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Across Europe on 12 TRAINS!🚞(Orient Express for LESS?)

Across Europe on 12 TRAINS!🚞(Orient Express for LESS?)

Watch this video to see what it’s like to travel across Europe on 12 Trains from Venice to London! But instead of taking just one, we traveled on some of Europe’s most famous trains. Of course, the most well known rail link between these two cities is the world famous Orient Express. But with tickets starting at about $4,500 for just one night, we figured we’d do the Orient Express for less while making even more memories along the way. But, in order to match the five star feeling as best we could, we booked First Class accommodations every chance we got. And we’ll keep a running tally to see whether we saved money on this DIY Orient Express. We’ll also share a Train Travel Tip or three we picked up along the way so if you choose to make the same trip, you’ll have an easier time than us! Our first leg is onboard a brand new Frecciarossa 1000 high speed train! And, not only that, we’ll be in “Executive Class,” which is a true First Class Train. From there, we’ll try out Business Class on another Frecciarossa train. After that, we were on an Italian Regional Train, Tren Nord. Then, we took the world famous Bernina Express train up into Switzerland. Or at least that was our plan and this trip didn’t go according to plan! Due to a last minute cancellation, we had to take a Swiss Commuter Train instead. And we also had plenty of unexpected “replacement buses,” too! But, eventually, we reached Saint Moritz. The next travel day put us onboard the world’s “slowest express train,” the Glacier Express train from St. Moritz to Zermatt. This offered some of the most stunning scenery we’ve ever encountered from a train, but it was also almost too much. Eight hours of nonstop visual overload on Swiss Trains left us tired. But that didn’t stop us from exploring the Swiss Alps. From Zermatt, we did our best to reach Paris, but the Swiss Trains had a few more surprises in store for us! But, eventually we reached Lausanne and the TGV Lyria, which we’d booked in First Class to Paris! From Paris, we’d booked the Eurostar in Business Premier on to London. But, naturally, even our last travel day wasn’t without hitches. This was our most ambitious trip ever! And, the video started with more than five hours of raw footage, which we condensed into our longest video, yet. At 40+ minutes, it’s a risk, but we hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it! Here’s a link to more information about how we booked these trains: COMING SOON!
