Hello Wolter,
This question is completely unrelated to this video, however, felt that commenting on your most recent video would be the best way to contact you (Loved this video as well.
My friend and I are going away for three nights in the middle of December. We have narrowed our options down (through watching your videos) to either Krakow or Prague (We haven't been to either. Both 25 years old and enjoy exploring during the day - looking at sights and taking in the culture and then going to a few pubs and bars in the evening and socialising with the locals and other travellers.
Could you please give us your opinion on where you think we should book as we really can't decide.
Thank you very much.
Love your Videos! :)

A couple of tips when on a TGV:
1- if the TGV has WiFi (like this one, you can connect to the WiFi to pre-order from the bar and select a pick up time, then you have a priority line to pick up your order
2- on a TGV Duplex (2 decks, the bathroom downstairs are much larger, especially the one that are design for wheelchair users (everybody can use them)
3- on a Duplex you have a better view from the top deck, but if you easily get sick, the bottom deck is extremely stable (being basically at axle eight)
3- at 6: 25 the blue TGV behind you is a low cost OuiGo, that could be an alternative at a lower price, but no services on board (the legroom is good though)
; -)

That was 2nd class? Boy will you be disappointed if you travel on our long distance trains here in Sydney Australia. No power to plug into and no pull down blinds to block the sun. Very small bathrooms. I am referring to 1st class seats. I would like a honest review from you so please try our trains sometime in the future.

As a regular traveller on TGV's I have to say that they are the best mode of transport when travelling in France. It's fast, reliable, comfortable and not too expensive if you book in advance. It's the perfect way to enjoy the scenic landscapes of France while travelling at up to 300km/h!

I am loving your travel day style videos. It gives us a real insight and gives us realistic tips to use. For example on our last night in Copenhagen we packed in late afternoon so we could leave super last minute. plus having Jocelyn do more videos is amazing. Keep it up. Xxx

When you book your ticket, you can choose the level you want to be on. If you only have hand luggage, it doesn't matter but if you have multiple bags or a large one, I highly recommend booking to go on the lower deck. The higher deck does have better views though

Excellent, your tips take the worry out of different forms of travel - you make it look easy! I know we just gotta get out there and try new things, but seeing this takes away any initial fears. Keep up the informative videos on family travel

I used to rent a car to drive between French cities but because I have come to hate Frances toll road system we have started going by train and renting a car at our destination. So much nicer. i do everything I can to avoid those damn toll roads.

TGV (OuiTGV) are way more expensive than OuiGo (low cost TGV. OuiGo go the same pace as TGV but are less flexible. But you can save a lot of money. For instance a Paris-Bordeaux Ouigo costs 20 euros to 70 euros.

Hello, a trick from a frequent TGV traveller (for work: -(. If you need more room at the toilets, go to the bottom floor. The toilets there are almost weel-chair accessible. Nice vid. by the way. Best.
