Trainhopping across Europe | Part 2
Unfortunately, YouTube has once again removed a classic from my channel. Under the guise of “dangerous acts". This is the second part of my trip through Europe. The rest of the parts can still be seen on my channel for now. I am actively seeking solutions to counteract YouTube's automatic ...
Below the Salt
After riding in Africa and Asia, it was time to explore a bit more of Europe. I looked for countries that had a good train network and interesting scenery. Then I remembered Slovakia, I was there a few times, and every time I was thinking, man, I should ride here. Good trains, nice scenery and the r...
Trainhopping across Tunisia
Here we go! The full quality, original video. From now on I will upload all my videos to this Vimeo page, for Patrons. I will still keep uploading to YouTube, but I might have to alter the content slightly so the video doesn't get taken down right away after uploading. Thanks for the support and...
Update
Hello everyone.As some will have already seen, my last video was removed by YouTube due to a violation of community guidelines. This is not the first video of mine that got removed, and I fear that it is virtually impossible to post any more trainhopping content on YouTube. Advertisers are making st...
Desert Steel
It was time again to expand my horizons and head out into the wide world. Winter had arrived and the cold and wet weather was not at all inviting to make a big trip in Europe. Therefore, I decided to return to North Africa. This time not Morocco, but Tunisia. As in Morocco, there is a lot of phosph...
Gold Fever
After Georgia, Shiey and I decided to explore some more of the Caucasus. Neighbouring Armenia seemed like a good place to continue our journey. The weather was still nice and there were a lot of abandoned locations, a railroad and some interesting scenery. We booked a flight and departed. I wanted t...
Trainhopping across Serbia | Part 3 (Re-Upload)
It's finally here, part 3!It took me longer than usual because I needed to handle some other stuff, but that's over now. So I tried fixing my camera, but according to many people who know some things about it, it's not possible. When I was editing this video I really missed the shots fro...
Trainhopping across Morocco | Part 1 (Re-upload)
When people talk about African trainhopping they usually talk about the iron ore train in Mauritania. But I was more intrigued by neighboring Morocco. The culture, landscape and weather attracted me. And I knew it was possible, since Morocco has the most developed rail network in all of Africa. Stil...
Update
I am writing this post from a half-empty phosphate train in Tunisia. We have been waiting to leave for some time but so far there is no movement. I am writing this just to let you know that YouTube has removed some of my videos. This has already happened to many related channels. I thought for a mom...
Are you in the telescope?
Are you in the telescope? Is what I heard when standing on the edge of a giant silver pit. No, I replied. I had no idea where the voice was coming from; I heard it all around me. I asked the same thing, are you in the telescope? At this point I thought I was talking to Shiey, as he was looking for a...
Steam trains and Landmines
Bosnia round 2! This time, with even more trains and history. I had long wanted to go back to Bosnia because I thought it was a unique country. There were also some routes that I still wanted to do by freight, routes that I could not do in my last Bosnia trip. However, now I had even more reasons to...
Journey to the Black Sea
Hello everyone, here it finally is, the second part of the Georgia journey. It took a little longer than expected because I was in the hospital for a while. Everything is going well now fortunately. Nothing train or urbex related. Just some bad luck. But now the video is finally finished! A diverse ...
Trainhopping in Georgia
Georgia, a country in the Causasus region next to the Black Sea. A country with an eventful history, where various influences of that past still linger. That, combined with beautiful nature and a good train system made Georgia the ideal destination for a trip in May. The plan was to travel from a mi...
Going nowhere - A photo collection
These are some of the pictures I took while traveling through Italy and France.
Going nowhere
The video is finally done!The initial plan was to travel from northern to southern Italy, it should've been a good connection that was fast and reliable. Unfortunately, there were major floods in the areas we were supposed to travel through and all train traffic bound for Bari was stopped. Becau...
New video coming soon
Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well.I am just writing this to let you know that I am alive and not in jail! And that new projects are coming up. I was supposed to upload the video today but unfortunately I didn't get it done. Tomorrow I leave on a new trip for two weeks so I won't ...
Trainhopping to the Mediterranean Sea
After a long gray Belgian winter, spring was finally here, although not much changed. It was the ideal time to head south. Through some friends I met Faavie, he was planning to go to Portugal without spending money. I could use some company on the long trip to Spain, so therefore I decided to take h...
Trainhopping to Ljubljana
This trip was quite spontaneous. I went to Vienna to meet Aki, a friend of mine with whom I have made a few trips. Normally we just went to do some things in the city, but since Aki had been sitting at home for a long time, he wanted to take a little trip. After Morocco, I also felt like getting bac...
Trainhopping across Morocco | Part 3
When we arrived by bus in Khouribga, we went to check the yard. I did a lot of research online and found out that the phosphate mine in Khouribga was among the biggest in the world. But in my research I overlooked something, they recently laid a pipeline which transports the phosphate all the way to...
Trainhopping across Morocco | Part 2
Part two begins with my favorite day of the whole trip. We woke up to the sun shining between the olive branches. I looked to my right and saw a man approaching us, it was the farmer. He told us that it was no problem for us to sleep on his land, in fact, he even brought us breakfast. Warm homemade ...

A photo collection from Montenegro
These are some pictures I took while traveling in Montenegro. I thought they were worthwhile to share.Happy New Year's Eve!
Lost in Montenegro | Part 2
We were fascinated by the small winding mountain roads that run through Montenegro's interior. History had also left many traces in the north of the country, and the ideal way to explore both was by renting scooters. We didn't want to pay much for them, but that worked out well. We found a s...
Lost in Montenegro | Part 1
Montenegro round 2!Last year I had a lot of fun in this country but I only saw a small part of it. So I decided to come back, together with Shiey, to travel across the entire country. This time we wouldn’t limit ourselves to freight trains, and we didn’t have a plan. Checkmate, a friend of Shiey...
The final stretch | Full video
A sequel to the Serbian trip.I knew I had to return when I left Serbia without doing the last part of the route through the mountains. And I'm so glad I did. This was one of the most authentic routed I've ever ridden. The semaphore signaling, the old electricity poles, the bumpy tracks, and ...

Trainhopping across Serbia | Part 2
Part two. Things finally worked out. We first took our time to explore Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. There was a lot to see there, and we decided to explore the city our way. We wandered around, looking at buildings and trying to get on top of them, sometimes it worked out, sometimes it didn’t....

When I was in Spain, Rico was carrying a disposable black and white camera with him. These are some shots he took when we were trainhopping.
