Her Life Is Like a High Speed Train


Do you ever get bored of staring at the same four walls and wish you could pack up and move at the drop of a hat?

Well that's exactly what one German student did. Leonie Muller had an argument with her landlord and ended up packing her things and moving out.

Instead of scouring SpareRoom for another place to live or a temporary room to rent, she came up with another idea.

Leonie bought a Bahncard100, an unlimited German train pass that costs €379 (£276) a month and allows her to use all the German rail systems as much as she wants.

Leonie now lives on the trains and has started a blog documenting her constantly moving lifestyle.

However it's not all go, she spends some nights sleeping at her boyfriend's house, calls on friends from time to time and even finds a place to lay her head on Airbnb.

But, she also makes use of the sleeping facilities on the trains regularly too.

In her Twitter bio, Leonie describes herself as 'homeless by choice'. She has managed to slimline her possessions to just a laptop, a backpack with some clothes, noise cancelling headphones and a confetti gun.

The point of her adventure is not just to save money on rent but Leonie also wants to inspire others to question the idea of normality and take a look at their own habits too.
