All the advertisements on this website promote companies we have researched thoroughly and measured against two criteria: relevance to our readers and eco-ethical impact. You won't find rapacious multinationals in the list, but you may find a ferry company that will get you to Ireland or a car hire search to find you the best deals. We're certain you'll find it easy doing business with them, though please bear in mind that we can't be held liable for anything furnished by a third party. We would of course, love to, but wisdom must prevail.
Who said air travel is hassle free?
Laborious check-ins, long queues, tiny seats, dire food and long journeys to and from far-flung out-of-town airports. Train travel is bliss when compared to this. From city centre to city centre, you're whisked through Europe's varied landscapes, often in huge comfort. And to wake up in Rome after a night on the sleeper from Paris is one of life's treats (along with the knowledge that your carbon 'footprint' is far lighter than if you had flown).
