A meeting that will change everything #
These two friends, originally from Redon, met several years ago and quickly shared the same dream of adventure. United by a common passion for nature and environmental preservation, they decided to undertake a project that aligned with their values. This project took shape when they agreed to go on a trip without using airplanes, a mode of transport they consider disrespectful to the environment.
An ambitious challenge #
Their journey began on September 7, 2024 and allowed them to explore varied landscapes, discover different cultures, while revealing the challenges and joys of train travel. The two adventurers traveled through Europe, crossed countries off the beaten path, and savored the beauty of train journeys, often more enriching than the destinations themselves.
The road to the unknown #
As they traveled, Justine and Charlène shared their unique travel experiences. Their adventure was marked by unexpected encounters with locals, nights spent in sleeper trains, and moments of contemplation in front of breathtaking panoramas. The landscapes that passed before their eyes offered them a living spectacle, far from the confines of airplanes. Each step of their journey was carefully planned, but they also left room for the unexpected, a vital component of the spirit of adventure.
An inspiring initiative #
The choice to travel the world without flying resonates with more and more voices calling for a reduction of our impact on the planet. Justine and Charlène wish to show that the passion for adventure can go hand in hand with eco-responsible choices. Their approach is not only a testament to their love for nature but also a way to encourage others to consider alternative travel options.

Through their stories, they hope to inspire young adventurers to prioritize alternatives to air travel.
