Travis in Athens, Greece. We next to the house on the island of Cephalonia, which is where the Greek kids thought, and would not accept that I wasn’t, Chuck Norris.


16 year old Travis at the racing school the old Paul Ricard race track in France, during our two-month trip to Europe.
Riding the trains throughout Europe using our first-class Eurail train passes.
Where Travis came up with the idea to use our backpacks and luggage and cover them with blankets look like sleeping people.
That way, when people opened the door at each stop to see if there was room. We didn’t have to say anything, or if we did, we could tell them, “Nah, we’re full,” then the door would slide closed without disturbing our sleep.

Some of the bags Travis and I used on the train in the sleeping compartments at night, to to cover with blankets to masquerade as people already sleeping in the occupied seats.
That way we would not be bothered when people would slide the door open at each stop to see if there was room for them to come in and sleep, thus disrupting our sleep.
Plan worked great! Some of the best sleep we had during that trip.
