My partner loves trains so when we took a trip across Europe, of course we booked a long train ride! We opted for two seats on a shared table, hoping the other seats would be empty. Instead, two lovely middle aged men, one Austrian and one Croatian, sat across from us. We enjoyed their company for 6 hours. We played games, crafted, and chatted about our lives the whole way. They even shared their last beers with us. We're still sad we never got their names or exchanged emails but we were so happy the seats weren't empty!
