Routes used in the real world
“The Italy route gave us enough structure without making the week feel scheduled. The train notes were especially useful.”
“I usually over-plan. World Axle helped me drop two stops and enjoy Portugal much more than I expected.”
“We started with Tokyo and used the onward ideas to add Kanazawa. It made the whole trip feel more personal.”
