Who says the EU isn’t cool?
Plans have been revealed by the European Union which include the possibility of EU citizens receiving a free interrailing ticket once they turn 18.Â
Anyone who has interrailed through Europe will know that it’s a pretty unforgettable expereriece which allows you to sample Europe’s vast array of cultures up close.
The move is said to be ‘essential in promoting a sense of belonging in Europe, enhancing social cohesion and ensuring a competitive European economy.’
Back in September, German politician Manfred Weber posted details of the plans which were set to be debated:
