The teenager in the photo is called Lasse Stolley, 17 years old this year, according to the British "Daily Mail" local time on May 5, from the age of 16, Stolley has played the game of guessing the train to a new level, with a 10,000 euros (about 78,000 yuan) annual pass of the German National Railways, Stoli is traveling around Germany, he sleeps on the train every day.
Les Storey is a true train fan.
At the age of 16, Stolly decided to leave his hometown in Faulkbeck, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, for an unusual train adventure.
It took a lot of effort to convince his parents to agree to him to embark on an "adventure", and finally his parents cleaned up his "children's room" at home, and Stolly left the house as a teenager with no fixed address, living on the train every day.
Stolly bought an annual pass issued by Deutsche Bahn (DB), the Bahncard 100, an unlimited rail pass that allows holders to even travel in first class every day for 10,000 euros (about 78,000 yuan).
With this annual pass, Stolly consults train schedules every day, chooses where he wants to go the next day, sleeps on an overnight ICE train (the equivalent of high-speed rail) every night, eats breakfast in DB's lounge, and bathes in the rail system's public pool and leisure center.
During the day, he works at a small table next to regular passengers and commuter employees. According to the report, Stolly slept in a sleeper not as we understand it, and the Post reported that when night came, Storley slept from one end of Germany to the other by "setting up his little bed" between the train seats.
Although Stolly is said to be "working", in reality, this happy boy does not yet have a job as ordinary people understand. He says that he is a self-employed coder (not employed) and that one of the most important things he does is regularly update his blog, Life on the Train.
Stolly says he hopes that his expertise in trains will eventually lead to a job for him, and that he will be paid for providing feedback to Deutsche Bahn, as well as to train manufacturers and transport companies.
While there aren't any definite job offers for the kid yet, Stolly wasn't disappointed at all, saying, "Let's see."
In a recent interview with Business Insider, Les Stoli used the word "flexible" to describe his life, "I have a lot of freedom to decide where I want to go every day, whether it's going to the Alps, a big city, or the sea." ”
Of course, living on a train required Storley to adapt to a minimalist lifestyle. All of the teenager's belongings were in a 36-liter outdoor backpack that included four T-shirts, two pairs of pants, a neck pillow and a travel blanket, and Storley said his most important items were a laptop and noise-cancelling headphones.
The life of this adorable teenager attracted more than 300 comments from readers. Most people envied Stolly's life, saying that he was still young, that it didn't get in the way of anyone, and that it was great to be able to see the world. There are also readers who advocate for Stolly, saying that he knows that there is another kind of annual pass, which only costs 4,000 pounds (about 36,000 yuan) a year, and there are also Britons who half-jokingly and half-sourly leave messages saying that this is not possible in the UK, if in the UK, the train does not run at all for many times of the day, you have to spend a lot of time waiting for the railway staff strike to end, and you may not have a place to stay at night.
