All fine and good, I hope he likes it but €10k is a lot of money to live more or less like a beggar. With €10k/y you can afford a house+food+bills in most of Europe and in many places it is way cheaper than that. So... yeah, I find it incredibly stupid.
I don’t see how that can be true if you want to live alone. Maybe in some of the poorer countries outside the EU.

It’s pretty clear from the article he’s not doing this to save money, he’s doing because he loves travelling on trains and sees it as an opportunity for exploration and adventure. There’s nothing stupid about being curious, and brave enough to indulge that curiosity.

10k Euro per year is what, 800 Euro per month? Im in the UK so I work in pounds. 800 Euro = £684.29 I guarantee you that you cannot get house, bills, and food for this amount per month. I actually think its a pretty smart and cheap way to live if you are young and can handle the requirements.

10k covers all that in "most of Europe"? I'm more than a little skeptical of that claim without some expansion, and also a little curious if what you're saying is true.

But he is young and everyday another place. Try going skiing and visiting North See multiple times per year AND have a place to live.

That is basically the minimum state pension, which some people do live on, but it is a pretty miserable existence.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't know if you're British since this seems to echo the weird comments at the beginning of the article, dissing trains for apparently no particular reason. But no, he's likely been sleeping in beds since he's first class in night trains, in 3-bed compartments that generally have showers as far as I know. The lights can obviously be turned off.
From what I can see it just says he sleeps on the 'night trains' which are any trains that operate overnight. If you restricted yourself to sleepers, there is quite a broad network across Germany, but still not comprehensive ( https://assets.static-bahn.de/dam/jcr:5e469db8-ee74-46b0-a27... )

So I guess he really is just sleeping in the regular compartment rather than a sleeper berth.
