Hello from spain!
Thank you for joining my 30 day AI generated train trip through Europe! I am so excited to get started in just a few short days.
This adventure centers on Mediterranean cities I’ve longed to explore, plus two friendly pit stops in Vienna and Bologna. Initially, ChatGPT suggested Ibiza, but while planning my 30 day AI generated train trip through Europe, a last-minute invite from my friend Esther in Israel that I met while on a tour in Rio de Janeiro (have I mentioned yet how much I love my life!? 😍🤩) pivoted my plans to end in Greece before hopping over to Jerusalem, so I changed Ibiza to Mykonos. I can live with that 😀
The goal? To explore as many cities as possible by train, all within a $5000 USD budget. ChatGPT 4.0 estimates the total cost at €4,110 (about $4,550 USD). For someone who never plans and ignores budgets, this will be an exciting challenge!
So, here’s the ChatGPT generated 30 day AI train trip through Europe…
