Jake asked:


I’m looking to visit multiple countries, staying in hostels, trying to minimize fees at the airport and looking to walk around with ease with it.

I suppose if I fly EasyJet or RyanAir, I should have only a carry-on?

In short, I’m clueless about this. I wouldn’t say that I’m backpacking, but maybe I really am. My itinerary so far is Detroit to Edinburgh to London to Paris to Switzerland, by bus, train and plane. What are my options.

Has any one rode Amtrak that had many transfers and checked their luggage?

I am riding Amtrak with my 2 year old. I will be taking train, bus, train, bus they say I can check
my luggage until I get off the second train. Do I make sure they put it on the first bus and the second train. And when I get off in Bakersfield and they don’t have checked luggage where do I get it at?
Bakersfield would be us getting off our second train.
