Leonie Muller now lives on a variety of trains travelling across Germany
Renting an overpriced property in London? You might sympathise with this woman.
Leonie Muller has decided to start living on a train in Germany, after a dispute with her landlord prompted her to move out.
Now, the college student has bought a $380 subscription that means she can board every train in the country at no cost – and make the most of the facilities on offer.
She’s able to wash her hair in the train bathroom and even pens her university essays while travelling across the country, and described her digs as ‘like being on vacation all the time’.

She can even have a shower onboard
Describing her initial decision to leave her flat, Leonie told the Washington Post: ‘I instantly decided I didn’t want to live there anymore – and then I realised: Actually, I didn’t want to live anywhere anymore.’
Nearly all of her worldly belongings are fitted into a small backpack – filled with clothes, college papers, a tablet computer and a sanitary bag.
And while Leonie is living on the train for most of the time, she’ll often stay at the home of her boyfriend, mother, or grandmother – when the train rolls into their town.

All aboard!
‘Normally, we would have to have a long-distance relationship, but living on a train enables me to see him all the time’, Muller told TV station SWR about her boyfriend.
She added: ‘I read, I write, I look out of the window and I meet nice people all the time. There’s always something to do on trains.’

And it seems there’s an academic side to the whole thing, too – with Muller planning to record the whole experience for her final undergraduate assignment.
