The Thinking Green Travel Stories feature students who considered their carbon footprint before going abroad and chose eco-friendly travel options. What motivated them? How did the journey unfold? What lessons did they learn from their green travels, and what advice do they have for other students? Find out all about it in the Thinking Green Travel Stories! To encourage as many students as possible to travel in an environmentally conscious way, we honor selected stories with the Erasmus+ Award.

By bike to the host university in Slovakia
In this video, we accompany TUM student Catharina Siemon on her way to her Erasmus stay at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (STU). Her motivation for cycling to Bratislava: “There's nothing better than combining relaxation and adventure with an eco-friendly way of traveling, resulting in a journey of meditation with oneself.” Her advice for fellow students: “I had no experience, and I just did it anyway – so you just do it, too!”
