There’s something quietly revolutionary.
Not for business. Not for a vacation.
Just to party.
I call it Underground Class — my favorite form of travel.
Not business, not economy, but the climate-friendly, soul-friendly class that exists below all that noise. It’s for those who don’t chase rewards points, lounge access, or perfect selfies. It’s for those who know the journey itself is the luxury.
It’s the slow hum of the train. The condensation on the window. The morning coffee - exactly like freedom.
I’m not a high-quality travel blogger yet. I don’t collect destinations or airports.
One Tuesday each week — to reset my sense of place (City Escape). To step outside the city’s algorithm and let the rhythm set the pace.
So here’s my Autumn–Winter 2025/26 “Tuesdays Getaway: Underground Class” schedule —
a calendar of simple, low-impact one-day journeys from Zagreb. Each trip starts early, ends by evening, and leaves the smallest possible carbon footprint behind.

✨ Final Reflection
I'll give you something airports never can: continuity. A landscape that unfolds instead of vanishing. A rhythm that soothes rather than rushes.
Underground Class is not about status — it’s about substance.
It’s the art of traveling without fleeing, of observing without consuming, of moving without burning more than you need.
So every Tuesday, I’ll keep boarding — not to escape Zagreb, but to remember that the world outside is nice.
And that a slower life is a revolution in progress.
