"When others get off the train to finally go home, Leonie Müller stays behind. That's because she already is home: The train is her apartment, and she says she likes it that way. She bought a subscription that allows her to board every train in the country free. Now, Müller washes her hair in the train bathroom and writes her college papers while traveling at a speed of up to 190 mph. She says that she enjoys the liberty she has experienced since she gave up her apartment." Tags: mobility, transportation, housing, popular culture, Europe, Germany.

This is no question that living on a train is a radical decision to make. It is a direct challenge to the idea that you are suppose to settle into one particular area. While I doubt that this specific phenomenon will catch on, our society is becoming more mobile. People are becoming less tied down to one specific area. The Millennial generation is changing many of the previous social norms. The Millennial generation is waiting longer than any previous generation to marry and start a family. Many are even questioning the institution of marriage itself. Members of the older generations, will decry these changes. This is a familiar cycle that occurs through out history. The Older generation always decries the changes instituted by the Younger generation.

A pretty fascinating article that shows someone that pushes her boundaries everyday. A German student, Leonine Mueller, got into a dispute with her landlord and made a decision that would shock many. She would leave the apartment (not shocking) and go live on trains (very shocking). How is this possible? Well she bought a subscription that allows her to board every train in the country for free (which was cheaper than living in her apartment) and she carries just a backup and needed materials. As a college student she does her work on the trains. As they interviewed her she says how it was more than an economical decision and she wanted people to look at the "normal" and question it, why do we do what we do? She gets to travel the country and meet many new people and see things see never would have expected to get out of a college education. First off for this to work you have to have great public transportation which Germany does, in a country with no transportation or infrastructure this would have been next to impossible. She also does not have children and is young enough to be able to live day to day with this life style. It is a very cool idea and would seem like an awesome experience and at least a great social experiment, but her location for sure plays a key role in this ability to accomplish this. I will look for more stories on her and to see what her outcome was in this situation.
