Welcome back to The Lazy Racer— where racing across Europe is the name of the game! I’m a Dutchman now living in London, and I’ve been to nearly every country in Europe. But here’s the twist: I race across the continent by public transport, against a field of up to 200 competitors. Let me show you what that's like! If you’ve ever dreamed of crossing borders in style—or wondered what treasures lie beyond the tourist trail—I’m here to show you how. When every leg involves high stakes, the journey becomes a hunt for the fastest routes and the best connections. But for me, it’s about more than speed. It’s about discovery, resilience, and sharing incredible, life-changing experiences—even in places you’ve never heard of. So, if you’re ready to see Europe differently, hit follow and join me on the next great race.
