Teenager Lives On Train

Lasse Stolley was looking for a change in scenery after a planned apprenticeship fell through. So nearly two years ago the teenager began living on German trains.

The boy left his home in northern Germany at the age of 16 in 2022 and said that "it took a lot of convincing" for his parents to support his unconventional lifestyle.

Stolley, a self-employed coder, sustains this distinctive lifestyle thanks to an unlimited annual rail pass.

The widespread habit of listening to music while walking cost two teenagers their lives on Thursday. The cousins, who were walking on a railway track, could not hear the train coming from behind them, as they were glued to their headphones, police said.
