Lasse Stolli, 17, has been living as a digital nomad on Deutsche Bahn's ICE trains, traveling 1,000 kilometers across Germany every day.

With his Bahncard 100, he travels in first class, sleeps on night trains, has breakfast in DB lounges in the morning, and takes showers in public pools, as reported by Business Insider.

The freelance programmer does not have a permanent address and lives on the go: "I have a lot of freedom and can decide where I want to go every day."

In the morning, he checks potential train connections using the app and decides where to go depending on the weather and his mood. Stolli is mostly drawn to tourist regions such as the Baltic Sea resort of Binz on the island of Rügen or Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze. "I often go on short hikes because exercise is almost a part of my daily life."

Whenever he is in Berlin, he walks a few kilometers along the Wall Trail to get to know the capital better. "Berlin is just magical because it's such a diverse city. It's easy for me to get around, and there's always something to see," he says, disembarking from the ICE train here several times a week. "But I also visit Frankfurt and Munich every few days."

As TravelWise reported, Germany is expecting an influx of tourists from all over the world this summer.
