Sažetak
Students are unmistakably a privileged social group today, but those who had to travel to their place of study by regular coach lines were forced to endure a number of unpleasant and not always benign episodes aboard the coaches. This article analyses the experiences of three students from the University of Padova which are supplemented, in the form of an autoethnography, by the author’s personal memories of numerous trips taken on the coach line Pula-Padova-Pula. Even though the article is focused on individual travel by pullman (Italian word for long line coaches), the research revealed a broader contexts which included family, friends, co-travellers, border police and coach drivers as active agents and creators of the quality and success of travel. It is in those niches of ‘significant events’ that some of the key elements of student identity are being generated.
