You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

I would love to take a long, scenic trip by train before I die. It’s definitely on my bucket list.

The rhythm of trains has always delighted and comforted me, even going short distances. Plus, unlike air travel, you have a view of the land you’re traversing the entire time.

I listen to sleep stories featuring trains constantly and imagine myself in the reading car, the dining car, and the private room. It sounds like such a peaceful and luxurious experience. Just passing each day quietly reading, listening to music in headphones, and taking a few naps.

Have you ever taken a long trip by train? How did you like it?
