👋 Aloha from DC!
It's been a fun few weeks around here. I took the train to Richmond for the TBEX conference, where I caught up with friends I only get to see once a year and came back with a notebook full of story ideas.
In other news, you might remember that earlier this year I was a guest on the Travel the World Confidently podcast. They invited me back, this time to talk all things train travel. You can listen here:
That conversation (and an IG Live with my friend Kahja) also inspired me to finally answer some of the train questions I hear most often, so you'll find that in my Amtrak FAQs post and also what to pack for a long-distance trip in coach.
As always, I've also rounded up a few things that caught my attention lately, from travel inspiration to interesting reads. I hope you discover something new today.
✨ Until next time,
