Pleasure Tripping

As an avid traveler, I've lived and traveled much of the US and Europe. While starting this channel was an initial effort to keep my family and friends up-to-date on my travels, I've found that many others have similar interests. Since my retirement I've become even more interested in traveling to places I've enjoyed in the past and exploring new worlds, new civilizations... to boldly go to places that most people have forgotten. 

Traveling and commuting by train in Europe gave me a unique appreciation for this mode of transportation. Train travel has been all but forgotten in the US due to impatient travelers. My hope is to use this channel to help others recapture the "beauty of the journey" and to explore the country by rail. I also want to inspire the solo traveler and other retirees like myself, the people who always wanted to venture out but are waiting for the right time or opportunity. The time is now and the world is your opportunity.
