🚂 🏔 IRL Ticket to Ride: webpaige migrations
Winter 2021 - 2022
Hello, stranger!
This winter, I'll be traveling around the United States, taking advantage of Amtrak's very reasonably priced $499 Rail Pass. With this pass, each intrepid explorer has the ability to book 10 one-way rail trips around the United States during a 30 day period. Adventures abound!
The Plan:
From December 12th through February 4th, I'll be sprinting through the following cities:

| February 21 - March ? | Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA | Coast Starlight |
✅ The Plan (at least, as of today)
There will almost certainly be snags, delays, and poor weather along the way - and I'll be documenting everything. Each one of these cities has amazing culture, friends to visit, and family to hug - not to mention great food and coffee. I can't wait to share my experiences with you, and to take in, first-hand, everything that the United States has to offer.
Stay tuned, and please send me recommendations for stops! They're always appreciated. 🤗
