Has COVID-19 changed your summer vacation plans? Your summer anything plans? Probably. But maybe it’s also opened up your schedule — think of all the time you’ll save not saying “hi” and “bye” to each of the 50+ people at an average family gathering. Not to mention being spared the wet kisses from that one tia.
Maybe it’s also helped you reignite past hobbies and shown you that life’s been a little too hectic. That begs a few questions: What pandemic habits could actually be good for us? What might we be able to rediscover with fresh eyes during this time? How can we slow down and live more purposefully and peacefully?
One answer? Train travel. And in the US, that means Amtrak. With both long-haul cross-country routes and a denser network of regional routes in the Northeast and the Midwest, increased health and safety protocols in place, and more space for passengers than ever before, on Amtrak you can sit back, slow down, and sip your cafecito in peace — while still social distancing. Here’s how.
