With an overwhelming start to a new decade (to say the least), I have yet to make time to create this year’s vision board . . . or take down my Christmas tree, if we’re being honest.

In her latest article for whereverfamily.com, “Why Train Travel,” Irvina Lew shares her experience with train travel both internationally and domestically. As someone who detested the daily commutes in New York City — we need to do better, MTA — the thought of train travel has been one I avoided but now might have to take into account.

Visiting my motherland, the Dominican Republic; experiencing the amazing New Orleans cuisine lots of people rave about; and hopefully spending my birthday in Turks & Caicos are some of my travel resolutions this year. While I tend to lean more toward beach destinations when I think about vacation, this year I want to focus on the adventures and experiences rather than the just the scenery. With this article, Lew sparked interest in a trip to Canada I must now start planning.

What’s your experience with train travel?

Explore the Beguiling Towns of Sicily’s Val di Noto
