Cross-Country Trip (DP#192)

First and foremost, our van will be the number one vehicle for these adventures. We will have all the comforts of home in this thing to make cross-country feel as comfortable as possible.

Traveling by train is another dream of mine. We have lines going north to south, as well as east to west. My great-aunt lives up in Illinois, and she always takes the train all the way to DFW every time she comes down to visit. I think it would be exciting to see this country through the windows of a fast-paced machine. You get a whole new perspective for sure.

The farthest I have ever traveled in a train was within the same metroplex, so not very long at all but I do enjoy the atmosphere of being on trains.

I have always had this fascination with the ‘romanticism’ of trains. When I bought my first camera, I had this unusual hobby of taking photos of train tracks leading off somewhere picturesque.
Anyhow’s, I hope you are able to fulfil your dream of train travelling across the Country. Choo, choo. All aboard! Hehe.

  Same! Plus, trains are just so cool to me lol I definitely prefer the slower and more antique trains over the more modern speedy ones.
  
  I do love me some train photography for sure.

● About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
