As the cost of travel continues to soar and flights become increasingly expensive, a surprising alternative is gaining traction and capturing the attention of wanderlust-stricken adventurers…traincations! Trains, once overlooked in favor of airplanes, are experiencing a renaissance, thanks to remarkable enhancements in the rail industry and a desire for more affordable and experiential journeys. This week on Rich & REGULAR, Kiersten and Julien delve into the reasons why train travel is making a remarkable comeback, how the United States fares in comparison to the rest of the world, and the pros and cons of opting for a train journey over flying.

Amidst the escalating costs of flights, it's no wonder that people are seeking alternatives that offer both savings and an opportunity to embrace the journey itself. Tune in to hear the Saunders break down why a traincation could be a fit for your next trip.
