When I first visited Auckland, New Zealand in November 2023, a few people recommended that I check out Tiritiri Matangi Island Nature Reserve after learning about my love of birds. Unfortunately we were only in Auckland for a few short days and didn’t have the time to do a whole-day adventure on this nearby island.

So my Partner loves trains 🙂 . I try to incorporate them into our travel plans as much as I can because he loves them so much.
That has led to some fun adventures, such as taking a sleeper train up the west coast of the US (even though it’s much slower and more expensive 😉 ) and taking trains around Europe this past fall. I also found individual sleeper cars in trains to be a good alternate pandemic travel solution.
