Hi, I’m Sherry!
Welcome to Travel UpClose!
I’ve been an avid traveler and train fan ever since I rode the old Santa Fe Super Chief from Chicago to Phoenix. Over the decades, I’ve mastered how to travel across the USA on Amtrak, plus scenic trains in Canada and trains across Europe.
I hope to encourage and inspire you to have your own Amtrak adventures and extraordinary train journeys.
