Glacier Express

Sometimes I'll play ambient travel YouTube while editing photos, this video by Kuga's Travels covering a superfancy train ride in Switzerland is going on the bucket list. Though I think I'd be happy with a regular ol' train ride to St. Moritz.

Guide Along location based audio tours

My friend just went through Yosemite and bought an audio tour guide from here that syncs with the offline map and said it elevated the entire travel experience immeasurably. Most of their tours are in the US with lots of National Parks available. Saving for later!

Wendy showed me this app and how she's been using it to organize trips and it looked really smart. Forward travel emails and it will intelligently organize a trip folio that is shareable with area recommendations.

The Trixie Motel

When I visit Palm Springs again I very much would like to stay here at least once. A collab between Trixie Mattel, their partner and The Property Brothers, a series about the renovation of the motel was captured with a tv show. (Adding to the queue.)
