I am not one to get bored simply. Even so, as I used to be making ready for my current cross-country practice journey, I felt sure I would lose pleasure someplace alongside the 57-hour trip.

I do not require a lot to remain entertained — I can hold myself busy for hours with a ebook, journal, or simply my ideas. However as I acquired nearer to leaving on my cross-country practice journey earlier this 12 months, the truth started to sink in: I used to be about to be caught on a practice, with restricted entry to recent air or the surface world, for 57 hours.

That is seven enterprise days or roughly 57 episodes of “Succession.” Both means, it is a very long time to be confined to a 20-square-foot room.

So earlier than boarding my Amtrak practice in Whitefish, Montana, I ensured I had the whole lot I wanted to maintain myself busy. From studying a great ebook to watching downloaded Netflix exhibits, this is the whole lot I did to make my three-day journey fly by.
