Creator's Key Takeaways

the rocky Mountaineer railroad is a first class operation they were professional from the very beginning

the food service was excellent and was on par with kind of a country club experience

we ultimately chose the journey through the clouds which is the nine-day trip starting in Vancouver

we think there is a better option than what we did that's right so first if you're at a stage of life where you can enjoy any experience at any cost we would say go all the way out on this trip

YouTube Video Description

This video is about Rocky Mountaineer Train and the "Journey Through the Clouds" in 2023. We tell how to save money in 2024 on this amazing train journey. We give a full review of the train and its service. We explain the train's gold leaf and silver leaf service and our recommendations to save money on train travel in 2024. We thoroughly enjoyed our 9-day/8-night train and bus journey that took us from Vancouver, Kamloops, Jasper National Park, Lake Louise, Banff National Park, and finally Calgary. We hope you enjoy our review of the Rocky Mountaineer and some tips to save you money if you are planning this trip in 2024. ▶️ We started our channel to inspire and share our world travel lifestyle, adventures, and optimistic outlook on life with others. After completing a two-year journey in our Airstream to see all 50 states and 51 National Parks, we left to travel abroad. We have downsized our possessions and sold our home so that we can wander about with only the things in our backpacks. We love living on the road, traveling each week to a new location. We plan to travel extensively to every part of the world. Ours is not a slow travel lifestyle but rather a vagabondish one. The goal is not to check a country off a list, but to experience it by meeting new people, seeing how others live, and making new friends. We believe in laughing, loving, and living our lives to the fullest. We are working hard to build a beautiful website where you can get travel information about the places we have been. In addition, we post blog articles to help you travel better. Our channel is a way of augmenting that effort, so sometimes we post videos about how to travel or a vlog showing our lives on the road as we do an activity or an adventure. We also post Shorts, so check those out, too. We hope to entertain you, but most importantly, we want to inspire you and give you the confidence to plan your own adventure around the world.
