Hi, I’m Will. I am an adventure traveler, retreat host, and vlogger. My goal is to share positivity around the world and to connect you with the countries, culture, and people from all walks of life. I hope you enjoy the videos that I produce.

[@WillEdmond]

I am loving train travel! Taking a train across America has always been a dream. This time I crossed 7 states with DownieLive. If you LOVED this video, SUBSCRIBE & SHARE! Where should we go next? Comment Below!

[@flojo1983]

I love taking the train also I think i will be crossing 7 states also when i go to Minnesota this summer

[@bobbypyles8386]

Amtrak is nice they had me sitting next to a guy who smelled like a liquor factory

[@joed.warren4115]

I suggest you board the train in New Orleans and go to Los Angeles. You'll go through Houston, San Antonino, Marfa, etc., etc. Another really nice overnight train ride is Chicago to San Antonio.

[@SC-uq2jf]

Will, thoroughly enjoyed both you and Mike's video. I took the Amtrak Auto train to pick up my car purchased in Florida back in 2003. Visited Seattle for the Bumper Shoot Music festival years ago when they did a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, [ actually met his Jimi's father in the crowd, where patrons were wearing t-shirts with Jimi's face emblazoned on it. I got choked up because his dad was so touched he was in tears...I gave him a hug ]. The Pacific Northwest has some of the best seafood you will ever taste. [ BTW, I am the NYC Sistah that commented on your lovely smile, in PT One of this trip ]. Looking forward to more vicarious travel videos... Also, will you be doing food videos as well...not necessarily expensive etc.

[@kimberlyj.7177]

I think everyone should take a train trip like this at least once in their life. It looks so relaxing.

[@WillEdmond]

Kimberly J. I agree with you. It is relaxing. Thanks for watching Kimberly.

[@toyaedwards4440]

That’s what I call an adventure. It’s nice to see things that are frequently missed on flights.

[@Sailorgirl222]

I have never considered travel by train, but now I am. It looks so awesome! A trip about the journey, not the destination.

[@boxsterman77]

Yep. That sums up the appeal of train travel altogether. Just some amazing scenery.

[@joed.warren4115]

Will, you and Mike had a great idea to partner-up for the train ride and each of you make your own videos. I've watched both, start to finish, and enjoyed everything. I used to ride the train from Lubbock, TX to Houston, TX with my grandmother in the early and mid 1960s. Although I don't remember tons of details, I do remember the dining cars on the trains back then were much nicer. They had waiters, white table cloths, heavy flatware and nicer glasses. But, your train experience beats any airplane experience nowdays except for the long-haul first class seats that cost thousands. Nice video - fun, informative and enjoyable!

[@WillEdmond]

Joe thanks for the love and for support us both. That means a lot. I’m from Texas as well. Maybe our paths will cross soon.

[@EdwardTravels]

My hometown Seattle. I think route starting from Seattle is best in the summer as you leave Seattle at 440pm. You’ll ride along the Puget Sound and then cross the Cascade Mountains. You go to bed and wake up around Whitefish Montana and from there you’ll see Glacier National Park. Excellent video

[@WillEdmond]

Edward Travels Edward you are right I really wished I had of started in Seattle to see the Cascade Mountains and Glacier National Park

[@frankdingle9920]

First I watched your friends video then yours, it was great to see what each of you filmed. Very different angles and slightly different scenes made this just as enjoyable. I love train travel. Did it a lot in my youth. My most memorable trip was back in the 70's in Queensland, Australia. It was lovingly remembered as the witchitty express. What would take a car to travel four hours would take the train almost two days. The standard joke was that the driver would spit out a tomato seed and the man in the guards van would pick the tomatoes. I had a sleeper (at no extra cost than a seat) and these were old carriages of timber and you could see the coach sway and bend as it travelled. For me it triggered off my desire to travel even more after that experience. But nothing ever matched that experience or the beautiful countryside.

[@melanietoth1376]

I've done this several times over. ♡ I only had my seat but I spent most of my time in the observation area hanging out, watching the world go by, and talking with other travelers. I packed my own food because I couldnt afford the food on the train. I loved it

[@melodyjoy5082]

You rode right past my (late) grandma's house in Taylor, ND! Glad you enjoyed!

[@WillEdmond]

Meljoyous That’s awesome! I enjoyed riding along in ND.

[@josephR1938]

You two are so cute together. Loved every minute of the video. Back around 1992 or so made this same trip with my Mother. We traveled coach. We got aboard in Milwaukee. In Seattle we rented a car and drove up to Vancouver for a few days. Then back in Seattle stayed there to do shopping and some sightseeing. Caught the Coast Starlight to San Francisco and stayed there with a friend for about a week. Also drove to Arroyo Grande for a couple days and then back to San Fran. Caught train again to Los Angeles. Had a car there and bummed around. Took train to San Diego. Stayed there a few days plus a venture to Tijuana. Went back to LA and caught train to San Antonio, Dallas, Little Rock, Saint Louis and Chicago. Took the Hiawatha back to Milwaukee. All together we did about 7,000 miles on that trip. It was wonderful, but we both were glad to get home. I've been across the country by rail several times and these last few years I go to Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia at least once a year, sometimes twice a year. I have done at least 40,000 miles by rail in my 82 years. All over the USA and Canada.

Wonderfulness! Best segment : Train training with Will and Mike!! As I suggested on Mike's vlog, do the ride around the country and experience the hours long layovers like in L.A., New Orleans and Chicago! It'd be interesting to see what you'd both do with your time. I've done it, do it, why don't you? I so enjoyed this train trilogy, Will, thanks!!!

I took the EMPIRE BUILDER in the summer of 1984 round trip from Seattle to Chicago. LOVED IT. My mother started my love of train travel. I rode the COAST STARLIGHT in December of 1984 to Los Angeles for my sister’s wedding. As we passed thru Oregon, WOW WOW WOW what beauty. The train stopped so all could see the beautiful snow surrounding a waterfall. Living now in Virginia I have taken the commuter trains to Philadelphia and NYC. My bucket list train would be the TGV from London to Paris

[@tcmw779]

Again so cool you guys have a buddy to travel with, saw Mike’s videos first but I like the different viewpoints you guys have. watching again 10 months later, but it is really neat you guys are having such a good time.

Loved the adventure! I took the Pacific Starlight in November from Seattle (awesome station) to LAX Union Station (another wonderful station). Just a fantastic way to travel. I did a roomette to myself and loved every minute of it.

[@WillEdmond]

I'm impressed with the structure and art inside these stations. I never knew how beautiful they were until recently. I am also looking forward to taking those same routes. And a roomette to yourself is really taking it up a level!

[@mrmoorman]

@@WillEdmond Got the name wrong...It's the Coast Starlight, but none the less it was a great way to travel. I made sure I got off at every station stop I could to snap a few pictures along the way. So many great stations. I'm sure I missed a few in the middle of the night as I was rocked to sleep.

[@cesarnyc]

You guys have great chemistry together and you both look like you're having fun doing this, excellent video. Not sure if you guys realized this but you were quite fortunate to ride on an updated Superliner car, most of Amtrak equipment is a little dated and it shows. Also while the bedrooms are bigger and have their own bathroom and shower, some prefer the roomette for sleeping as the beds line up with the direction of travel (as opposed to perpendicular in the bedrooms) and I've found this type of motion more conducive to a very restful sleep, not to mention lower fares. The dining room is great place to meet other travelers as you get to share the table with other persons. As Mike said, train travel is not for speed but you can't beat the rolling view and the great experience. Thanks for sharing!

[@BullittHilts]

When my kids get older I’m hoping we can all go on a cross country train trip! I grew up in Connecticut but went to college in Philadelphia and took the Amtrak N.E. Corridor trains all the time and LOVED IT. I’ve been on trains in England/France as well (they’re WAY nicer) but something that I’ve always loved about train travel in the US is that it forces you to slow down and just appreciate the scenery and, for lack of better words, the little things. Also, the train stations are incredible. You should get to 30th St. Station in Philly sometime, it’s gorgeous.

[@traceysaich9336]

Minot, ND is the last town before you hit the Manitoba border. In 2000 I rode with my aunt and uncle in their Honda Pilot from Coal Creek Canyon, Colorado, through parts of eastern Wyoming (introduced them to Monte Cristo sandwiches at a truck stop in Orem, Wyoming), South Dakota (saw Badlands National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Mount Rushmore and Wall Drug), and North Dakota (where we gassed up the car) before spending the week in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Great memories. Thank you for the video!

[@robbs.garcia4062]

You guys make traveling by train in the US look fun. I recently traveled by train for the first time in the states and I enjoyed it for the most part. I to the train from LA's Union Station to San Antonio's Sunset Station. Unfortunately our journey started with a 3 hour delay in LA waiting for another train to come in. Luckley we departed at night so I was able to sleep during the delay. To make up for the delay, Amtrak offered us a Free Breakfast which was nice. We got to see some different parts of the states you don't see driving on IH 10 which was nice. A few hours later the train came to a complete stop in the middle of the desert. Apparently due to the delay our crew had passed the federal mandated time they are allowed to work so we had to wait 2hrs for a new crew to board to be driven out to board the train. They offered us a free lunch to make up for it. We got rolling and I took some photos from the observation car and meet some interesting folks along the way. That night was Halloween and I was a bit saddened that no special events were planned or available for the passengers.I made my way over to the dining car for dinner. I was seated with some former NBL players and we struck up a conversation about some ball games. Dinner was a bit more expensive that what I thought it would be but oh well. I made my way over to the lounge for a beer and to see if anything fun was happening. Unfortunately, only myself and a couple from Ghana were thirsty. We chatted for about two hours and then I excused myself and made my way back to my seat and slept for the night. It seemed like we had made up about an hour when I awoke in the morning. We rolled into El Paso, Texas and I still had a voucher for breakfast so I made my way over. Breakfast was good. And we were rolling again. About an hour West of Uvalde, Texas the train once again came to a complete stop. We sat with no word from the crew for about an hour and half then we were informed that a freight train had derailed on the other side of Uvalde and they did not know how long it would take to clear the wreckage, fix the, and test the tracks. It took 6 hrs. They fed use lunch for free and supplied us with drinks and snacks. About 11 hours delayed we Finally roll into San Antonio. If not for the delays the trip would have been really enjoyable. The crews were very courteous throughout. Luckily I had the time to absorb the delays since this was my return trip. I hope my next trip, which I've already planned from San Antonio to Denver in April, will go a lot smoother. Maybe I'll film a little video as well. Cheers.

I was checking your guys channel anxiously awaiting your next video to see what happened next to see what I was in for since I've never traveled by train. I'm very excited to go on this trip because I love trains, I wish you could travel like they did back in the day, I think I was a railroader, or a traveler on trains in a past life, I think I was born in the wrong part of time, oh well.

[@WillEdmond]

Glad you loved the video Val and that I was able to help you out.

[@leroynorville4129]

I've taken this trip myself. Loved it soo much wanted to do it again right away.

[@Hundredakerwood439]

You two are so watchable 👏

[@WillEdmond]

HAWP Glad you love the both of us.

[@KristopherCroteau]

46 hours wow that looks cool and the sunrise is the best not gonna lie perfect video!

[@whoviating]

Okay, I gotta say this. During the exercise segment, you were hopping up the stairs. If the train was in motion, that is a *definite* no-no. One unexpected lurch and you're down the stairs. So I assume it was stopped, but just in case....

[@WillEdmond]

Thanks for watching! We had a break "STOP" at the station and decided to get our workout on. Glad you liked that segment.

[@stevenromero1723]

I loved everything about this video

Thanks Steven! We have more coming so stay tuned.

I love your videos. I have a trip business seat booked on Amtrak March 28 from Saint Louis to Chicago. Then a bedroom to Emeryville California arriving March 31. Up to Seattle April 1st in a roomette then a bedroom back to Chicago then to Saint Louis. One big loop! Can’t wait.

[@lillymarie1965]

I love taking trains. I have family that live at the top end of Scotland I live in the Midlands. I take the slow night train it's direct no stops. So much easier than day time when I have to stop 8x no joke.

[@marthamerrill2457]

Glad Amtrak has vegan meals now. On my bucket list is to visit my daughter in Seattle. Thank you for showing what it's like to travel on Amtrak. Have fun in your future endeavors!😊

[@WillEdmond]

Yes I was surprised too. I’m glad you enjoyed the video

[@chillinebony]

New sub, you and Mike make me want to take a longer trip on a train. My favorite parts were the train amenities (i.e., shower area, size of sleeping quarters, food options, etc.), as well as the scenery.

[@WillEdmond]

You should definitely do it. I was impressed with the sleeping area and the showers. Can’t wait to do it again.

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

Amtrak will start making stops in my town this year. Can't wait to take a train somewhere. Not sure where. But it will definitely be an overnight trip as I want to fully experience train travel.

[@deborahkogan8742]

Thank you! Really enjoyed it. I was on that train in '81...

[@WillEdmond]

Thanks for watching Deborah! Does the train still look the same to you?

[@deborahkogan8742]

@@WillEdmond Yes, it was very similar. I had a roomette, too..

[@amyelder6964]

Empire Builder is on my list of trains.

[@WillEdmond]

Welcome back Amy! Glad you are taking this trip. Are you going from Chicago to Seattle or vice versa?

[@amyelder6964]

Will Edmond probably Seattle to Chicago in 2021. This years trip is Chicago to LA, then up to Emeryville to catch the Zephyr back to Chicago

[@ronclark9724]

@@WillEdmond Ride the Empire Builder west to Seattle, jump on a Cascades train to Portland, and then ride the Empire Builder east along the Columbia River valley... See the best of the Pacific Northwest...

Brilliant, such energy! Unfortunately here in the UK we cant take a journey on a train for that length of time. Thanks for a great review!

[@1952stevephillips]

We did the Empire Builder out, The Coastal Starlight south, and the Zephyr back east. I can't wait to do it again !!!
