More about slow travel

Slow travel is an approach that takes a conscious and intentional approach to travel. It doesn't have to mean slow in speed (although it can!) but rather prioritizes an integrated approach that centers the journey as an intrinsic part of the vacation. We are present in the here and now, never waiting to arrive, delighting in the joy of traveling through new places and landscapes.
