Why Should You Care About Slow Travel?
You have a vacation coming up. You've booked your flight and hotel. Now, all you need is to figure out what to do with your time. You can go out and see the city or spend hours in museums.
Why Should You Care About Slow Travel?
But little do you know that there is a better way to experience a place—slow travel.
Here's why slow travel is more enriching than a regular vacation.
Slow travel involves a focus on specific destinations rather than exploring multiple locations in short periods of time. It is centered on place, deepened by extended periods of time in that place, whether hours or days… Slow travel promotes experience, education, and learning for the traveler; about the place, people, and their environment; information that can be shared with others at home upon return.
Slow travel is an alternative to the regular fast-paced travel that most people consider a must-do activity.
If you are in a hurry, it’s not for you. But if you’re looking for a different, slower, and more relaxed way to experience a place, then you might be interested in what slow travel has to offer.
Savor your life. The first thing you need to do is slow down. Focus on each moment, peel back all the layers of experience: travel Slowly, get Lost.
