  • What Is Slow Travel? + 7 Reasons Why You Should Start Slow Traveling
    May 19 2023

    This week I’m sitting down to talk about my favorite mode of travel: slow travel — what is it and why you should consider slow traveling in the future (if you don’t already!).

    Slow travel is not only a fabulous way to lighten one’s travel footprint by staying in one destination for a longer period of time (say, six months versus six days!), it’s also a catalyst to unlocking more meaningful travel experiences that have the power to shift perspectives and conquer even the hardiest of hearts.

    Join me in this episode as I share how slow travel paves the way to opportunity, opens our minds to different ways of living, and sparks connections between our relationships with our fellow humans and the planet we all share.
