The Importance of Slow Travel with Brittany Anas

August 01, 2024

On one hand, it makes sense. We want to see as much as we can in the short time we have to travel. But the downside to that is that we rush through these experiences, ticking those must-see boxes as we go. That can mean that we miss the real authenticity of a destination and its people in the rush to “see it all.”

If you’re looking for something that goes a little more in depth and personal, there’s a growing trend in travel you should know about: slow travel.
