If you want to learn about the world then see the world. Travel. When you’ve got a yearning for wanderlust, it’s the only way to go. Seeing the world brings on new experiences that change you for a lifetime. There’s a new trend emerging from the world of travel called ‘slow travel.’ Have you heard of it?
Slow travel is about changing the way we usually travel. Instead of heading to the major capitals where you know there will be tourists galore, head to small places—lesser known cities, towns, etc. Avoid rushing through your destination.
Don’t just go through your checklist of things to do and see. Slow travel is all about having an experience you can really write home about. This way, you can gain a better appreciation for the towns and cities you visit, plus you get to know the people and culture better than you would have otherwise.
When you travel slower, you avoid the huge crowds and the rush of people. You let go of guidebook attractions and figure out it out on your own. It gives you a chance to experience the world through your eyes only; creating unexpected experiences and life-changing discoveries.
When you rush through life, you don’t get the full experience. You go through the routine rather than enjoy the journey. I love to incorporate slow travel into my own travel routine. It helps me to see the world in a way I would have never seen otherwise.
When I experience life this way while traveling, I come home with a greater understanding of what it truly means to live. Suddenly I notice the little things that I never noticed before. I feel more grateful for my life at home.
Slow travel is truly a unique experience. Try it on your next adventure!
