Journeying across the Silk Road, walking the Camino de Santiago, and riding horseback across Torres del Paine National Park; slow travel has always existed. However, in more recent years its emerged as an increasingly popular travel trend – and we’re so here for it. The world is becoming busier, faster, and more connected, but with slow travel, there’s a real opportunity to stop and take the time to connect with your surroundings – the people, culture, and place. It’s about immersing yourself in local life and enjoying fewer, more meaningful experiences. It’s about dwelling in a location, and really drinking it in. We call this travelling low and slow.
Destinations are important. But so is the journey. And so are you. We strongly believe that slowing down the pace benefits your mind, body, and soul, the communities you visit, and the environment we live in. After the challenges of Covid-19, we think 2022 is the year to strip it back to basics, embrace the places we visit and remember what’s truly important about travel. It’s no longer about ticking off a checklist, but instead about leaving something for the next time you visit. As let’s face it; a country can never truly be ‘completed’.
Slow travel trips do not have to be ‘slow’ as such. You can still take your time in one destination even if you don’t have many days of annual leave. So, whether it’s four days or 14; when you take the time to soak up the atmosphere, chat to locals across the bar and explore a place by foot, bike, or train, the journey will make you feel like you’ve been away for far longer.
There’s no denying that slow travel is better for the environment. Afterall, taking the Eurostar train from London to Paris instead of a plane cuts the CO2 emissions produced per passenger by a huge 90%. And with an increasing awareness around the future of our planet, we’re certainly seeing travellers become more environmentally conscious when it comes to exploring the world. So, with slow travel leaning more towards walking, cycling and using public transport like trains, it naturally results in a guilt-free feeling and ultimately, a reduction in carbon footprint.
Slow travel destinations are places that offer opportunities to experience the local way of life, engage in meaningful cultural exchange, and savor the natural beauty of the area.
