What is slow travel?

Slow travel is the antithesis of those “if it’s Tuesday it must be Belgium” type vacations. You know, the ones that you come home from more tired than when you left on vacation!

Gone is the trend of packing every possible site into your vacation itinerary. The slow travel movement evolved out of the slow food movement, introduced a few decades ago in Italy as an alternative to fast food.

The idea is to immerse yourself in the destination, to literally slow down and take it all in, rather than snap a selfie at every landmark you pass as you drive by.

Instead of queuing for hours to get a glimpse of the Mona Lisa, imagine strolling to the market with a chef and selecting the freshest local ingredients before you assist in the kitchen to make a grand feast.  These are experiences that will provide vacation memories for years to come.

Rather than the high speed train through the French country side, what about a luxury barge for you and a few of your closest friends that ambles along the canals from winery to winery?

The possibilities are bountiful and not limited to the destinations mentioned above. Perhaps a spa or yoga retreat in Costa Rica is more your speed when planning a vacation.

Would you like to learn to make authentic Thai food in Thailand? Sail through the Greek Isles or even closer to home, in the British Virgin Islands on a catamaran?
