Slow travel is about making conscious choices. It is about deceleration rather than speed. The journey becomes a moment to relax,
rather than a stressful interlude imposed between home and destination.
Slow travel re-engineers time, transforming it into a commodity of abundance rather than scarcity.
And slow travel also reshapes our relationship with places, encouraging and allowing us to engage more
intimately with the communities through which we travel.
Slow travel is not about money or privilege. Slow travel is a state of mind. It is about having the courage not to go the way of the crowd.
Popular wisdom may suggest that a first visit to Italy must necessarily include Venice,
Florence and other ‘must-see’ spots. But in fact there are no ‘must-see’ destinations.
