Slow Travel
In a world fixated by speed, slow travel and living invites you to do the opposite. Forget cramming 5 cities into a week and rushing from one site to another, battling crowds at every turn. Slow travel puts focus on mindful travel, savouring the moment, and getting to know a place in depth. Walk through sun-dappled mountains in central Portugal, spend a month exploring the stunning landscapes of New Zealand, or borrow a cottage and learn local life in the Hebrides. This form of travel emphasises quality over quantity, mastering the art of conscious, responsible, and meaningful travel. As always, One Planet Journey gives you the details, the background, and the inspirational stories sourced from slow travel experts around the world.
