When you’re going on a ‘slow trip’, you’re literally taking it slow. Instead of checking off your bucketlist at the same pace as usual, you take your time. You properly get to know a destination and its people, culture, tradition and cuisine. In other words: you swap quantity for quality.
In order to do so, you travel with a slower form of transportation. Instead of taking the airplane to your destination, you go by train, ferry, public transport, bike or foot. This will make you realise it’s not all about your destination, but also about the way there. Furthermore, when your travelling slowly, you mostly organise your travels by yourself, instead of with an (international) tour operator. And lastly: you spend your time at local accommodations, restaurants, markets, cafes and sights.
