Embracing Slow Travel

Whenever I went travelling in the past, there was a feeling of urgency. I needed to visit as many countries, cities, and landmarks as possible. I wanted to make the most of my trip and I thought that fitting as many items in my itenerary was the way to go.

But I find it difficult to be present when I’m on a tight schedule. By the time, my trip is done and I’m back home, I need a vacation from my vacation to recover.

For my upcoming trip, I want to travel slowly. Perhaps focus on going deep and exploring a few places rather than trying to go everywhere. I want to embrace spontaneity, curiosity, and slow progress instead.
