When you read the trends and blogs, it is all about Sustainability. Real sustainability, no words but actions!
I have stumbled over the trend: Slow Travel.
It is not because I am old(er).... that I like it. What is Slow Travel? It is what my mom used to say, when I was a child. It is about the trip, being on the way and not about the destination. Take your time, enjoy, stand still, observe, learn, grow and take it easy. It is not about more and it is also not about less. It is about balance and experience.
When you are at the start of your travel career, you like to see, or at least I did, as many places as possible. Waterfalls, the road less traveled and mountains, coasts, different coasts, certain cities. As long as you have seen it all and not missed anything. After a couple of waterfalls later, a couple of mountain treks and a lot of beaches, you realize, it is not about the amount of things you see, it is about how you experience a certain place and the people you meet.
My trendy travel is definitely slow. Especially after covid and all the requirements needed to enter a certain country. I am taking time, to see and experience everything in the same country. In a slow way, no rush, with time to talk to people and to take time to meet locals. It is definitely a more balanced way of traveling. It is a state of mind, a low impact way of travel. And slow travel, brings slow living and I believe at the end, happiness and understanding.
