What Is Slow Travel And Why Should We Care?

Most of us live a fast, stressed life in fast, stressed work, filled with running around between our homes, our work, our kids' schools, and supermarkets. This lifestyle barely leaves us any time we can spend actually living - our every waking minute is filled with doing things or idly absorbing the myriads of channels of entertainment pouring at us through all the devices around us - TVs, computers, phones, you name it. This rushed lifestyle leaves little more than time for a city break for most of us, short trips that we spend quickly checking the main sights and landmarks of the place off our lists and move on to the next. This style of travelling is not ideal as it doesn't provide us with the relaxation we need after our rushing weekdays - to counter this rushing lifestyle, a brand new way to take a holiday has recently emerged. It is called "slow travel", and it should be the golden standard for everyone taking a break.
