Slow travel, as I define it, is slowing down your travel long enough to enjoy the destination (think 2 to 5 months). It’s truly embracing “living like a local” and doing things like renting a local apartment, going to the grocery store, and seeking a true understanding of what it’s like to live there, including the food, music and culture. And, you consider and remain aware of your emotional, environmental and spiritual impact. …a low carbon footprint is the aim.)
