Slow Travel is a beautifully designed and practical compendium of
places, activities, tours and experiences that will inspire you
to get on the road in your own time and on your own terms.
It can be challenging to travel in the modern world without
falling for the temptations of fast planes, cheap airlines,
last-minute tickets, quick-fix travel apps and overzealous tour
operators. To actually take a back seat, and allow yourself time
to embrace the ebb and flow of travel, requires a more thoughtful
and philosophical way of journeying. This book explores slow
travel as a physical or philosophical endeavour, taking readers
off the beaten track and through nature, and unveils journeys
that will nurture talent and ignite the inner-self. You could
decide to cruise slow-mo down Egypt's Nile on a 19th-century
steam ship, visit ancient dzongs and temples in Bhutan or learn
the art of sourdough baking in Venice.
