“Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.” ~ Steven Wright
All avid fans of hiking or long distance walking share something in common. They understand that you must walk to truly experience and see a place. Sure, a car or bike will get you there quicker and allow you to see more places, but those modes of travel don’t allow you to see more OF a place. In our modern world where everything seems to move at lightning speed, is it no wonder people are craving slow travel? In a world driven by consumerism and the desire for more, is it surprising that someone like me would seek travel that focuses on meaningful experiences rather than a sightseeing checklist?
Slow travel doesn’t mean you move at the pace of a sloth — it’s a mindset, a different way of looking at vacation.
It’s that time of year again, when Eric & I sit down to decide what country we want to visit next year. As mentioned in my previous post (Too Much Information!), we’ve been binge watching the History Channel’s Viking series, so we’re in the mood for some Nordic travel. After much research, we’ve narrowed it down to three locations: Norway, Faroe Islands or Novia Scotia. Each offers its own unique experiences & landscape, so it’s difficult to choose. So I thought I’d get YOUR opinion.
This post is dedicated to Kathleen & David, who appreciate architectural salvage & best of all, no reading required! 🙂
I fell in love with the doors & simple architecture of Sifnos. Come on in & take a peek while I share my fascination with this beautiful Greek island through its doors & pathways…
