Frequently asked
- What is slow travel?
- Spending 1-12 months in one location instead of 3-7 days. The intent is depth over breadth: learning the city, building habits, having a real community, working effectively.
- How do I plan a slow travel year?
- Pick 3-4 base cities aligned with seasons (e.g. Lisbon spring, Tbilisi summer, Chiang Mai winter), allow 1-2 weeks transition between each, and respect visa rules.
