Slow travel mistakes we made – so you don’t have to. With free guide.

Slow travel planning

Planning slow travel isn’t always as simple as it seems. Over the years, we’ve learned a few hard lessons and made our share of mistakes — and we’re sharing them so you don’t have to make the same mistakes. (Make different ones – they make the best stories).


A few lessons from our experience

Even experienced travelers can get tripped up when trying to slow down. Here’s a small taste of what we no longer do:

  • Overbooking our itinerary and rushing experiences
  • Misjudging how long it takes to truly enjoy a place
  • Packing an entire wardrobe and only wearing that one dress or pair of shorts.

These are just a few examples — the full guide dives deeper into everything we wish we’d known before our trips.
