A few years ago, I read about a Facebook friend’s post about how she was relishing her slow travel abroad

with her family. I was fascinated and at the same time desirous knowing that such privilege is not given to everyone.

The web defines slow travel as “an approach to travel that emphasizes connection: to local people, cultures, food, and music.” Further, it explores the idea that a trip is educational, that it should leave an emotional impact, and that one must be conscious about doing the part in making or leaving a sustainable footprint for the local communities and the environment. I know, big words. Simply put, slow travel means going back to the roots of why we travel.

On a more personal level, slow travel should take off travel fatigue and whatever it is that ails the body as you fully immerse yourself in various experiences.If I were to take slow traveling in that sense, then perhaps, what I am doing now is slow traveling. As I write this, I am well into my second week here in Singapore.
