You Need to Travel Slower

It is a fact: travelling is a battlefield for your nervous system. Novelty. The unknown. Unpredictability. Cultural differences. New environments. Strangers. Our brains are evolutionarily wired to consume enormous amounts of energy when faced with these factors, so it's no wonder you feel like you need a vacation from your vacation. Modern travel often triggers the same overstimulation many people are trying to escape in daily life. Packed itineraries. Constant movement. Early flights. Overplanned sightseeing. Pressure to “make the most” of every moment. We encourage our clients to discover that slow travel offers a different psychological relationship with travel altogether.
