Living and Traveling Around the World
We are full time “slow” world travelers helping others do the same! We’re here to share our tips, facts, stories, highs and lows, as well as “how to’s” on living a life of freedom and traveling and living around the world full time. If you love to travel and stay in one place for awhile, or have thought about relocating to another country, or are even considering a retirement destination, this site is for you!
Our posts are usually things we like to share about our personal stories and tips with most of our message emphasizing SLOW travel. We offer more info on how we spend extended periods in places, move around less, eat and drink more, and enjoy the world one slow day at a time.
Our goal on this website is to bring insight into how we live our lives with Slow Travel and how we can help inspire others to do the same thing.
