Slow Travel – How to Reduce the Stress of Going on Holiday
Holidays. Aren’t they great? A time to unwind, relax, experience something new, to explore and to re-charge the batteries. Yet some parts of a holiday can be incredibly stressful: having to sort out travel, the airport, parking, connections, packing, currency, insurance not to mention organising your family. How can you reduce the stress of these parts of your holiday so it goes as swimmingly as you want? Slow Travel is part of the growing global Slow Movement, a cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace. Slow Travel takes its inspiration from nineteenth-century European travel writers, who reacted against the cult of speed even back then and encouraged a more leisurely travelling experience.
