The Art of Slow Travel: See the World and Savor the Journey On a Budget [An Unusual Travel Guide]

Have you ever dreamed of traveling and living in different parts of the world for weeks to months or even years at a time—without breaking your bank?
From languid lunches on sun-dappled terraces amidst pink bougainvillea vine overlooking the azure blue of the Mediterranean Sea…to sipping endless cups of cay while wandering the markets of Istanbul…to exploring sites of mysticism, ritual, and power of ancient Egypt while floating down the Nile…
Many people dream of experiencing the beauty of the differences in culture, language, and geography around the globe; but fears, doubts, and myths hold them back.
If this is you, then…
It’s time to ditch short holiday travels packed with fast-paced itineraries and bucket-lists where the mantra is “more is better.” Instead, it’s time to slow down and experience the place where the mantra is “less is more.”
