At 16, after my first interrail trip in Europe with a friend, I learned that for me travelling  is not about ticking off countries from a bucket list, but about experiencing places, learning from cultures, and creating valuable connections with people. This is why I now prefer and promote slow travel. I am convinced that slow travel helps you connect with yourself, with the earth and with others in the most authentic and ethical way. But to do so travel should not only be outwards, but also inward. I hope that both 'sides' - inward and outward travel - of this blog inspire you and help you to travel in an authentic and ethical way!
