The Rise of Slow Travel: Why Travelers Are Choosing Depth Over Distance
For years, travel was often defined by speed. Packed itineraries, early morning flights, and a constant push to see as much as possible shaped the way many people explored the world.

Chilling With Elephants in Sri Lanka
“Colombo? Where’s Colombo?” I said. “It’s the capital city of Sri Lanka, an island in the Indian Ocean immediately south of the mainland,” my partner replied. Sri Lanka is a melting pot of colonizers and cultures, Portuguese, Dutch and finally the British who developed a lucrative trade in tea when Sri Lanka was called Ceylon. We were in Sri Lanka not for tea but for elephants.

The ethical rethinking of travel
I am a follower of all things Travel and Adventure, my eyes light up at the discovery of a new flight route to Armenia, A camel trek in the Western Sahara or a Windsurfing trip in Naxos. The thought of the unknown is what drives my spirit of adventure, I leave scribbles and notes in diaries about trips and ideas far into the future, even if they are not viable or I never embark on them, but each idea is what inspires and motivates me to keep taking steps to find what is over the horizon.

Exploring the Atlas Mountains With Kids By Morocco Family Vacation
Exploring the Atlas Mountains With Kids: A Family Experience From a Mom’s Perspective When we first added the Atlas Mountains to our Morocco itinerary, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect. Mountains and kids don’t always sound like the easiest combination. As a mom, I immediately started thinking about long drives, tired legs, and whether my children would actually enjoy it or just ask, “Are we done yet?” every ten minutes.
