Episode Description

What if traveling more slowly isn’t about how much time you have, but how you choose to use that time?

In this episode, I’m joined by Renee Hannes of Dream Plan Experience to talk about slow travel, intentional travel and the joy of returning to places we’ve already visited.

We chat about why asking “How do I want this trip to feel?” can completely change the way you plan, how leaving more unplanned time can lead to some of your favorite travel memories, and why you don’t have to see everything on one trip.

We also delve into the benefits of revisiting destinations — one of my favorite things to do.

Returning to a place you love gives you the chance to peel back another layer, discover something you missed the first (or second) time and experience it through a completely different lens.

And Renee and I share a few simple ways to incorporate slow travel into your next trip to Europe — even if you only have a week or two.

If you’re ready to travel with a little more intention and a little less rushing, be sure to tune in.
