About TRAVEL SLOWLY

In September 2020, the blog TRAVEL SLOWLY was founded by Anika Neugart to promote Slow Travel as a way of travel. It’s not a private travel blog but an offer of information.

Facing climate change and Overtourism in many regions of the world, we should change our travel behavior. Slow Travel is sustainable and therefore a future-oriented way of travel.

TRAVEL SLOWLY offers information about the topic “Slow Travel” as well as blog posts in a monthly rhythm (see articles).
