About TRAVEL SLOWLY

The TRAVEL SLOWLY blog was founded in September 2020 by Anika Neugart to publicize Slow Travel as a form of travel. It is not a private travel blog, but a source of information.

In view of climate change and over-tourism in many areas of the world, travel behaviour should change. Slow Travel is a sustainable and therefore modern way of travelling.

TRAVEL SLOWLY offers explanations of the term “Slow Travel” as well as regular blog posts (see article).
