A4 I think you see the most while hiking and slow travel because you make the time to explore. Found so many nice places while hiking #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4: when I spent 2 months in Wrocław, Poland, I was able to meander and go out to lunch with a bunch of friends who were already living there. Got a chance to try lots of places I never would have seen had I not spent 8 weeks there. #Poland #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4 #CultureTrav You can stay in Rome for a week and see enough. or you can see Rome in two days, rent a car and LEAVE, which is what I highly recommend. I prefer slow travel, however. You can take your time, impulsively leave, really take in the sights. it's wonderful.

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4: No question. On a 4 month solo European trip I landed in Seville in orange blossom season. Unbelievably lovely and the entire city smelled great. Rushing around would not allow for such serendipity. #CultureTrav

A4: #SlowTravel makes all the difference when looking for #hidengems - I was on a night walk in #Chicago around the holidays and saw a festive display outside a hotel I had passed by a hundred times! This time, I took a closer look and WOW! 😍✨ #CultureTrav @GodfreyHotel

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4) I think when you get to truly spend enough time to explore and not in a hurry to see the “major sites,” it truly enhances what you see and find and truly enables you to connect and enjoy the “small” things. 📸 from Petoskey, MI where I got to stay a week. #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4 yes. As as american I still tend to rush. I recommend getting in the subway 🚇 metro 🚋 etc & checking out something that’s been on your bucket list. Then explore around that place. Sometimes you’ll find something more excited then what you set out do #CultureTrav #ILoveNY

A4. Slow travel allows you the ability take in more of your surroundings under an unhurried pace, creating opportunities to discover what you may have missed otherwise, as in this plaque seen on a brick wall while strolling through Pamplona/Iruna, Spain. #CultureTrav

A4 with our holidays being in little bits and pieces we don't do slow travel but we do like going to places we don't know much about - In Aarhus last October there was a bog body, a rainbow panorama and the largest barrow in Denmark! #culturetrav

replying to @SouthernerSays @SouthernerSays A4 that is why I like camping since you are subject to the whims of nature. if there is a massive rain shower, rain day and you explore where your camp is now. Beautiful weather? you can stay or go explore further along #CultureTrav
