About this episode

The episode discusses the guilt associated with slow travel and the reactions from friends and family when one decides to pursue it.

Guilt is a quiet part of slow travel that doesn’t get talked about enough. And then there’s the question: “You’re doing what?!” If you’ve ever told friends or family you’re thinking about slow traveling (or already doing it), you’ve probably been met with confusion, concern, or a lot of questions. It’s not easy to explain in one neat sentence. So today, we’re breaking it down.
