GO SLOW – The 10 rules of the slow traveller; RULE #1

This is the World I’ve seen. The map has been generated on a interesting website and it shows all the countries where I’ve set my foot on. At least once.

Wow, I used to think I travelled a lot but….gee…there’s still a HUGE room for improvement. I hope I’ll be on the road soon…

For the time being, let’s resume our chats on the beuty of travelling itself. Lately I ran into an intriguing article issued on occasion of the National Day of Slowness! it celebrates the “slow traveller” giving advices and hint on how to own your own time when onthe road, etc.

So, here I start with the first rule:

1) Seek the beauty close to your home, avoiding the “non-places” and the obvious ones. (Look for hideways where you can breath the sense of time, smell life and enjoy its seasons cicle).

Now, only this first rule would be enough to encompass the philosofy of life and travel together withour any further discussion. Difficult to disagree. But you never know…

Remember, when replying….be slow!
