MY travelosophy
The idea of tourism is very simple. The world is big and full of things to discover - go explore. And so humans have done since the beginning of time. But the tourism system, the business around the phenomenon of travelling, is complex. It affects nature, society and culture in different ways. The challenge for the future is to reduce the negative impact of tourism without limiting the positive outcome.
I believe that if done in the right way, tourism is a wonderful business and a great opportunity for economic growth and cultural enrichment. I believe that by being conscious and curious, we can enjoy all the beauty of travel without affecting the places we visit in a negative way. Travel with an open mind. Look for an authentic cultural experience. Respect and connect with locals.
To me slow living and travelling means allowing things to take time. It doesn’t necessary means doing less, but doing differently, by investing our time in a meaningful way and letting the boundaries between the different areas of our lives be less sharp, in order to achieve more balance. A lifestyle that is slow and yet dynamic, filled with true and mindful experiences, led by presence, simplicity and sustainability.
