"Slow travel" refers to a way of journeying or exploring a place at a relaxed and unhurried pace, where one takes the time to fully experience and savor each moment rather than rushing from one destination to another. It involves immersing oneself in the local culture, connecting with people, and appreciating the surroundings, allowing for a deeper and more meaningful travel experience.
