Forget the Agenda – How to Slow Travel

This video is a meditation on the value of wandering around a foreign location, as a slow traveler or part time expat, to get a more intimate feel for the location, and get in sync with the culture. We are interested in how slowing down your travel impacts your experience of the location and culture, and are working on a number of videos that address this topic. If you are new to the idea of slow travel, check out our recent video that explains the overall concept. Please give us some feedback in the comments about this video or any other topics you would like us to address.

But it didn't really work out for a number of reasons. But we are really happy with the alternative - being slow travelers and part-time expats! We have a small home in the USA that is our home base, and spend 1-3 months at a time in one place overseas, several times a year. We stay long enough to really learn about a place's people and the history, and experience living in the culture. And in case you were wondering: Our channel title "89 Days Away" refers to the EU Schengen limit of letting visitors stay 3 months (in the Schengen zone) during a visit—living away for 89 days before having to go home. If you want to stay away for longer, some other countries let you stay for 6 months, so you can put together an agenda that allows you to stay overseas as long as you need to get what you are looking for.
