|
Somewhere between seeing the fifth and seventh wonder of the world, the world stops seeming so wonderful. Have we missed the entire point of travelling? Bucket lists are a trap. Not because the places aren't worth seeing, but because the way we usually do it means we barely scratch the surface. Enter: slow travel. The better alternative that does wonders to the soul.
