The Slow Traveller: An Intentional Path to Mindful Adventures

Slow traveling is a mindful approach that encourages people to leave their itineraries behind and pursue curiosity, authentic connection, and sustainability instead. Tinsley, an experienced slow traveler, journalist, and creator of Ernest Magazine, commingles storytelling with rich photographs, packing tips, and plenty of ideas on how to get started. The book is sectioned by mode of transportation and type of experience; there are trips by car or train, walking pilgrimages, or swimming adventures, as well as journeys to share with others or to spend in solitude. It is not a guide book per se. For example, there are no expansive details of the destinations described or pictured. Instead, the book gives a big-picture concept of how the author practices slow traveling and the experiences she has had along the way. Tinsley encourages readers to learn from her treks and find the place and path that is right for them.
