Despite the pandemic limiting our full-speed ahead travel mindset, we're grateful we can move around (a little) and experience new things. One thing we've learned over the past two-plus years is how rewarding long-term travel is. In so many ways. We discuss a few of these in E38 of From Sumplace New:
No end date or feeling of finality. No pressure to have an amazing time in a concentrated period. Revisit coffee shops and restaurants and get to know the staff — and even forge friendships.Experience more of the day to day rhythms of the local community — more immersive and integrative.Concentrate on locations/surroundings/opportunities that speak to you — go to a place or region, see how you feel and what you like, and go from there.Create a sense of familiarity in an area, which is rewarding and fosters connection.People/locals treat you a little differently when you’re there as a “slow traveler” vs passing through as a tourist — demonstrates commitment and respect about where you are and why.Time! You gain ongoing time to explore an area, be a part of it, grow from it.Follow us on Instagram: @SumplaceNew
