Are you a traveling enthusiast as well? Do you like traveling round the globe and come across new things in life? Are you fan of knowing people from different cultural backgrounds? Well, if yes then you might have travelled a lot of places, right? But do you really think that you adventured and experienced every place you’ve visited, properly. Even though every one of us has a different preference. Everyone has their own pace and style. Everyone travels the way they want to. But the best way is to blend in with the people, admiring the distinctive cultures, discovering new places and take it all in. If you are wondering why you should slow your travel down then here is an article completely perfect for you. The four tips mentioned below will clarify why slowing down your travel can be more amusing and exploratory. 4 Reasons You Should Slow Your Travel Down

Meet locals and make friends:

A longer tour gives you a chance to get to know the locals. The longer you’ll stay the more you’ll interact with the people around. This is the one apparent reason why most of the experienced bag packers encourage longer stays and slow travel. Traveling around the globe allows you to blend in with people with different traits, customs and cultures thus making your tour informative. Thus, slowing down your travel gives you a chance to indulge in distinctive activities which the locals go through and makes your tour a learning experience. Consider staying at locally owned hostels across Canada to get that true local experience.

Experience different cultures:

Every country is different from the other, culturally. Rather we can say every country itself has a number of different cultures. If you are a travel fanatic as well, then slowing down your pace of travel can help you experience different cultures and traditions. Experiencing the diversity and versatility of the inimitable cultures, feeling the depth of distinct customs and cherishing the traditions of the different lands allows you to feel the difference and enjoy the versatile behaviors and routines of people worldwide. 4 Reasons You Should Slow Your Travel Down

Find Hidden Gems:

Travel means to explore. And you can only explore better when you are not in a rush. If you are on a hasty tour you might miss a number of things. So, if you really think you want to discover and explore a place, its beauty and its assorted nature then make sure you tone down your pace just a little.

Take it all in:

Want to experience every bit of a place? Want to enjoy the different cuisines, markets, sceneries and famous spots? Well, if yes then you need to take it all in. Let the environment sink in so you can enjoy the time on the tour. But for that you’ll need to slower the pace of your travel and extend your plans. Looking for more tips like these?

150 Things To Do In Canada

I'm pleased to announce my first ebook is available on Amazon Kindle. In honour of Canada's 150th Anniversary, I wanted to highlight my favourite things to do in each province and territory across Canada.

This ebook is super affordable as this is my first attempt at an ebook, and I'm hoping it will encourage people to flip through it before their summer travels across Canada. Please leave a positive review if you find it useful! I'm pulling late nights at the moment working on another ebook which is set to release before summer. Stay tuned!
