5 simple ways how to travel slow<\/strong><\/h2>

1. Drive small routes only\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

  • Enjoy the ride! Vanlife is not only driving from the spot to spot! Even if you found a perfect place - don\u2019t rush! Don\u2019t take a motorway but drive small routes, discover landscapes, cottages, picnic places. Make a break for a coffee, dinner or even just to enjoy the view..\u00a0<\/p>

    2. Don\u2019t plan too much \u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0\ud83e\uddd0<\/p>

    <\/p><\/li>

  • Don\u2019t add too many spots on your list! Plan your tour just in frames. Leave place for spontaneous plan changing and falling in love with a place you parked\u201djust for one night\u201d.<\/p>

    3. Meet locals & eat like locals\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Give yourself the time not only for visiting must see points but also to talk with local people, hear their stories, meet them. People as well as nature create the environment and culture. Go to the local grocery, cafe or stop by the local market. Feel the vibe!\u00a0<\/p>

    4. Relax. Take time to do some activities\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/li>
