What happens when you ditch the itinerary, close the spreadsheet, and simply wander?
In this episode, we meet Kate and Kimberly, two adventurous travelers who swapped rushed vacations for a months-long slow travel journey across Europe and Latin America. And trust us—it’s not just about beautiful views (though there are plenty of those).
They share with Crystal Hammond and Joe Saul-Sehy what it’s really like to:
-
Roam the winding streets of Venice, Florence, and Cinque Terre without a rigid plan
-
Embrace the unexpected—from Christmas markets in Austria to Carnival in Brazil
-
Discover the rhythm of life in places like Guatemala, Argentina, and Portugal
-
Balance remote work and travel without losing the magic (or the Wi-Fi)
-
Say no to travel perfectionism and yes to getting gloriously lost
Along the way, they reflect on the challenges of long-term travel, the joy of lingering in one place, and why slowing down can lead to deeper cultural experiences—and better stories.
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to take your time, immerse yourself in a new place, and make the world feel just a little smaller… this episode is your passport.
Pack light, take your time, and come wander with us.
