In this week’s episode of Money Talk, I sat down with Suzy May, slow travel coach and host of the Wander World School and Slow Family Travel Podcast, to dive into the world of slow travel. We explore how extending your trips, living like a local, and traveling with intention can transform both your experiences and your wallet. Suzy shares her family’s journey of splitting time between Spain, Germany, and Colorado, and how building financial plans for longer trips can make travel more affordable and more meaningful.
Whether you’re the type to pack your vacations full from sunrise to midnight or you’ve been dreaming of taking things slower, this episode will help you see a new way to approach travel. You’ll learn how slow travel can reduce stress, save money, create deeper memories, and even build stronger connections with local communities, making it a must-listen for anyone who wants their vacations to be more than just a blur of photos and receipts.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
