Yeah, exactly.
I think the whole concept of slow travel sort of came around after lockdown, I guess, you know, when we had to slow down.
And I know from my own experience and for social media and content, I'm always the one like, OK, I need to shoot this, that, the other and fit as many activities as I can on the one time, you know.
But at the same time, it takes enjoyment out of the trip then and you go away from it thinking, do I even remember that or did I really experience it, you know?
At the time, I've learned to get a good balance now.
I feel I really enjoy the experience.
For example, I'm doing the Wild Atlantic Way series right now.
I'm starting from Donegal, going all the way down to Cork.
And I'm really taking the time to really do the slow travel and take it in and also...
shoot everything as well, you know, it's trying to find that balance where you're not rushing through it, but you can't exactly remember it.
And that's one of those things.
When will I get to do it again?
You know, so I might as well take the time to do it.
So, for example, me and my group of friends, we do this slow travel.
We've done it the past four years now.
It's sort of like our tradition where we choose a place in Ireland and we just go there just before the summer kicks off and it gets busy, you know.
So we've done our fourth year in Donegal a couple of weeks ago and probably planned it, I guess, a month or two in advance.
And you're not throwing anything into the group chat.
You're just like, right, yeah.
Do you want to do this?
