Slow Traveler

Every travel blog out there has lists of their own. "10 Things To Do In Rome", "20 Beers to Try in Malaysia", "52 Must-See Spots in Andorra". I love these lists. They get my mind going. They get me in the Travel Zone.

Do I do these lists? Not really.

The last thing I want to do when traveling is go off a list. Then the trip becomes a quest. And when there's 100 things to do on the quest, it becomes a race. And unless there's a million dollars and a guy named Phil waiting for me at end, I'm taking my time, thank you very much.

I'm a slow traveler. I like standing in a town square and people watching, taking in everything. I'd rather stroll than walk. I hate being rushed from place to place. This is why I don't do well with set itineraries.

I cover less ground than most people, and I miss out on some sights. I'm OK with that. The worst thing to feel on a trip is rushed.

But for a million dollars, I can make some adjustments...
