The Travel Tortoise moves slowly and deliberately through the world of travel and wine. This is somewhat of a diversion from the look-at-me generation, whose very shiny yet rather monotonous content doesn't offer much genuine insight. We value pithy, opinionated writers, that have genuinely interesting things to say about where they've been and what they saw. The Tortoise cares little for bucket lists and tick box travel, as his preferred style is rather slower. He has no ideological opposition to anyone who flies, and he does himself regularly - the world, however, is changing, and the way we travel probably needs to as well, especially if he is to reach his 200th birthday. We aim to give you a fresh approach to traveling and travel writing, that we hope will inspire your next escape, and perhaps encourage you to slow down, take stock and smell the lettuce from time to time...
What is slow travel?
