The Art of Slow Travel - An invitation to see the world and savour the journey at your own pace - Bhavana Gesota : 112

Because Everyone Has A Story - BEHAS

Are you brave enough to travel to a new country without a return ticket? Meet Bhavana, author of The Art of Slow Travel, as she takes us on an exciting journey of her belief that slow travel can bring about a deep and rich encounter with an unfamiliar culture. As a seasoned traveller herself, Bhavana helps us understand what it means to immerse oneself in another world fully and how the concept of slow travel can transform the way we perceive our surroundings. Her book, The Art of Slow Travel, is a culmination of her own experiences and aims to inspire and guide readers on a journey of discovery - both internal and external - to gain new insights and perspectives.
Bhavana Gesota is an Indian American former technology professional, world slow traveller, artist, writer, thinker, and meditator. She was born and raised in Pune, India, before moving to the USA for work after 25 years. Over the past 25 years, she has lived in 9 countries, worked in 7 for extended periods, and travelled to 22 more across 5 continents.
From her experiences of taking six-month sabbaticals to her encounters with minimalists on the road, she has collected valuable insights that will help you pack not just your suitcase but also your life into a travel-friendly format. She'll also shed light on the nuances of a slow travel lifestyle and how it differs from a nomadic lifestyle, giving you new perspectives to consider before jetting off on your next adventure.
She reflects on the beauty of slow travel and how it has enabled her to forge lasting connections with people from all walks of life. Her tales of adapting to foreign lands, navigating visa processes, and embracing digital nomadism will inspire you to break away from the conventional norms of travel.
Let's enjoy her story.
