What Does the Phrase “Slow Travel” Actually Mean? 

By Sebastian Modak

Couple hiking and enjoying scenic majestic mountain view at sunset

This is part of a collection of stories on slow travel—read more here.

For about a decade, Paul Salopek, a Pulitzer-winning journalist, has been walking. By that, I don’t mean he’s consistently hit his 10,000 steps on daily constitutionals. In 2013, Salopek set out on the  Out of Eden Walk , a project to follow the 80,000-year-old footsteps of our forebears, following the 24,000-mile route of human migration from Ethiopia to the southern tip of South America —all on foot just as they had done. Salopek’s still-unfolding, extraordinary journey might be considered the ultimate experiment in so-called “slow travel,” a term that is being used more and more frequently to describe everything from backcountry bikepacking expeditions to mega-ship cruises. But when I reach Salopek on Zoom to ask him about it, he is in the Chinese province of Shaanxi and is audibly confused about what the term even means. “There’s been no other way  but  ‘slow travel’ for 99 percent of our history,” he says. “I guess in today’s world to premise anything on going slowly is revolutionary.”

It’s hard to pinpoint its exact beginnings but the slow travel revolution—an intentional move towards more mindful, more environmentally responsible, less purely convenient modes of getting around—organically emerged from another revolution. In 1986, a journalist named Carlo Petrini, in the most Italian protest ever conducted, handed out bowls of penne pasta to passersby and demonstrators who yelled, “We don’t want fast food. We want slow food!” The target? A McDonald’s, the first in Italy , set to open at the foot of the Spanish Steps in Rome. The McDonald’s did indeed open, and is still there, but by actively resisting the very concept of fast food, Petrini started what became known as the slow food movement, a culinary practice that emphasizes natural ingredients, traditional cooking methods, and long, languorous meals where food is relished rather than treated as fuel.

If slow food is defined, at least partially, by what it’s not, then the same can be said for slow travel. Slow travel can be best understood as a collective reaction to our post-industrial obsession with convenience, where time, and using as little of it as possible, is the biggest priority in getting from point A to point B. Some have tried to give slow travel a more concrete definition. In 2010, for example, a decade before the coronavirus pandemic saw  skyrocketing interest in  trekking, cycling, and domestic trips, two tourism researchers out of the UK, Janet Dickinson and Les Lumsdown,  wrote that slow travel was “an emerging conceptual framework which offers an alternative to air and car travel, where people travel to destinations more slowly overland, stay longer and travel less.” Seems simple enough. Take a train, a bike, kayak, or your own two feet instead of a plane and car and just like that, you’ve taken your vow of mindfulness; welcome to the church of slow travel? 

Of course, like any trend that starts with a kind of radical thoughtfulness, the definition of slow travel gets slippery with the more questions you ask. What if, on that train ride, you do nothing but scroll on TikTok? What if the place and the people you really want to get to know and learn from are just too difficult to reach without getting on a plane, because of other obligations, money, or a disability? Does that disqualify you? Run a Google search of slow travel and you won’t need to scroll long before you’re accosted with shiny images of beautiful people on pristine beaches and “must-have” checklists for worthwhile “slow travel” experiences.  What if you can’t afford the five-digit price tags associated with the two-week yacht trips, luxury train rides, and wilderness resorts that market themselves as the ultimate in slow travel indulgences? 

What emerges then is a far more complex definition of what it means to travel slowly. Traveling slowly can mean exploring your own backyard, avoiding environmentally damaging transportation when possible, spending a lot of time in one place instead of a little time in many—but it also is an internal process. It means tamping down our own built-in, conditioned obsessions with time and allowing the world to move just a little slower so that we can actually notice it. Slow travel is a mindset: you don’t need three weeks of vacation to slow down. A day spent strolling through an unfamiliar neighborhood without a crammed to-do list or exploring a state park with nothing but a route map and a bag of snacks could fall under the umbrella of slow travel. It comes down to how you engage with the world as you move through it.  

“It’s about taking the time to make a connection—to the land and each other,” says Chyanne Trenholm

“If slow travel is about stopping and taking the time to properly connect with a place and its people, then yes, it’s something I’m all for,” says Chyanne Trenholm, a member of the Homalco First Nation, and the assistant general manager of Vancouver Island-based  Homalco Wildlife and Cultural Tours . The Indigenous-owned company organizes visits to local communities, and Bute Inlet wildlife excursions. Trenholm says the idea of taking it slow and being present has been ingrained in her culture as a steward of the land. “Slow tourism is not the term we’ve used much, because it’s not just how we think of our brand—it’s who we are,” she says. She feels a certain sense of responsibility in instilling that kind of thinking in visitors who might arrive looking to get that one shot of a grizzly bear with a fish in its mouth and then leave. “It’s about taking the time to make a connection—to the land and each other,” she says. “I think humans in general can learn a lot from the act of making those connections.” 

Monisha Rajesh , the author of three books on long-distance train travel, thinks that moving slower gives our brains the time it needs to process our experiences. “On a plane, you lift out of one place and drop into the next without any awareness of the in-betweenness,” she says. “On a train, the journey starts the second you get on board. I don’t know who is going to enter my story and the surroundings are part of the adventure.” Instead of the time it takes to get from origin to destination being a kind of blank nothingness—a necessary, if somewhat annoying, component of travel—suddenly, it teems with possibility. 

When people hear about long, slow journeys—a cross-country  bike trip , a paddle down the Mississippi, a 10-year-and-counting walk in the footsteps of early Homo sapiens—the reaction is usually a mix of “you-did- what?”  shock and “I-could-never” envy. It’s a strange reaction considering our history as a species. Salopek tells me that he’s noticed something almost primeval about entering a community that is not your own by foot. “They see you coming from a distance. By the time you walk up to them and say hello there’s this ritual of greeting that you’re both prepared for,” he says. “We’ve been walking into each other’s viewsheds for 300,000 years and that’s why it feels so good.”

Measles in the United States — March 2024

March 8, 2024, 4:15 PM EDT

Updates on respiratory illness and vaccine-preventable diseases.

Thanks to a strong childhood vaccination program, measles was declared eliminated from the United States in 2000. Although overall childhood vaccination rates remain high in the U.S., measles still occurs frequently in other parts of the world. That’s especially true right now. The World Health Organization has noted a significant increase in measles cases worldwide, with a 30-fold increase in Europe.  This includes popular international tourist destinations for Americans, like England.

Measles can easily come to the United States by way of unvaccinated travelers, and measles cases have been increasing around the country. This most commonly happens when people who live in the United States visit countries where there are measles outbreaks . Once someone gets measles and returns to America, measles can spread if people in their community aren’t up-to-date on their vaccinations.

  • Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, up to 90% of the people close to them can also become infected if they are not protected by vaccination (or, less commonly, prior infection).
  • The measles virus can stay in the air for up to 2 hours after an infected person left an indoor space.
  • Someone can get infected by simply being in a room where a person with measles walked through.
  • In addition, people with measles can transmit to others when their symptoms are fever, cough, and runny nose, which look like common respiratory viruses.

Worse, measles can be very serious . Children younger than 5 years and adults older than 20 years are more likely to suffer from complications. Common measles complications include ear infections and diarrhea. More severe complications like pneumonia (lung infection) and encephalitis (infection and swelling of the brain) are possible and often require hospitalization and even intensive care. This is a real risk for people who are not vaccinated, especially for young children, adults, pregnant persons, and people who are immunocompromised. On average, nearly 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the United States who get measles need to be hospitalized. For example, in a recent outbreak in Ohio , over 40% of infants and children infected with measles were hospitalized.

When outbreaks do occur, local health departments lead the response. The playbook for ending measles outbreaks is decades old, and it works. People who are infected or who are exposed to measles but haven’t been vaccinated are recommended to stay home and away from settings where unvaccinated people may be exposed, like schools and daycares. By following these simple procedures, countless jurisdictions have successfully curbed local measles outbreaks and limited the illness and suffering that accompany them.

Key to maintaining the elimination of measles in the U.S. is vaccination. The measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR)  is part of the national immunization schedule for all children and adults. Vaccination with MMR is the best and safest way to prevent measles. When both doses of MMR vaccine are given (typically when the child is about 1 and 4 years old), MMR is 97% effective at preventing measles.

CDC recommends the safe and effective MMR vaccination as part of the routine immunization schedule for all children and adults , with special guidance for those travelling internationally . With spring break travel coming up and people going to and coming from countries that have seen sharp upticks in measles cases, the time to be sure you and your family members are up to date on their MMR is now.

"Super load" moves through Franklin County, could cause travel delays, ODOT warns

traveller long definition

The Ohio Department of Transportation warned drivers that a “super load” moving through Franklin County could cause travel delays Sunday.

According to an ODOT news release, the “super load” is part of nearly two dozen extremely large truck loads travelling from the Ohio River to Central Ohio. They’re being transported to New Albany or Hebron, and most of the loads are associated with future Intel semiconductor facility.

The loads don’t contain any hazardous material, according to the news release. No official road closures or detours are planned, but slow-rolling roadblocks will be used during transit.

“Drivers should plan ahead for long delays along the route,” ODOT wrote in the release.

ODOT provided a detailed travel plan for Sunday's load:

  • The load will depart at approximately 7:30 a.m. from Old Bixby Road and travel east on Bixby Road to U.S. 33
  • Continue east on U.S. 33 in the westbound lanes
  • When exiting at Gender Road the load will travel the wrong way on the Gender Road southbound to U.S. 33 westbound ramp
  • The load will head north on SR 674/Gender Road to Brice Road 
  • Continue north on Brice Road to the intersection of Tussing Road/SR 204 in Columbus
  • The load will turn east on Tussing Road/SR 204 before stopping on Freedom Way

Per diem is an allowance for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) establishes the per diem reimbursement rates that federal agencies use to reimburse their employees for subsistence expenses incurred while on official travel within the continental U.S. (CONUS), which includes the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) establishes rates for travel in non-foreign areas outside of CONUS, which includes Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories and possessions. The U.S. Department of State establishes rates for travel in foreign areas. For more information on rates established by DOD and the State Department visit travel.dod.mil and aoprals.state.gov .

Please visit www.gsa.gov/perdiem  to find the rates. Click on a state on the map to view that state's rates or enter the location in the search box. Even though some cities are listed for your lookup convenience, not all cities can or will be listed. To look up the county a destination is located in, visit the Census Geocoder . If neither the city nor county you are looking for is listed on the GSA per diem rate page, then the standard CONUS rate applies.

Non-standard areas (NSAs) are frequently traveled by the federal community and are reviewed on an annual basis. Standard CONUS locations are less frequently traveled by the federal community and are not specifically listed on our website.

Per diem rates are set based upon contractor-provided average daily rate (ADR) data of local lodging properties. The properties must be fire-safe and have a FEMA ID number. The ADR is a travel industry metric that divides room sales rental revenue by the number of rooms sold. All rates are evaluated to ensure that they are fair and equitable in the GSA and Office of Management and Budget approval process. For more detailed information, visit the Factors Influencing Lodging Rates page.

5 U.S.C § 5702 gives the Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) the authority to establish the system of reimbursing Federal employees for the subsistence expenses (lodging, meals, and incidentals) of official travel. The law governs how GSA sets rates today, and allows the GSA Administrator to establish locality-based allowances for these expenses with a reporting requirement back to Congress. The law was established to protect Federal employees by fairly reimbursing them for travel expenses. In addition, if a Federal employee cannot find a room within the established per diem rates, the travel policy allows the agency to reimburse the actual hotel charges up to 300 percent of the established per diem rates.

The per diem program has several standards that it follows in its systematic structured per diem methodology. The first level is having a "standard rate" that applies to approximately 85 percent of counties in the continental United States.

It is GSA's policy that, if and when a Federal agency, on behalf of its employees, requests that the standard rate is not adequate in a specific area to cover costs of travel as intended by the law, GSA will study the locality to determine whether the locality under study should become a "non-standard area." If the study recommends a change, a change will be implemented as deemed appropriate. GSA has implemented a process to review and update both the standard and non-standard areas annually.

The standard "boundary line" for where non-standard areas apply is generally one county. This is the case for approximately 85 percent of the non-standard rates that GSA sets. However, in some cases, agencies have requested that the rate apply to an area larger than one county, such as a metropolitan area. In a very small number of cases, an agency can and has requested that a rate apply to just a city and not the entire county. In some rural areas, a rate sometimes applies to more than one county due to lack of an adequate data sample to set a rate otherwise.

GSA uses the Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS) code standard for its apply areas. While GSA often uses ZIP codes to select hotel data samples, the apply area is coded by a FIPS code, unless a Federal agency only wants the rate to apply to certain ZIP codes. These codes are managed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to ensure uniform identification of geographic entities through all federal government agencies.

In order for GSA to conduct a "special" review of a non-standard area (NSA) during the current fiscal year, a Federal Agency Travel Manager or an equivalent individual in grade or title must submit a signed letter on agency letterhead or stationery stating that the present per diem rate is inadequate. The request should contain the following information:

  • The geographical areas you want us to study, especially ZIP codes.
  • The property names (including addresses, ZIP codes, and rates) where your federal travelers stay while on temporary duty travel and those properties (including addresses, ZIP codes, and rates) that will not honor the federal lodging per diem rate.
  • The number of times actual expenses were used and/or federal travelers had to use another lodging facility to stay within the maximum allowable lodging per diem rate, which resulted in additional transportation expenses (rental car, taxi) being incurred.

All valid requests postmarked no later than 12/31 will be eligible for this review. All valid requests received after 12/31, but before 4/1 will be evaluated during the following fiscal year's annual review cycle. After all the requirements are submitted, GSA will obtain updated data from our contractor to determine whether a per diem rate should be increased, decreased or remain unchanged. We will conduct no more than one "special" review for a particular NSA annually.

Letters should be sent to: General Services Administration, Office of Government-wide Policy, 1800 F St. NW., Washington, DC 20405. For more direct service, please also scan and email your request (a signed letter on agency letterhead must be attached) to [email protected] .

The procedure and the request deadline are the same as FAQ #6. However, requests received after 3/31 will not be included in the following fiscal year's annual review cycle because the annual review will have already begun.

If a city is not listed, check to ensure that the county within which it is located is also not listed. Visit the Census Geocoder to determine the county a destination is located in. If the city is not listed, but the county is, then the per diem rate is the rate for that entire county. If the city and the county are not listed, then that area receives the standard CONUS location rate.

Hotels are not required to honor the federal per diem rates. It is each property’s business decision whether or not to offer the rate. Hotels also may or may not choose to extend the rate to other individuals, such as government contractors.

Hotels sometimes offer a "GOV" rate, which might be different than the federal per diem rate. If it is higher, you need to receive approval for actual expense prior to travel in order to receive full reimbursement. It is the traveler’s responsibility to know the federal per diem reimbursement rates, and should not assume a GOV rate is the same as the federal per diem rate. See the FTR Chapter 301, Subpart D-Actual Expense and follow your agency's guidelines.

Lodging taxes are not included in the CONUS per diem rate. The Federal Travel Regulation 301-11.27 states that in CONUS, lodging taxes paid by the federal traveler are reimbursable as a miscellaneous travel expense limited to the taxes on reimbursable lodging costs. For foreign areas, lodging taxes have not been removed from the foreign per diem rates established by the Department of State. Separate claims for lodging taxes incurred in foreign areas not allowed. Some states and local governments may exempt federal travelers from the payment of taxes. For more information regarding tax exempt status, travelers should visit the State Tax Forms page.

Yes, the meals and incidental expense (M&IE) rate does include taxes and tips in the rate, so travelers will not be reimbursed separately for those items.

The Federal Travel Regulation Chapter 300, Part 300-3 , under Per Diem Allowance, describes incidental expenses as: Fees and tips given to porters, baggage carriers, hotel staff, and staff on ships.

An M&IE study has traditionally been conducted every three to five years. Based upon the recommendations of the Governmentwide Travel Advisory Committee, GSA began reviewing rates every three years starting with rates for FY 2016.

On the first and last travel day, Federal employees are only eligible for 75 percent of the total M&IE rate for their temporary duty travel location (not the official duty station location). For your convenience, the M&IE breakdown page has a table showing the calculated amount for the "First and Last Day of Travel."

For federal employees, the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) does not make a provision for "mixing and matching" reimbursement rates. The lodging per diem rates are a maximum amount; the traveler only receives actual lodging costs up to that maximum rate. Therefore, there is no "extra" lodging per diem to add to the M&IE rate. Likewise, the M&IE per diem cannot be given up or transferred to lodging costs. See FTR 301-11.100 and 301-11.101 for more information.

For any official temporary travel destination, you must provide a receipt to substantiate your claimed travel expenses for lodging and receipts for any authorized expenses incurred costing over $75, or a reason acceptable to your agency explaining why you are unable to provide the necessary receipt (see Federal Travel Regulation 301-11.25 ).

You may ask your agency to authorize the actual expense allowance provision. The Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) 301-11.300 through 306 notes that if lodging is not available at your temporary duty location, your agency may authorize or approve the maximum per diem rate of up to 300% of per diem for the location where lodging is obtained. You should also ensure you have checked www.fedrooms.com to confirm there are no rooms available at per diem in the area where you need to travel.

According to the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), travelers are entitled to 75% of the prescribed meals and incidental expenses for one day travel away from your official station if it is longer than 12 hours. Please see FTR 301-11.101 .

GSA establishes per diem rates and related policies for federal travelers on official travel only, and cannot address specific inquiries concerning the payment of contractors. If the contractor is on a federal contract, check with the contracting officer to see what is stated in their contract. Contractors should also check the travel regulations of their company.

GSA establishes per diem rates, along with its policies for federal employees on official travel only. Truck-related questions should be addressed either to the Department of Transportation ( www.dot.gov ) or the Internal Revenue Service ( www.irs.gov ).

Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained.

Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."

Per diem localities with county definitions shall include "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."

When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.

A list of solar eclipse events across the nation from Texas to Maine

traveller long definition

On April 8, the moon will obscure the entire face of the sun, resulting in a few minutes-long sudden transformation of day into night. Over a dozen lucky U.S. states are located in the eclipse’s path of totality, spanning from Texas to Maine – and they’re getting ready to welcome travelers for the exceptional natural phenomenon. 

Experts expect up to four million people to tune into this year's total solar eclipse, mainly because the upcoming eclipse will be two minutes longer than 2017’s, according to HotelPlanner CEO Tim Hentschel. “Simply put, this will be one of the most viewed celestial events in history,” he said in a statement. 

Since the eclipse occurs on a Monday, Hentschel believes most travelers will make a long weekend of it.

Adding even more excitement is that the next solar eclipse won’t be for another 20 years. 

Travelers who want to see the celestial event can choose from a number of celebrations and viewing parties across the country. These range from an event that also brings awareness to what life is like for the visually impaired in Rochester, New York, to a chance to learn about astronomy from an Indigenous perspective to a viewing with NASA in the “Racing Capital of the World.”

Everything Worth Buying at Everlane’s Friends & Family Sale

traveller long definition

At the Strategist, we’ve been loyal Everlaneologists basically since the brand’s inception. Its jeans , tees , and totes have earned coveted spots in plenty of our best-in-class posts and the Strategist Womenswear 100 and the Menswear 100 . (We’ve even written a guide on how to shop the label here .) All this to say: If you’re looking for Strategist-approved wardrobe staples, Everlane is the place to beat.

So we were very excited to see that there’s a sitewide sale happening this weekend. Everything is 20 percent off through Sunday night, which is an excellent deal we haven’t seen in a while. We’ve pulled the very best-selling pieces among Strategist readers below. And if you’d like to do your own looking, you can shop everything here .

Everlane the Relaxed Oxford Shirt

The best (less expensive) white button-down is Everlane’s relaxed oxford, which has an oversize silhouette that isn’t so oversize that it gets in the way. (Its looser fit also makes it a good option for people with bigger busts .)

Everlane the Boxy Oxford

Compared to the shirt above, the boxy oxford has dropped shoulders and larger front pockets.

Everlane the Dream Pant

These pull-on  work pants “didn’t feel like I was wearing ‘ work pants ’ at all,” says our fashion writer, Ambar Pardilla, “and the best part about the fabric is that it doesn’t really wrinkle.”

Everlane the Supima Micro-Rib Long-Sleeve Crew

This excellent long-sleeve for layering has a bit of elastane blended in with the pima cotton, making it stretchy and sturdy enough to hold its shape even after many wears.

Everlane the Organic Cotton V-Neck

Our best white V-neck tee has a fairly deep V that’s not too severe. And since the hem hits right at the hip, it has a not-cropped-but-not-too-long silhouette.

Everlane the Air Cami

We also recommend this tank top , which is similar in look and feel to the tee above. It’s “low enough in the front and back to give it an open, breezy feel, but still high enough in the back to hide your  bra  strap,” writes former Strategist staffer Mia Leimkuhler.

Everlane Clean Silk Short-Sleeve Square Shirt

A silk shirt is another great option for that humid start-of-spring weather that’s almost here.

Everlane the Invisible High-Rise Hipster

Plain but not boring underwear (that are VPL-proof).

Everlane the ’90s Cheeky Jean

You really go wrong with a pair of the brand’s Cheeky jeans, which have butt-flattering back pockets and are made from ’90s-inspired rigid denim.

Everlane Day Glove Shoes

Everlane’s iconic Day Glove shoes earned a spot in our best-in-class  ballet-flats  roundup, since “they stay true to their name and truly fit like a  glove ,” according to Maisonette co-founder Sylvana Ward Durrett.

Everlane the Grade-A Cashmere Crew

Everlane’s cashmere crewneck was recommended to us by several stylish men, who say that it’s an excellent affordable option for a sweater that’s soft and substantial.

Everlane the No-Sweat Sweater

Here’s an everyday sweater that’s woven from the brand’s recycled Coolmax polyester, which wicks away moisture so you won’t get overheated during your morning commute.

Everlane Premium-Weight Long-Sleeve Mariner Tee

A wardrobe staple for Francophiles (or Wes Anderson stans) that is really discounted.

Everlane the Performance Chino | Uniform

Some slightly tapered  chinos  that come in 13 colors and are made from a quick-drying cotton blend.

Everlane the Athletic 4-Way Stretch Organic Jean | Uniform

These stretch-denim jeans  “just may be the most comfortable I’ve ever owned,” says former New York associate editor Louis Cheslaw. They have much more give in the hip and thigh than classics like Levi’s 501s.

Everlane the ReNew Transit Weekender

We also love the brand’s backpacks and totes for perfectly combining form and function.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments , rolling luggage , pillows for side sleepers , natural anxiety remedies , and bath towels . We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
