This trip was very different… I was very different. I wanted to capture that sense of unfolding in words. Too often my trips feel like project plans — tasks to be completed, connections reduced to quantity rather than quality.
I’d never really slow traveled in the UK before, though I’ve done it in other countries that were new to me. One of the highlights this time was a morning-long scavenger hunt with Hannah in London — solving clues as we explored layers of the city’s 2,000-year history.
Stepping back, I see the whole trip in that same light. It’s something I’d recommend to anyone: finding the time and space to let the essence of a journey truly reveal itself.
Love this, Robert. Hope your travel continues to feel this way in the future. You're teaching us how to experience life in a different way.
Thanks, Sharon!

I hope I can learn to do that! You're inspiring me!
