Our Story
We are Marc and Pam. During our working days, our travels were on a typical two-week vacation pace, occasionally extending to a massive three-week adventure.
One trip we visited the Nordic Region, all 5 Countries, in 26 days!
After that whirlwind, the idea of Slow Travel captivated us.
Marc's ideal stay starts with a meticulous neighborhood exploration, turning left and right, circling our block to understand the town.
Meanwhile, I dive into new places, visiting downtown museums, libraries, and cultural centers that define the essence of each town.
Slow Travel
Slow Travel has many names - Slowmad, Unrushed Adventures, Mindful Roaming, Extended Stay Wanderlust, and my personal favorite
In-depth Peregrination. (Look it up, its a real word)
For us, it means deliberately staying in a single City for at least 4 weeks, learning about the area. and living our day-to-day life.
Itinerary
We believe in "Probably" travel. This is our current plan, but... it will probably change and will likely be adjusted and might possibly never happen.

Hotter than I expected, but our AirBnb was in a great location.
We were lucky to get in to Panama as travel had been limited due to conflicts within the country. In the end we felt safe, The Presidential Palace was our neighbor.

Two stops here. First to Quito for a week of sightseeing, then on to Cuenca for a month. I loved both of the cities and learned so much about the history of the country. Along the way I made new friends and... for the first time in my journeys I got travelers tummy.

A great Airbnb for my month long stay. Close to the subway, the grocery store, cheese store, train station, Starbucks on the corner, and McDonalds in the next block. I didn't visit Starbucks, but McDonalds turned into my comfort place.

Two people, a four bedroom house and a lifetime collection of "stuff". If we wanted to move into a Slowmad way of life, we'd need to get rid of it all. Getting down to a checked bag and a carry on each has been one emotional trip. Here's how it we did it

Marc and I have spent our careers building million dollar projects, running mostly on schedules and test runs. How would we know that Slow Travel would work for us? We tried it out with a 5 week trip to Washington D.C. Technically our Airbnb was in Maryland, but close enough.
