Slow Travel
Trains, long roads, and staying put. Journeys where getting there is most of the point and nobody is counting the days.

The Night Train Still Wins
Vienna to Venice in a bunk, for roughly the price of the airport transfers alone. What the sleeper actually costs, what it actually feels like, and when it is the wrong call.
Two Weeks in One Bag
Not a minimalism exercise. A list that has survived fourteen days across three climates, and the four items on it that are doing all the work.
Norway by Ferry, Not by Car
The road along a fjord shows you one wall of it. The boat shows you both, costs less than the fuel, and takes the time the scenery deserves.
Train or Plane: The Honest Maths
Door to door, with the transfers, the queue and the hour you lose to security. Where the train genuinely wins, and where the rail romantics are kidding themselves.
One Stage of the Camino
You do not need five weeks. One good stage, walked properly with a bed booked at the end of it, gives you most of what the whole thing is for.
A Month in One Sicilian Town
Staying put is a way of travelling, not a failure to. What a month in one small place does that a fortnight across five cannot.
Prague on Foot, No Timetable
Four days with nothing booked in a city small enough to cross twice before lunch. What turns up when you stop scheduling it.
