A sailing holiday in Greece is a bucket-list experience for many, with good reason. Greece is a unique mix of ancient history, delicious food, and stunning scenery. I was visiting Greece as a solo female traveler, so had decided to join a guided tour. A tour offered the chance to join a group of like-minded travelers to share this sailing experience with.
Finding sustainable tours is a great way to incorporate the three pillars of sustainable travel: social, economic, and environmental.

The “slow movement” encourages individuals to adopt a quantity over quality mindset. From slow food to slow lifestyle, the slow movement is all about slowing down to be more conscious and present in our everyday lives. So, what is slow travel then?

Here at Traverse Journeys, we believe that slow traveling helps foster a deeper connection with people and culture.

When I joined up to travel with Traverse Journeys on their trip to New Zealand all my worries were squashed and I am now a firm believer that small group travel is ideal for anyone and a great way to travel, and travel responsibly.
