Coliving & Remote Work Glossary
What is Slow Travel?
Slow travel is an approach to exploring the world that emphasizes depth over speed. Instead of rushing through a checklist of destinations, slow travelers stay in one place longer - getting to know the local culture, people, and rhythm of daily life.
It’s about being somewhere, not just passing through.
Why Does the Term Matter for Remote Workers or Digital Nomads?
For digital nomads, slow travel helps prevent burnout and improves both work and well-being. Staying longer in one place means better routines, stronger WiFi setups, deeper local connections, and fewer logistics. It also aligns beautifully with the remote work lifestyle, where you’re not just a visitor - you’re living and working somewhere new.
Plus, slow travel is more sustainable, both environmentally and emotionally.
How Does Nomadico Relate to Slow Travel?
Slow travel is at the heart of how Nomadico works. While our stays start from 1 week, our average guest stays about 3 weeks - and many extend longer. This gives people the chance to settle in, make friends, and really experience the destination beyond the tourist lens.
We also love when guests return to the same home or country months later. It’s part of building a lifestyle, not just ticking places off a map.
Common Misconceptions About Slow Travel
“It’s just for retirees or people with unlimited time.”
Not true - even remote workers can slow travel by spending a few weeks or months in one place.
“It’s boring - you don’t see enough.”
Slowing down helps you see more - just in a different, deeper way.
“It’s less productive.”
Actually, staying longer in one place helps with routine, better work-life balance, and less travel fatigue.
