Knowing you have a place to fall back to certainly lends itself to exploring. In my case, however, I don't have that security. One of the reasons people find traveling so expensive is they do so while maintaining a home where they came from. Paying rent back home and traveling at the same time is expensive.

But for the constant traveler, home is where you are traveling and when you take that approach it is much more affordable, especially if you choose places that are economical and you have an online source of income. It is a leap of faith and riskier, but the upside is you can travel longer and as a result, experience more of the culture that a typical vacationer has the time to.

One of the reasons I'm in Thailand now is it is so cheap to live here that for very little money one can do and see a lot of things.

Slow Travel, as it is called, is a mindset that rejects traditional ideas of tourism and encourages you to soak in your environments and keep yourself open to new experiences.

Slow travel is not so much a particular mode of transportation as it is a mindset. Rather than attempting to squeeze as many sights or cities as possible into each trip, the slow traveler takes the time to explore each destination thoroughly and to experience the local culture.

Slow Travel means that your travel dates might be flexible. It means that you wake up in your new locale and you have no idea what adventures will await you that day. Slow travelers tend to like to indulge in local cuisine, local entertainment (instead of the tourist-created entertainment you find at a resort), and more.
