How is your life? Are you also very busy with work, social activities, the children, sports or festivals? There is so much choice and so much to do. So many things we like and don’t want to miss. The hectic pace of our lives seems to have become the norm. But we increasingly miss the essence of the moment. Slow Travel is the solution.
The power of slowing down
When you’re always busy, there is a great chance of losing sight of yourself. It becomes increasingly difficult to guard your own boundaries.
In daily life it’s valuable to pause every now and then. To take a deep breath, go for walk, listen to some music. Slowing down helps you get closer to your feelings again.
Regular vacations provide moments of rest and happiness. Some people really like it busy on vacation too, they’ve got a lot of energie. Then just go for it!
But if you try the way of slow travel, then you might want it for the rest of your life.
Fear of missing out
Do you know yourself as a person who wants too much and is afraid of missing out?
You’ve checked the website on all ‘must sees’, hot spots, best restaurants, best waterfall, resort or party? You’ve asked questions on certain groups and posts to get the best tips? Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) is on you. And once home you then feel like you need another holiday.
But: “Its the not the destination, It’s the journey.”
Connect with the destination by travel slow
More than once reactions of our guests are even more positive after a day of ‘going with the flow’. On top of awesome experiences of visiting beautiful nature like bays, waterfalls and mountains, there is time. Time to connect with nature and yourself. Less planning on a day gives you the chance to relax more and to meet people. To chat, chill out and dance at a local bar on a favorite song. Learn about the local way of living and Rastafari culture. In stead of seeing everything you can experience it all. There is no time schedule, no rushing, no bad traffic. Only being in the moment, in the now.
Who wouldn’t want this?
Slow travel is sustainable travel
In general, you make more sustainable choices by slow traveling. You invest in the local economy by using local transportation, buying souvenirs from local arts & craftsmen. Buying your food and drinks at fruit stalls along the way or at local shops. And often you go off the beaten track to explore hidden gems.

1. Had a fantastic and versatile trip with Rappa Rasta! Thanks to Rappa I got to know the real Jamaica, away from the tourists. With his relaxed vibe and good conversations about everything and anything the days flew by! I can recommend a trip with Rappa to anyone who is open to getting to know Jamaica. Tirtsa.
