“Bhavana Gesota is well-traveled and has mastered the art of ‘slow traveling which she defines as being “an offbeat, slow and responsible manner of travel in which everyday life unfolds within the framework of a different culture.”
—Review on Amazon
“What really separated this book from others in the genre is its emphasis on conscious slow travel. In the delirium of going on vacation, we often forget that we share the social responsibility to the destination and to our planet. This book reinforces this message and is something we all should aspire to in our travels.”
