When Slow Travel Becomes A Part Of Your Own Story and A Slow Destination or A Hotel Simply
A Part Of You
From Memory Thread To Let's Go!
Hotel Stories and travel adventures are the life transforming jewels or nightmares (always worth a laugh) that make up the narrative of our lives. Sense memory triggered by smells, music, nature, feelings, art, language and food seep into our imaginations and stay there keeping us fine turned for a little magic. Memories, if we are lucky, are the gifts that keep giving and going to places that set the stage for what you imagine or never imagined you could do, experience or see.

Travel is the ultimate way to personalize a brand like a place. It immediately becomes yours. Your life also becomes a memory catalogue and novel, an experience rolodex, grab that thought and savor it! Now is the time to revisit and reimagine. With #COVID 19 blurring our edges, how do you we define paradise now? Can we get there from here? Do we dare? Just use your imagination, your photos, your stories and share them.
It is subjective, experiential, readily available in your mind from a feeling, a photograph, a phone call a film, just about anything can bring you back to that place.You stay in a place that becomes a part of your personal library or even influences the way you design your home and your dreams.
Slow Travel Style
People you meet on the road or at a hotel, on a tour, in a cafe, on a trail, can become long term relationships or very brief and hopefully wonderful encounters. We CAN still have them even if we are in masks, or on a plane, train or walking. I am looking forward to the organic nature of wandering and having an adventure without the shackles our current circumstances. It's time to dream up the next adventure.
Going away to a favorite inn or a new destination, a location that taps your creativity and drive transforms into your ability to tell stories and enhance your senses and inspire someone else to go and do is part of the magic. It is entirely up to you and how you draw your life out of yourself and share it with others. Right now, SHARING your experiences is actually a great way to connect. Start a memory thread of your favorite trips and have people share some of their favorite stories.

Staying somewhere tucked away or in the middle of it all in a place that makes you feel larger than your life or completely transported is why we travel. Inns like this little tropical enclave below elevates the business of being a person into about who you are and what you can do or feel just by being out of your element. Here are some snapshots of my little treasured spots and people.
