In February, Dan Kieran will discuss the reason's he thinks travellers should stop looking for the fastest travel options, take the 'slow travel' option, and learn to appreciate the experience of travelling. Dan asks if we really travel any more, or if we just arrive. Besides extolling the virtues of 'staycation' holidaying, Dan argues that we need to bin the brochure, glide rather than fly, embrace disaster, be epic in our travel pursuits, and immerse ourselves in the life-changing experience of true journeying. Dan will speak on the 12th.
