“With slow travel I associate that you are not feeling that you need to be somewhere or to do something special. You take the time to feel the vibe of a place, you read a book, you take a short walk with your partner. The small things become the most important things and there's little focus on reaching a destination, to me. We discovered that in the campervan, living simplified.”
We’re in great company with Jeremy & Erle, Founders and Owners of WonderInn, where they decided to build something together in the natural wonders of Norway based on their own worldly travels and common philosophy, “it is the real experiences and not the materialistic distractions that are important.”
After many years traveling the world, living minimalistically in a campervan, they returned to Norway to create small architectural gems in different corners of the countryside - drawing guests back to nature and into inspiring and comfortable havens, they themselves have made home.
In this episode, Jeremy & Erle happily share how if there is one thing they both enjoy more than traveling, it’s hosting - people who bring different backgrounds and stories to their little nooks of Norway.
