Jane discusses her Going Slow community, which supports travellers who embraced life abroad during the pandemic, normalising alternative lifestyles. Samuel shares his journey from being a successful photographer to finding peace and fulfilment on a regenerative farm. Isabel reveals how full-time travel shaped her perspective on life and financial priorities, emphasizing experiences over material possessions. Together, they dive into the challenges of fast-paced living in Singapore, the benefits of a slower lifestyle, and practical tips for managing finances while traveling. They discuss the importance of personal happiness, introspection, and the misconception that financial independence must come before slow travel.
