Slow
Travel

Who are we?

Trevis

I’m Trevis, an early retired travel lover who has decided to take the opportunity of a lifetime to trade a conventional working life for one of long term travel. My profession was as a software developer and software development manager.

More people probably know me through my hobbies, though. Specifically social dancing (Salsa, Zouk, Argentine Tango, Swing, Bachata, Kizomba) dancing and photography. I plan to share my favorite images and the boring details of our slow traveling lives here and on Facebook.

I’m Chrissy, and my love for travel began when my parents, a pastor and a stay-at-home mom, took me and my sisters on road trips around the Midwest to visit relatives during summer vacations. We spent long hours in the car reading books and singing silly songs broken up by picnics, camping in our tent, and playing with cousins.

As an adult I started planning trips with friends to places like New York, Mackinac Island, and the Gulf Coast. Then I met Trevis and he caught my travel bug – yay! We both got passports and took off on our first of many trips together.

Where we are, where we've been?

What have we been up to?

Let’s Go to the Post Office

While I think that sending physical mail is something that is becoming less and less common in favor of electronic communication, I do have a handful of people in my life who I send and receive mail from, usually greeting cards or postcards.

Palacio de Bellas Artes

Palacio de Bellas Artes is a stunning theater which was built about 100 years ago. Construction started in 1910 but was disrupted by the country’s revolution and so it wasn’t completed until 1930.

Transportation in CDMX

Transportation within Mexico City is what you’d expect from any modern city. Taxis, buses, trains, rideshare all are present and work as you’d expect.

Xochimilco

About an hour outside of Mexico City is where you’ll find Xochimilco (sow·chee·meel·kow), home to a series of floating islands. Though, they aren’t actually floating islands, they only appear that way. The islands are connected to the earth.

On My Mexico City Bookshelf

Our apartment in Mexico City is tastefully furnished with comfortable seating, gentle lighting, and numerous bookshelves containing a wide variety of books in Spanish and in English.

Tourist week in CDMX

This strange new world of slow travel has us enjoying the amazing privilege of just rolling with whatever we feel like doing. In our second week here in Mexico City we decided to actually do more of the touristy things that we’d heard about.

Let’s Go to Church

When planning our time in Mexico City a year ago I had a church mapped out, not too far from our apartment, that is the same denomination as we attend in the U.S. (Lutheran).

You did what?? Visited the Dentist!

I expect that will be the initial reaction when family and friends back home learn that one of the first things I did upon leaving the U.S. was to book an appointment to go to the dentist.
