We explore the intersection of slow travel and the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement. Joining us are: Isabel Leong, a travel blogger and SEO coach at Bel Around The World; Samuel Goh, a photographer turned farmer; and Jane Tor, a digital marketer and human design expert.

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.

Curious to learn more about how you can balance financial freedom with a fulfilling life of travel? Keep watching to find out!
