The Tranquilo Traveler
The Tranquilo Traveler is a celebration of voluntourism, slow travel, and other interesting ways to see the world. Travel writer and award- winning Moon Handbooks author Joshua Berman created The Tranquilo Travel as a resource for world trippers and international volunteers, a window to the author’s travels in Nicaragua, Belize, and beyond, and an update of his books and articles.
“Think Smart. Travel Slow.”

That’s the motto of Planeta.com, the Global Journal of Practical Ecotourism. This superb site is an astounding treasure chest of practical information for exploring the world in a conscientious manner. They offer online workshops, web seminars, and countless news items, stories, and practical links. On a similar note, TransitionsAbroad.com (also a print magazine) is THE portal for information on working, studying, volunteering, and living abroad. They refer to these activities as “alternative travel.” Gadling.com calls it “engaged travel.” I call it “tranquilo.” It all means the same thing: exploring the world, “smart and slow.”

Hey, thanks for getting the word out about our motto!
If there’s a movement for slow food, we’d like to be at the forefront (or is the back?) of slow travel!
