Most of Iceland's visitors see the same 300 kilometres. The Westfjords and the east get a fraction of the traffic for arguably better landscape.

Scotland is one of the few countries where the slow route is the good one. The train, the postbus and the ferry reach further than most visitors realise.

Namibia is one of the great self-drive countries and the gravel roads are what catch people out — most rental accidents here are single-vehicle rollovers.

The fjords are best seen from the local ferries that Norwegians actually use, which cost a fraction of the tourist boats and go to better places.

Slow travel is usually described as a philosophy. In practice it is a set of concrete decisions about pace, accommodation and transport that cost less.
