Travel is obviously connected to the idea of a means of transport and among all, flying is usually placed at number one.
\nFast, safe, low-cost: the plane is the most used means of transport when it comes to cover long distances in a small time on a budget.
\nWhat better means of transport to represent times like these, where everything is so fast?<\/p>\n

Travelling without plane<\/h2>\n

However, in the last years, a new trend has quickly grown: we\u2019re talking about slow travel, where the journey becomes part of the experience.
\nThis little revolution is being promoted by the experience of many writers and bloggers: an example is Federico Pace with his book Senza Volo<\/em> (Einaudi, 2008) in which he explains the pros and cons of every means of transport. Or Graziano Viviani, that has travelled\u00a0400 km on foot in the Italian Apennines, through 4 regions 11 provinces and 3 natural parks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Along with ecological reasons<\/strong>, to travel without flying means a shift in how we consider a vacation, which then becomes a real and actual journey in its traditional sense: distances get real and we aren\u2019t tourists anymore, but travelers.<\/p>\n

How to travel without airplane?<\/h2>\n

But how can we translate this into action?
\nSolutions are so many and they\u2019re much easier than you think.
\nIf you travel in Europe, an answer is Interrail. A plan has recently been approved: it guarantees to whoever lives in Europe and is born after 2000 a free pass to travel in 30 European countries. (info here: https:\/\/www.interrail.eu\/it\/pass-interrail\u00a0<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Less conventional solutions are for example findacrew.net<\/a>, a site where you can search for a boat-ride and owners of boats or you can build your own crew online.
\nOr again you can choose to ride with Flixbus, ferries or hitchhiking.<\/p>\n

And there is also the chance to travel in a totally sustainable way if you travel by bicycle<\/strong> or on foot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cycling tourism is on the increase: there are many websites dedicated to it (here you can find, for example, a list of all cycle routes in Europe) but also territorial projects like VENTO, a cycle path project of 679 km<\/a> that ,when realized, would connect Torino to Venice.<\/p>\n

Travel on foot is also subject to hundreds of blogs, articles, and books<\/strong>.
\nMattia Miraglio<\/strong>, a 29 years old guy from Savigliano, narrates his experience in the book A passo d\u2019uomo<\/em>: he walked for 11.000 km from Piedmont to New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Travel without flying is both a way to support sustainable tourism and to transform your journey into an actual life experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Possibilities are endless: leave behind the hustle and the bustle and leave for an adventure!<\/p>\n
