Trip Reports from the old SlowTrav website

[Sharon J]

This is terrific. You certainly have permission to include mine. We are finally going back to Lake Como and Nico's lovely place at Sant'Antonio outside Montepulciano this coming May. Covid certainly ruined many of our planned trips. Then, back to Positano and Nico's again next October. Fingers crossed. No matter where we go in Italy, we Always spend a week with Nico.

Thanks Sharon! I will get in touch with you.

I am moving my trip reports over. I kept them in a blog section of SlowTrav, then moved them to a separate blog when I left SlowTrav. I closed that a few years ago. Now I am copying those old trip reports over and adding photos. I am starting at 2003 (Switzerland and Italy). By 2014 I was posting my trip reports on Slow Europe.

This is good news! Have sent a DM

SlowTrav went offline in 2018. There were 800+ trip reports on the site, written by SlowTrav members. I love trip reports. Since 2014 we have been collecting trip reports on Slow Europe, in the Trip Reports forums (by country).

I have a copy of all the old SlowTrav trip reports (I used site cloning - scraping - software) but I cannot legally publish them on Slow Europe unless I have the permission of the author.

Here is the list of all the old trip reports on SlowTrav. The ones that have been moved are marked and have a link to their new location.

If you have a trip report that was on SlowTrav and would like to move it to Slow Europe, it can be moved in one of two ways:

1. I will send you a Word doc with your trip report. You can then publish it on the forums.
2. I will publish it for you.

Contact me by PM (click INBOX in the upper right) if you would like your trip reports published here.

It does not matter if the trip report is older. I have been re-reading many of them and they are still relevant and interesting.

Thanks to those of you who have already moved your trip reports over!

I think I already gave my permission, but in case I hadn't, please publish all of our trip reports. I believe we had some from Spain and Italy, and maybe other places. Have I sent you one from our 2019 trip to Spain?
