My husband and I are masters of slow travel. After all, that is how our relationship started – three weeks of leisure travel in Palawan, one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines. We do research a bit beforehand but we don’t really mind getting side-tracked. It only adds up to the fun.

My job allows me to travel a lot and  because of budget constraint I usually stay in affordable hotels. I don’t consider myself very fussy about accomodations when travelling for business, usually a small room with a clean bathroom and warm water is sufficient. I have even stayed in a hotel for truck drivers and slept on a car in a parking lot in France.

But when I travel for pleasure, I do like to splurge on expensive hotels especially when I am with my husband. I think it is very important that when you came back to your room from whatever activities you did, you can relax fully and feel pampered.
