I see where the author is coming from, but I have the exact opposite experience.
Me: I'm travelling to x
Chap: for how long?
Me: 3 days
Chap: Only 3 days?? You need at least 1 week!
If it is 1 week you need 2, if it's 2 you need one month.
I get the benefits of slow and deep travel, but I don't have the money and time to spend weeks in every single location I'm going. I also feel like there is a diminishing return on how much time you spend on each place.
So for the last few years I have been doing this 'speed travelling', and although it might look like checkbox ticking, I feel I'm getting a wider range of (albeit shallower) experiences.
So it might be the case that the dial has moved way too far into the fast travel and it needs a correction, but with the experiences that I am gathering now I'll be able to travel deep and slow to my favourite places later in life.
