Human speed is about truly experiencing the world around you. Walking, sailing and cycling let you see, hear, and feel a place in a way that driving never can. These slower methods of travel give you time to notice details - the way light hits a tree, the sounds of a neighborhood, the texture of the ocean.

Public transit like trains and buses can also offer a more concious way to travel, letting you take in the scenery without the stress of driving. Cars, by contrast, trap you in a bubble of constant attention, forcing you to focus on the road instead of the world passing by. For bystanders they create noise and traffic that disconnect us from our enjoyment of the environment.

This site shares stories of travel at a human pace, hoping to show that the journey can be just as important as the destination.
