“We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.”

Chill, conscious, and quietly iconic, this playlist from Yayaki Hotel, the first meat-free hotel on the island of Spetses in Greece, is slow living in audio form. Curated for sun-drenched mornings, slow breakfasts, and island strolls, it’s everything we love about Yayaki: thoughtful, grounded, and a little unexpected. Save this for your next mindful escape to Greece because travel sounds better with intention.

Scaled by Ah Hua Kelong

In a foodie paradise like Singapore, where most produce is imported and space to grow food is nearly nonexistent, Scaled by Ah Hua Kelong is redefining what local seafood can be.

Born from one of the country’s last-standing fish farms, Scaled brings the ocean straight to your plate. Here, “farm to table” means more than just fresh, it means direct access from kelong (offshore fishing platforms) to kitchen. Powered by tech, care, and a whole lot of local pride, Scaled serves up sea-sational bites that prove local really is best.

Despite being surrounded by ocean, Singapore doesn’t fish much of its own seafood. Industrial development, busy ports, and limited fishing zones mean most of it is imported. That’s what makes Scaled such a standout, a meal this fresh is a rare gem!

Scaled by Ah Hua Kelong is a reminder that even on a tiny island with barely any space to farm, big things are possible when you lead with heart.

In this week’s What’s Hot & What’s Not by real travellers like yourself, say Hi to Zuzana, an SEO expert and accidental sustainable traveller.

Zuzana is a founder of a small remote SEO business Elysiumm and curious slow traveller currently exploring Southeast Asia with a backpack, a laptop, and a deep love for any spicy food.

🔥 What’s Hot

slow travel through Thailand, planning your movement around how you feel, working remotely from local cafés and coworking spaces, spontaneous barefoot beach yoga sessions, wandering through temples without a set plan, choosing accommodations close to desired spots, favouring walking, boats, and shared taxis over driving, staying in hostels and locally owned bungalows, dining at night markets, refilling water bottles, volunteering, learning from locals, connecting with fellow travellers, embracing moments of peace under palm trees, language barriers and loneliness as growth opportunities, believing in being present over being perfect.

❄️ What’s Not

rushing through destinations without truly experiencing them, staying in large hotels or resorts disconnected from the local community, traveling just to check countries off a list, constantly being on your phone instead of engaging with your surroundings, overlooking the value of slowing down and immersing oneself in the local culture.
