Slow Travel in Europe — Meaningful Journeys, Made Simple
Planning a trip to Europe can feel overwhelming. As your Slow Travel Expert, I create practical guides, thoughtful resources, and personalized services to help you explore with purpose and ease.
I’m Renee Hannes, your Slow Travel Expert and founder of Dream Plan Experience.
For more than 35 years, I’ve explored France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain — not as a checklist traveller, but as a seeker of culture and connection.
Travel feels different when you slow down — when you swap rushing for lingering, observing, and connecting.
Today, I help travellers like you design trips that go beyond the surface — whether through personalized trip planning, ready-made travel guides, or inspiration to embrace intentional, immersive travel.
Because the best trips aren’t the ones where you see the most — they’re the ones where you feel the most.
