Episode Details

What if the best travel destinations aren't about sights, but about a completely different relationship to time? This episode explores the world's most genuinely laid-back cultures—from Bhutan's Gross National Happiness policy to Vanuatu's "island time" and Laos's "bor pen nyang." But we also dig into the tension: what feels like a peaceful escape for a visitor can feel like stagnation for a local. If you're looking for the extreme antidote to the frenetic pace of modern life, this is your guide—with clear eyes about what you're actually visiting.
