I'm a new member, and I'm definitely into slow travel.

My name's Dave, single, and I live in North Florida. As a freelance writer, I recently sold my house and put myself in a position where I can begin spending long periods traveling. Over the past year, I've been figuring out how to manage my life and business from the road.

My plan is to alternate three-month stays between Europe and Florida.

My challenge is to find a nice place to stay in Europe where I can have high-speed Internet access, walking access to groceries and train, and a quiet old-world atmosphere to work and relax.

I'm eager to leverage other travelers' experience, and I appreciate any suggestions of quaint towns on the continent where a writer can find inspiration and a comfortable home away from home.

Three months in Europe, three back in Florida! Sounds terrific to be able to make such choices. Happy research and planning!

Welcome Dave!

This sounds like a wonderful plan. Your next decision is narrowing down the choices - there are nearly as many "quaint towns on the continent where a writer can find inspiration and a comfortable home away from home" as there are Slow Travellers.

Enjoy the hunt!
