Contestation of the cultural mainstream is the root of several new social phenomena within current euro-American civilization. One of them is the Slow Movement — a social movement calling for a slowing down of the pace of everyday life. The Movement’s call for the protection of slow time has arisen from the fear of compression of time in the last decades of the XX century. One of the methods of protection proposed by Slow Movement is to view the business trip and journeys to work as a time for contemplation. This article aims to depict the phenomenon of travel connected to work as a factor of a change in lifestyle.
