eng	The World Reveals itself to those who Travel on Foot: Slowness as a Value in Contemporary Travel Writing	When Werner Herzog stated that “the world reveals itself to those who travel on foot,” he highlighted a notable trend in contemporary travel writing. Modern walker-writers often advocate for slow travel, positioning it as a sustainable alternative to the fast-paced globetrotting and allure of exotic destinations. This presentation will explore a variety of texts by British walker-writers, such as R. Macfarlane and R. Winn, to illustrate their perspectives on slow mobility. It will demonstrate how the imagery of walking in their prose reflects current discussions about the significance of embodied experience, the deep connection between humans and their environment, and the growing focus on environmental issues.	landscape; embodied perspective; Raynor Winn; Robert Macfarlane; British literature; travel writing
