Things such as timing, finance, employment, and family obligations, among other considerations,
affect whether or not people can travel, but studies consistently show that if at all possible people
should undertake a recreational trip for psychological benefits. These benefits are on numerous
levels.
Travel acts as a disruption and gives your brain new encounters, which in turn improves brain
function; the brain feels “rewarded” because of the trip. A person on holiday must consider things
such as new ways of transportation, customs and cultural norms. At first, such changes seem
unpleasant and stressful; but later it is seen that the brain must be on its toes, which helps mental
flexibility. This helps generate creativity that will extend and last even to when the travelers go
back home and even helps them perform better at jobs. In addition, when travelers visit different cultures and meet the people there, tourists see that
others really are just like themselves; and this helps on an interpersonal growth level, they become
more tolerant and flexible about unfamiliar things in life. This increases a person’s sense of
empathy, which in turn helps a person more successfully deal with issues at home with others. Then
back at home they can learn to appreciate new things more, such as a new dish or a new genre of
music.
Furthermore, travel helps alleviate stress from daily life; it acts as a slower pace of life where a
person can focus on their own pleasure for a change. De-stressing this way helps even when people
return home because of the good memories they keep from the trip. The memories encoded by
travel help maintain a “zen space” that people can revisit whenever they need. Such space is
recommended to bring peace into a stressful situation and help remember beautiful or peaceful time.
In summary, travel, a way to live life for its own sake in the short term, temporarily helps
people forget about day to day routine work and duties. Going on vacation helps people by growing
as a person and learning to appreciate new things and new ways of life. By all means if you have
time, make travel part of your schedule.
