Why do we need to travel in a different way? Watch them and take a few short
notes on anything you agree with, or are totally against. What is your general
opinion of each? Give your own opinion.
Travel is an unforgivable experience which not only helps us to disconnect from our
daily lives by cutting down stress, but also makes us become a better version of
ourselves, through some psychological and physical changes. For starters, it improves
health, due to the fact that calm and resilience are key elements found in most trips. At
the same time, the interaction with other cultures (history, art, local food, architecture,
people, etc.) can inspire you and challenge your ideas, creating a more international
point of view.
Some may consider that psychotherapists could prescribe trips as a complementary
treatment for beneficial purposes. I see the point, because at the end of the day it’s mind
opening and can result in a learning experience, for instance: you could become more
adventurous by doing something outside of your normal lifestyle, for instance: going on
hikes or even visiting exotic places. Moreover, it’s a great method to learn to be a
conscious traveler and also appreciate things that are taken for granted, due to the fact
that it often takes to be away from home to realize how much you love it.
