What is travel escapism?
What is travel escapism? Michael Brein, a psychologist with a specialty in travel, “Travel escapism that invites you to increase your feelings of self-esteem and self-confidence… tends to ground you in the present and requires you to deal with virtually everything that is normally mindless back home.”
Why do some people travel so much?
Travel takes us out of our comfort zones and inspires us to see, taste and try new things. It constantly challenges us, not only to adapt to and explore new surroundings, but also to engage with different people, to embrace adventures as they come and to share new and meaningful experiences with friends and loved ones.
How traveling changes your personality?
More open to new things. According to the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, travel opens you up to new experiences and other things that you wouldn't usually try or even engage in and this can feed back into your normal everyday life back home.
