8
Facts that Will Make You Want to Travel More
Traveling is a passion for many but not
everyone is alike and not everyone can have a natural passion for going to new
exciting places. The benefits of traveling cannot be denied even if you don’t
have a passion for traveling. There are many reasons why traveling around the
world is healthy for anyone and if one was to count them, the list would never
end. Benefits, like embracing new cultures and
understanding the point of view of people based on their social and
geographical background, are things which are not available anywhere
else.
This list of facts is specially compiled for those who do travel but
seem to have run out of reasons for going on new journeys. These 8 facts will
motivate you to travel more often.
Problem-Solving Skills
Psychologists have found out that people
who venture in foreign lands have improved problem-solving
skills as compared to people who don’t travel much. The reasons for this have
been ascribed to the effort which travelers put just for their daily survival
in a foreign land such as managing of their finances, deciding between which
modes of transport to use etc. The ultimate result is the improvement in their problem-solving skills which stay after they’ve come back.
Decrease Heart Disease
Traveling has been shown to decrease heart-related problems. A decrease in heart
disease also suggests an increase in the life
of an individual. A study was carried out on 12,000 individuals for 9 years
which found that people who took at least one vacation in a year had a 30
percent reduced risk of heart disease. This is independent
of one’s level of income or overall health; it only depends on one’s
desire to take a break from the humdrum of daily life.
Happiness
Science has shown that you can actually buy
happiness by spending your money on experiences instead of products. This is
much different from the conventional wisdom which says that driving a faster
car or moving into a bigger house will make you happy but the results have been
completely different. This is a great reason to convince your significant other
and start packing your bags now after all everyone deserves to be happy, right?
Medicine
A research has shown that traveling really
is the best medicine. It is also the potion
to maintain one’s youth. This research by the Global Commission on Aging and
Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies has shown that traveling reduces the
risk of depression and improves both the mental and physical health. These
benefits of travel are often immediate; nearly 90pc of the respondents saw a
decrease in stress in just one or two days of traveling.
Creativity
If you ever thought there is a Michelangelo
in you who is just waiting to come out then you should definitely go on a trip
to Italy, Spain and France to see some of his most beautiful creations in real
life. Not only will you appreciate the great pieces of art but, according to a
study conducted at Indiana University, you’ll also become more creative in the
process. You will think about better ways of handling situations which is another sign of the creative mind.
Creativity is no longer a gift from the gods;
you can get it for yourself. Now is the time to act. To make the best use of
your creativity, save your money by shopping using Groupon at discounted prices.
Smart
Moving out of your apartment and going to
some other part of the world makes you smarter. Experiments were conducted
which asked the participants to solve a local problem and it was found that
most participants had their thinking limited to the problem at hand whereas
those who had been abroad used knowledge from other fields which could be
applied to solve the problem at hand. Travelers are smart, traveling makes them
smart.
Sexier
One of the biggest factors behind aging is
stress. Traveling has been shown to reduce significantly in just two days of
going on a trip so it can be inferred that people who take regular trips and
spend more time relaxing and being carefree will age slower and will be more
radiant. They’ll be looking young and sexy when their friends will have
wrinkles and look tired.
Find Yourself
Traveling alone has been shown to increase
our knowledge and widen our perspective of the world. This exposure helps us in
understanding ourselves better and finding our true calling in life.
