Human life is characterized by busyness and stress, so travel provides a refuge and helps reduce tension. Travel has physical and psychological benefits like enhancing happiness and lowering cortisol for calmness. Research shows travel can be a good treatment for frustration as an alternative to antidepressants, and that women who travel more frequently are less likely to be frustrated or stressed. Travel also allows people to experience new things, expand their horizons, engage with other cultures, and develop personally and socially while enhancing creativity.
