Travel

Here's a short text on travel and happiness,

A study published in the journal, Applied Research in Quality of Life showed that the highest spike in happiness came during the planning stage of a vacation as people enjoyed the sense of anticipation. In the study, the effect of vacation anticipation boosted happiness for eight weeks. After the vacation, happiness quickly dropped back to baseline levels for most people...Generally, there is no difference between vacationers’ and non-vacationers’ post-trip happiness..

...As opposed to actually taking a holiday, it seems that planning a vacation or just a break from work can improve our happiness.

Moral: Plan a Trip - But don't take one.

Despite the scientific argument against taking a trip, I took a lot of trips like many others who like to experience the essence of places by themselves!
