How the great outdoors can benefit the world-weary traveler

Aside from being a globally-renowned DJ, James Haidak keeps himself busy with a plethora of activities that range from researching restaurant establishments, participating in environmental efforts, and traveling.

James Haidak believes in his heart that traveling can do a person a lot of good in more ways than one. Aside from learning about new cultures and exploring exotic places, traveling in itself can boost a person’s physical and mental health. James gives camping and hiking outdoors as one of the best examples of this.

Especially helpful for travelers who have grown weary of their everyday lives, traversing through and spending a few days in nature can provide more than just fresh air and exercise. For so many people who’ve hiked and camped in nature preserves or other similar places, this time to commune with nature has offered respite and enlightenment.

One of the most important things hiking and camping does for travelers who have gotten tired of fast-paced urban life is detaching them (travelers) from technology, specifically all the devices that connect them to work, social media, and anything else that demands time in the online universe.

James Haidak explains that in the great outdoors, people can spend time admiring the world, being grateful for the things they have, and recognizing everything they’ve taken for granted. There’s a clarity in nature that the urban landscape and the hustle and bustle of everyday life drown out. And James Haidak adds this clarity is just there waiting for travelers who have gotten weary.
