Why is Traveling  necessary for self well-being?

  1. Stress free life : Vacationing only a day or two, 89 % of people are able to relax and leave work stressors behind, according to the Global Coalition on Aging . It is obvious that you feel relaxed and stress free, when your boss is not calling you whole day, kids are not nagging for school home work, you need not to worry for your dinner to arrange or not likely to prepare next days ‘to do list’.
  2. Lower Health Risk: Travel reduces the possibility of diseases  as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, heart disease, colon cancer, breast cancer, depression levels and more, according to the Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee.
  3.  Improved Mental Well-being: According to the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, those who travel abroad tend to be more open and emotionally stable. Exploring new places tend to learn more culture, lifestyle, peoples view. So, you compare your situation easily.
  4. Improve concentration level:  Through travel your brain is sharpening as well as enjoying the world. It refreshes your inner sense and spirit for next step. Doctors say that travel promotes brain health and builds brain capacity to handle the considerable stresses – financial challenges, job stress, family tensions etc. After leaving all works behind, you focus only your mind for pleasure in travel so when you back its easier to do alone.
  5. Improve family bond: Everyday life, husband & wife is becoming mechanic. When husband is in home, may be wife is in work. When she is back, husband leave for night shift. Kids are missing their parents and waiting for a year to play or spend time.Nothing to do for the career sake. When you are away from all chaos, its a high time to spend quality time with full attention with your loved ones.

A vacation cost depends on what you decide to spend. Take an hour or two to figure out how much your trip would cost you and your companions.
