Traveling is a holiday for the brain. You break with routines, press the reset button, and get to know new things, people and places. When you’re young you associate it with trips to summer camps. When you’re an adult you think of relaxation when you travel.
Tips on how to get your brain going on your next trip
- Do things that bring you joy.
- Be curious — look for the new and different.
- Take care of others — whether family or new acquaintances.
- Play, rest, think about life — take time to replenish your inner reserves.
Thanks to neuroplasticity, you know that the brain continues to grow and change throughout your life. That means it’s never too late to learn new skills or try new things.
