I took my first vacation and international trip at the end of January this year. On my last day as I had my last breakfast in the Maldives, I looked out into the ocean, took a deep breath, and began to cry. It was at that moment I realized how much I needed that time, that vacation, that travel experience, and how much I had missed it.
The feeling overwhelmed me and I knew at that moment how travel and the lack of it had impacted and affected my mental health.
This week I’m joined by David Levine, author of "The Hudson Valley: The First 250 Million Years" and travel writer who wrote The Many Ways Travel Is Good for Your Mental Health, and Dr. Jean Kim, a psychiatrist who has not only written about "Why Travel Is Good For Your Mental Health", in Psychology Today but certainly understands it from a clinical perspective.
