Travel is linked to greater happiness, empathy, and creativity. Research suggests that even the thought of a trip can give your brain a boost.  Even during a pandemic, thinking about travel can make you happy. Planning a trip is good for mental health!<\/p>\n

Right now may not be the right time for vacation travel but that doesn\u2019t mean planning your next trips should be cancelled too. According to researchers, looking forward to your next adventure could benefit your mental health; even if you\u2019re not sure when that adventure will be.<\/p>\n
