In today's times, traveling has become a fashion. People go on vacations with their outfits and pictures planned to be captured and posted with #wanderlust. This means that unlike older times, people today are actually prioritizing their desire to explore the world and are managing their life around the same. Growing up we always heard, “if a child has stagnated or slow intellectual growth, take them somewhere far away for a few days, they’ll return altered.” Traveling helps the mind gather spiritual peace, makes the body gravitate towards health, and revitalizes the sense and purpose of existence.
How can traveling benefit the elderly?
A happy mind
Old age blues can take a toll on the mental wellbeing of our elders. In this wake, it is indispensable for them to have a re-established purpose in life. Traveling can be a source of happiness and engagement for our elders in their retirement.
A fit body
Traveling can secure a level of exercise (mainly walking) for the elders which can be difficult to maintain in every-day life. This ensures a level of fitness that helps keep the body independent and moving.
Rediscover the world
Revisiting old places and discovering new ones can help one view the world with a completely new perspective. Reminiscing old times and marveling at new developments is the perfect way of accepting new times while never forgetting the old times.
