In the past week, I have completed my research about the benefits of traveling. I took notes on this in a google document so that all my notes can be easily accessible. According to the organization, Green Heart Travel, a few main points that I learned about the benefits of traveling are being able to build up confidence, getting out of one's comfort zone, and possibly learning a new language.
Based off of the research I did, I was extremely surprised at one of the sources that I found. There was an article about a study posted on Los Angeles Times, and this study was conducted by the The Global Commission on Aging, Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, and the U.S. Travel Association. They were able to find out several important results of traveling:"89% of participants saw significant drops in stress."
"Men who did not take an annual vacation were shown to have a 20% higher risk of death and about a 30% greater risk of death from heart disease."
What makes this information important is because it will persuade people to travel more so that it can benefit their health. Now, I am excited and looking forward to finally get started on researching the cultures and traditions of Spain!
