Travel indeed makes people happier. In a recent study, people who took long-distance trips regularly were on average 7% happier than those who didn’t travel.
Travel makes you happier
When asked what they would do if they could do anything, many people answer they would travel. Seeing new places has this magical attraction, and now there is science to confirm it. People who travel are happier than those who don’t.
Scientists from the Washington State University set to research why some people travel more often and whether taking regular trips has any impact on a person’s happiness and wellness. 500 people took part in the study, discussing their trips over the course of one year, as well as how much time they spent planning them and how important travel was in their lives.
Those participants who regularly travel further from their homes (75 miles and up) were about 7% happier than those who do it rarely or never.
About half of the participants reported going on more than 4 trips for pleasure (excluding business travel) per year. Only 7% of people didn’t take any trips away.
When considering wellbeing, things like work, family and friends were the largest contributors. However, life satisfaction was higher for those who are talking regular trips.
Planning the next trip and discussing it with family and friends was a great predictor of people actually taking the tour. So, if you want your dreams of travelling come true, share them with people you know!
You can also feel better about putting effort and money into touring the world, as this is now a scientifically proven way to live a happier life.
