What is it about travel that sparks something deep within us? Why do we feel drawn to new places, cultures, and experiences? In this episode of The Travel Psychologist, we’re diving into the psychology of wanderlust—why our brains crave novelty, how travel shapes our identity, and the surprising mental health benefits of stepping outside our comfort zones. I’ll also share personal travel stories, fascinating research on how travel impacts the brain, and why some people seek adventure while others crave the familiar.
