Using Travel to Boost Well-Being With Dr. Andrew Stevenson

We all know vacations are fun, but did you know how good they are for you? This week’s guest is Dr. Andrew Stevenson, a social anthropologist, filmmaker and senior lecturer in psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University. Andrew’s new book, The Psychology of Travel, looks at what travel can do for us and how we can approach it differently to get the most out of it.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why travel is so good for our mental health. Why we’re never really traveling “alone” and how other people affect our travel experiences. The link between memory and travel.
