Traveling positively affects mental health by reducing stress, improving psychological well‑being, and promoting resilience and cognitive flexibility. Research demonstrates that exposure to new environments, nature‑based tourism, and regular leisure travel can significantly alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, foster social connection, and enhance overall life satisfaction. This article examines scientific evidence on the mental health benefits of traveling, identifies mechanisms of psychological improvement, and highlights why travel should be valued as a holistic approach to well‑being in the modern world.
