THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TRAVEL

 An application of knowledge about the human mind and behavior specifically to the activity of
travelling.

Travel is one of life’s major activities engaged in by millions of people who go between different cultures
for the purpose of business, education, service or pleasure. For example, while we feel relatively safe
and secure in our comfort zones at home, we are largely unconscious of much that goes on around us in
a completely new culture.

Like all human activity, travel can impact our lives in good and wonderful as well as bad and horrible
ways. Travel psychology can help us maximize the good and minimize the bad in travel.
