A change of scene always gives my spirits a lift and I am even prepared to travel alone to distant places such as India, Bhutan, Japan and China. And apparently it really has been doing me good because research suggests people who travel more are healthier.
University College London researchers found regularly travelling more than 15 miles away from your home means you are more likely to be in good health.
It seems people who visit a wider variety of places tend to see friends and family, and this socialising gives mind and body a boost.
