The benefits of travel go beyond making memories and meeting new people. Staying away from the (1) ______ things of daily life and exploring a new place can have a remarkably positive impact on your emotional well-being and your (2) ______ powers. Travel can improve your emotional well-being in two aspects. First, changing your daily routine, for example, taking a trip to a nearby town on a weekend day, can help (3) ______ your mind and deal with the daily (4) ________. Second, physical exercise is known to improve emotional well-being and travel offers plenty of opportunities to get active. Getting to know a new destination by (5) ______ the great outdoors can boost energy levels and improve your mood. Travel can also improve your cognitive powers due to the exposure to different cultures. Whether you venture abroad or simply to the next town over, a trip away from home can help enhance your (6) ________ and reveal a world of possibilities beyond your daily perspective. Something as simple as learning a new (7) ______ or changing the way you spend your downtime can have a dramatic effect on your well-being. It's been proven that new experiences – particularly ones that allow you to (8) ______ yourself in a different culture- improve the performance of your brain, (9) ________the restrictions, and increase creativity. Evidently, travel itself (10) ________ you with the freedom to do what you love, to rest, and to try something new.

Instead, this renaissance of creativity appears to be a side effect of difference: We need to change cultures, to experience the disorienting diversity of human traditions. The same (5) ______ of foreign travel that are so confusing (Do I tip the waiter? Where is this train taking me?) turn out to have a lasting impact, making us more creative because we're less (6) ______. We're reminded of all that we don't know, which is nearly everything; we're surprised by the (7) ______ stream of surprises. Even in this globalized age, we can still be (8) ______ at all the earthly things that weren't included in the guidebooks and that certainly don't exist back home. So, let's not pretend that travel doesn't have its (9) ________, or that we endure jet lag for pleasure. We don't spend 10 hours lost in the Louvre because we like it, and the view from the top of Machu Picchu probably doesn't make up for the trouble of lost luggage. (More often than not, I need a vacation after my vacation.) We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret cornerstones of (10) ________. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything.
