Voyagone Experiences

According to Paul Nussbaum, a psychologist and adjunct professor of neurological surgery at the University of Pittsburgh, it’s not surprising that we feel more inspired when traveling.

To start, travel literally changes our brains’ structures. “Travel puts us into a novel and challenging situation we’re not familiar with, so we’re using our cortex,” Nussbaum says. This activation causes our brain to sprout new dendrites, which are tiny branches on the brain cell that pulls in information from the outside world.

The more dendritic branches we grow, the more resilient our brains become.
