Traveling to new places is a powerful lifehack for creatives. The exposure to new environments, cultures, and perspectives can stimulate the imagination and reignite creativity. One of the key reasons is that traveling can broaden your experiences and exposure, which is essential for creative thinking and problem-solving.
According to psychologist Abraham Maslow; experiences and exposure to new environments are key components of self-actualization and personal growth.
Traveling to new places can provide this wealth of opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery because it triggers the mind to think in a completely different ways.
