That is my problem with so-called wanderlusters and how traveling is sold this days as a type of "solution" or "therapy" - people just assume traveling is a decision everyone can make, but not what it actually is - a possibility a few can take.
It is easy to conflate too. Is it the travel destination, or just the simple break from working, different climate or the change of scenery. I think travel being good for “westerners” talks to how homogeneous towns and cities have become.
Maybe if the next town was interesting, getting on an airplane for 8 hours would be less needed.
And it's not that it actually does wonders.
