Travel can indeed feel like escaping reality, offering a break from daily routines, stress, and responsibilities. For many, it's a healthy form of escapism—gaining perspective, boosting creativity, and fostering growth through new experiences. However, when used to chronically avoid underlying problems, it becomes unhealthy, as issues follow wherever you go.Psychologists note moderate travel escapism is beneficial, unlike addictive avoidance.Sources: The Travel Psychologist
