Exploration Stimulates the Brain
Learning new things stimulates the neurons in your brain, and certain cognitive challenges — like learning a new language — can improve brain function in a number of ways. Sensory stimulation is another great way to boost brain power, especially when all your senses are challenged.
This is where travel really shines: not only does it encourage linguistic learning, it hurtles news tastes, sights, smells and textures your way, and together these can help to improve your attention, concentration and problem-solving.
