Why We Wander: The Psychology of Travel and CultureWhy do some of us dream of getting away, and what actually happens when we do?
This talk explores the science behind travel and what it does to the mind. Drawing on social and cross-cultural psychology, we'll look at why new environments shift the way we think and connect, and what it means to need a break or feel pulled toward somewhere new.
Whether you're a seasoned explorer, a homebody who's perfectly happy where you are, or somewhere in between, the psychology of why humans wander has something to say about all of us.
This talk is for anyone who's ever packed a bag—or just thought about it. No background in psychology required.
