We always like to think of travel as a wonderful thing. However, a lot of the reasons that we travel actually have to do with tough times in life. Perhaps we’re going through a tough time and we travel to be close to loved ones. Or maybe someone we know is having a hard time so we go to be with them in their time of need.

It is probably more common to travel to someone else in their time of need. Your mom gets sick and has to go to the hospital so you fly home to be with her. Or your sister tells you that she’s getting help in a Florida drug rehab center so you hop on a plane to support her by being there. And of course, we often travel to go to a funeral or memorial service when someone we love dies.

But it is also important to remember that we can travel during our own times of need. People sometimes do this after a tough breakup. It’s good to get away from the place of your pain and go be with friends somewhere else. Recognizing when you need to travel to a safer space is an important part of taking care of yourself. Not all travel is done for happy reasons but it’s all important!
