New York - Do you travel frequently? If so, then there are chances that you are leading a much happier life than those who don't venture out at all - a whole seven percent more - reveals a new study.
The study, published in the journal Tourism Analysis, showed that participants who reported regularly travelling at least 120km away from home also reported being about seven percent happier when asked about their overall well-being than those who reported travelling very rarely.
"While things like work, family life and friends play a bigger role in overall reports of well-being, the accumulation of travel experiences does appear to have a small yet noticeable effect on self-reported life satisfaction," said Chun-Chu (Bamboo) Chen, Assistant Professor at Washington State University.
