More and more people now understand how visiting and exploring unfamiliar places can be very beneficial for your psychological and emotional health. Doing so can let out stress and anxiety and can even revive your dying soul deep within. But did you know that traveling can give you more than that? Going to different places around the globe can also make you live longer according to a study posted by the BBC.
So if you want to give yourself the best present you deserve, then leave your comfort zone now. There are a lot of beautiful and wonderful places the world has in store for you to discover. Here are some of those.
THE DEAD SEA
Located at the heart of Jordan and Israel, the Dead Sea is known all over the world for being an extremely salty oasis. It contains a high content of salt of about 33.7%, which is around eight times more than the normal salinity of the ocean. Because of its high sodium chloride concentration, it is nearly impossible for anyone to swim in the Dead Sea. Those who would dare to try to bathe in the sea would only tend to float no matter what they do, as reported by USA Today. Also, not a single organism can reside in this body of water except for a certain species of algae and bacteria.
KYUSHU, JAPAN
Even before this year has started, Japan has already been so busy preparing for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games that will happen in Tokyo from July to August. But though the focus is on the main event, Japan is still offering its nearby places such as Kyushu for tourists and guests to discover, especially those who would prefer less crowded places. The city has so much to offer when it comes to its majestic scenery, rich cultural attractions, and mouth-watering delicacies. So if you want to visit Japan to witness the Summer Olympic Games yourself, better to explore Kyushu too.
KYRGYZSTAN
Located near Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan is the jewel of Central Asia, which features a lot of gems like rugged mountains, breath-taking sceneries, and vast bodies of water. Though this place isn't as famous as other destinations such as London, Madrid, Hong Kong, and Jamaica, Kyrgyzstan has its own beauty that could stand out amid other places in the world. Some of the must-visit places are Issyk Kul, Song-Kul, Tash Rabat, Burana Tower, Altyn Arashan, Osh Bazaar, and Sulayman Mountain.
As another new year unfolds, let's welcome it with positivity and a fresh start. No matter how negative last year has been, it is just crucial to give ourselves the time to heal and move on. Traveling and be lost to unfamiliar places is a good start.
