Go to rest, listen to yourself
Without luxurious destinations or tight schedules, many young people choose to travel simply to relax and get rid of the daily pressure cycle.
Ta Khanh Linh (20 years old, Hanoi) said that she had fallen into a state of overload due to homework, study and surrounding pressures. That is also the reason why Linh decided to take a trip to relax and rebalance her spirit.
I chose to return to my hometown in Tien Hai (Hung Yen). For me, this is the place that brings the most peace and safety. Especially, when I get close to the sea, breathe fresh air, listen to the sound of wind and waves, I feel much lighter and healed from within" - Khanh Linh shared.
Similarly, Phan Viet Anh (21 years old, Nghe An) chose Ha Giang for his trip because this place has a slow pace of life, separated from the noise of the city.
“Life of studying and working is often accompanied by prolonged stress. Travel for me not only helps maintain inner balance but also gives me time to contemplate myself to understand myself better” - Viet Anh said.
For many young people, healing trips are not about going far or spending how much money, but about the feeling of peace, getting a proper rest, slowing down and giving themselves time to recover their spirits.
Enjoy nature, focus on experiences
According to Khanh Linh, the biggest difference of healing tourism is that it does not create pressure to have beautiful photos or to prove anything to others.
I don't need to run after a tight schedule or try to express myself, but just live fully in the moment, allow myself to temporarily leave work, limit social media use, rest, relax and listen to myself" - Linh said.
Agreeing with this view, Phung Thi Ha Trang (22 years old, Ninh Binh) believes that healing trips focus more on practical experiences than checking in to post on social networks.
Besides, Ha Trang also noticed that healing trips are often cheaper because they do not focus too much on formality. The main destinations are nature, mountains or quiet places instead of crowded tourist areas.
Many young people believe that this trend stems from the increasing pressure in modern life. Constantly having to study, work, develop oneself and be affected by social networks makes many people fall into a state of exhaustion and mental fatigue.
Traveling does not necessarily have to go to a remote or famous place. Sometimes just returning to a place where you feel peaceful is already a very meaningful way to heal" - Ha Trang expressed.
