DATING
20 Ways Traveling Can Help You Get Over Your Ex
By STEPHANIE HARPER
New Environments
Being stuck in all the places you spent time with your ex makes it difficult for you to move on from the relationship. Switching up your environment is a fabulous way to help you start successfully moving along in your healing process and enjoying places in a way that doesn’t incorporate your ex whatsoever.
Bonding With Friends
Sometimes you just get lost in your relationships by distancing yourself from platonic friends and getting too wrapped up in your romantic connections, even if it was something you did unintentionally. Inviting your besties to join you pushes you both into the perfect position to bond and immerse yourself in new locations.
Building An Itinerary
Building an itinerary for a vacation can be incredibly time-consuming and distracting — in a good way. There’s no time to mope around because making an itinerary filled to the brim with fun things you want to do during your travels will take some dedication, effort, and focus.
Doing Things Your Way
While it’s safer to travel as a group, if you take proper precautions, solo travel allows you to be selfish with how you do things without having to deal with anyone else’s schedule. Everything you do will be completely up to you and your personal preferences.
Experiencing Freedom
Depending on what kind of partner you were dating, it’s possible your relationship felt somewhat like a burden throughout its duration. You may feel an amplified sense of freedom when you take yourself on an adventure through travel following your breakup without having to be held back by your partner.
