GASTRONOMIC GETAWAYS!
By Jason Jourdan
Smithsonian Magazine reported on a study published in the Journal of Positive Psychology proffers that individuals who participate in small creative projects will experience a sense of happiness regularly. Within the study, cooking and baking were one of those variables tested for a boost of serotonin. The control that comes with measuring ingredients and the joy of a successful outcome makes cooking enjoyable for the masses. In the same regard, traveling is an activity known to stimulate the brain positively, hence, the birth of the culinary tour.
Neurologists believe traveling rewires the brain, increases creative capacities, and opens the mind to new ideas. Exoticca released an article detailing why you should go on a gastronomic tour:
– You will favor local producers
– You will live unique experiences
– You will learn more about the country
