In the Middle Ages, the idea that "When a body with disabilities touches a part of the body of the saint, the disease cures" has become popular, many people went on a journey to touch the body of the dead. For example, in case of a back painful Catholic, touch the bone of Apollonia's patron, the patron saint of the tooth, in the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Italy, or go to the church of Jesuits in Antwerp and find the chin of Apollonia I was urged to do it. A woman who is married unhappy also goes to Umbria, Italy, and is a patron saint of a couple's problemRita of CassiaIt seems that there was also contact with the Holy Bone of.

In modern times, the "journey for curing disease by virtue of virtue" as mentioned above is not performed much, but even now, in order to obtain an idea that can not be obtained by withdrawing from home, There are many people traveling to. And actually, by feeling the climate, the vast landscape, the difference with everyday life, you may get healing and change of physical condition.

The custom of "a journey to cure disease" has already been lost, but the therapeutic aspect of the journey remains partly. However, a detailed analysis of what kind of journey will have an influence on human inner life is rarely done. The travel company will present various catch phrases to us such as "fun of outdoor", "adventure out with family", "secret hideout, Okoshima", but in order to change the inner side of us, What point is not shown "is not shown.

actually,""I want to go on a trip" Advertising copy best 10"When you can not see yourself, go see the world" "Take off your watch and go to Bali" "If you get stuck in yourself, travel is the best medicine" "Ambiguous but healing There seems to be a palm effect "words.

In other words, we do not just obey the ambiguous "healing journey" presented by the travel industry, but after clarifying "what kind of psychological change do you want to get yourself", "where will you go It is necessary to decide "of". So, as a philosopher and essayistAlain de BottonExplains how to choose the purpose and place of the trip.

Location: Greece, Rhodes, Pefkos Coast
Reason: To eliminate anxiety

ByKillamarshian UK

In order to get rid of anxiety by a tired person, you need to see the medieval townscape, the ancient shrine and eat delicate local cuisine, but just sunshine.

People who have worn this jumper or coat for a long winter and have taken only simple foods such as deliveries are thirsting for sunlight. If you have a big umbrella on the coast, feel the warm sea water, if you lie down in the blue sky and clouds without clouds, nature and shrinking muscles should relax. The sun's light also has the role of giving generosity, energy and confidence to us. While comfortable as prepared every day, it makes it easier for people to live, but on the other hand it deprives the impression and impression of many things. But under the heavy sunshine it is far from comfort and I do not feel like thinking about things because I read books.

Those who think too much, become too serious, work too hard, lie down under the sun is not comfortable, it is important to rest your brain and body. By doing so, you will be well balanced and will later become submerged in deeper thinking.

Location: SpainSevilla, Islay Mayor, pump station
Reason: To deepen your interests

Travel guidebooks list various places as "highlights". For example, as a highlight of Seville city in Spain, be sure toSpanish squareAnd the royal palace of Spain "AlcazarAlthough these are introduced, these aresnobIt is often a selection by people, that is, those who want to show off that they have knowledge. "Osusume" as mentioned above unilaterally determines what is important for people, unconsciousness that important and valuable things have already been discovered by others and that they are gathering fame from all over the world It is dangerous to include the premise of.

This premise is not a problem to us in everyday life, but with regard to traveling, by doing adventure based on our own interests rather than information obtained from the tourist office, it is more deeply inside of ourselves It will be able to dive to the place. Even if you do not write it in the famous guidebook, if you are fascinated by the dry ground of Seville, it is good to observe the pumping station.

Location: DetroitEastern Theater
Reason: To remember that things will change

ByThomas Hawk

Detroit several decades ago was a very lively city, but now it has been declining, the shutters of the theater have been lowered, the houses where no one lives are lined up, and the streets of sadness are spreading. For this reason, tourism magazines do not recommend "vacation spending in Detroit", but peopleEphesusYaIzmirTaking a trip to Detroit, which has turned into ruins, is quite novelistic considering visiting the ruins of the city.

Most of what I currently have disappeared in decades or hundreds of years, and we should always be conscious of things that will never exist forever. And we look at the ancient ruins that once was a gorgeous figure, and feel the impermanence and the prosperity necessity. Just a few years ago when I was watching Detroit's West Okman boulevard, which can also be called the "modern ruins", from recalling naturally that he was overflowing with people with hope, it is exactly as Detroit as "ruins" It can be said that it moves emotions. Also, at Detroit's auction, a house is bidding for $ 1000 (about 120,000 yen), so it is possible to experience how close a thing that the things that protruded from the economic world lose value.

Location: General store at the corner of Yokohama
Reason: To overcome psychological limit

When I was a child, everyone should have experiences that teachers encouraged me to give a speech in the classroom and my head turned white. When traveling in a foreign country, you will often experience something similar to that. For example, when a young man who came from the United States tried to buy a prepaid card of a mobile phone at the street corner of Motomachi in Yokohama, he tried to explain it by pointing his phone, but the shopkeeper did not understand it at all and he had a strange face I will. At that time, I feel like I'm stupid, maybe I want to give up and return to the hotel. However, shamefully finished shopping and, when thankfully laugh at the shopkeeper, people learn a lot and overcome the shyness. And that experience will be a big help for future life.
