How does Sonia Justo's perspective on travel as a thought exercise challenge conventional relaxation methods?

Sonia Justo often frames travel as a mental reset rather than just a way to “switch off.” In her words, trips are moments to change perspective, imagine herself in other situations, and calm “a brain that is always boiling with ideas,” not only to rest the body.

This challenges conventional relaxation, which usually means doing less and thinking less. For Sonia, true rest includes active reflection, questioning routines, and seeing life from new angles—using movement and new places as a thought exercise, not an escape.

Does that resonate more with how you experience travel, or do you usually prefer to fully disconnect when you are away?
