If you're looking for a New Year's resolution that will improve your mind, body and mood, consider the benefits of traveling abroad. Unlike traditional resolutions like pledging to exercise more frequently, traveling has immediate benefits - plus it's way more fun. According to USA Today, travel can bestow several educational advantages. It not only gives you a broader understanding of world cultures and history, but also makes you more resilient to change and adversity. Traveling abroad is like taking accelerated courses in history, interpersonal communication and critical thinking.
