Why you should go on a trip after a breakup
BECAUSE YOU WILL CREATE NEW MEMORIES
When a breakup occurs, we find that all of our special memories (or most of them) are linked to our now ex-partner, so urgently create memorable memories it can help us to make the past ones weigh a little less. Because as the grandmothers say, a blackberry stain with another blackberry is removed ; and inexplicably, the memories look a lot like blackberry stains. The image of the moment in which you discover the Treasury of Petra behind a gorge or contemplate Finisterre sunset it can replace, at least while you are grieving, those that are not doing you any good now. And you will also have new photos to put in the empty frames.

BECAUSE YOU WILL MEET NEW PEOPLE
Whether you want to admit it or not, and whether or not you were one of those Siamese couples who do everything together, while you're in a relationship you lose some interest in meeting more people. But after the breakup you feel the need to change the scene and connect with people totally unrelated to what has happened to you and that they do not look at you with the face with which they look at their children when they leave them in the nursery crying. Traveling will force you to overcome that animosity for social interactions developed early in the breakup and opening up to new people with different ways of coping that can speed up your recovery process.
You will meet other people (whether you like it or not)
BECAUSE YOU CAN BE SOMEONE ELSE
That wonderful concept that the Anglo-Saxons call fresh start, it is as necessary after a breakup as the diet after Christmas. Forgetting what you have been told you were or what you thought you were is only possible by temporarily changing the scene. Maybe you've always had a surfer inside you and you won't realize it until you set foot in California. The world could be missing the new Kelly Slater because of your sedentary lifestyle . And you could be missing out on a good tan.
Surfing in California, what if you are the next @ Kelly Slater?
BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECALIBRATE YOUR ASPIRATIONS
Now that all your plans have changed, you may find that you need to look new goals in life because getting married and having children becomes more complicated when single, especially the getting married part. Therefore, the way to know which path to choose begins with knowing those paths. Because that "expand horizons" is not a casual expression.

BECAUSE IT WILL SERVE YOU TO GET AWAY FROM THE FOCUS OF DANGER
Because running away is for cowards, but there are times when, between being cowards or being like the Blackberry crying in the corners , the same is preferable to be cowards. After the rupture it flees as if it were a fire; or even more reasons because you wouldn't have to put up with things like your friends telling you they've seen that fire, or seeing the fire with another. And if in your escape you can end up in beautiful places, well that's what you take extra.
Run away, get away from the focus of danger
BECAUSE YOU WILL PROVE THAT YOU CAN FEEL FOR YOURSELF
Until now you have been two in everything, in the bad things and in the good, and especially when it comes to facing problems. It's comforting to know you have someone watching your back, but it is also comforting to realize that you are self-sufficient to jump by yourself the potholes that appear along the way. Something as simple as being faced with **communicating in languages you don't speak or reading a map (or even worse, folding it)** may be what you need to recover your surely battered self-esteem.
Fix it yourself (and fill yourself with pride)
BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE TO PAMPER YOURSELF
If there is ever a time when everything you do is justified, it is now. well not all stick to the law, but you can splurge. Because just like when you have a bad day you need a reward for overcoming it, after a breakup you have to give yourself those whims that you didn't give yourself before. Burn the VISA and go on an adventure because for a short period of time you have diplomatic immunity in your financial decisions.
