The Need to Wander: Travel’s Psychological and Cultural Value During Disruptions explores why travel matters far beyond vacations, tourism, or leisure. Written in response to the global stillness of the pandemic era, this thoughtful nonfiction work examines how movement, place, anticipation, novelty, memory, and cultural contact shape the human mind.Rupen O. Adhikari reflects on the emotional and psychological value of travel through stories, research, and cultural observation. The book looks at why canceled journeys can feel like lost versions of the future, why small acts of movement can restore a sense of possibility, and how travel helps people understand identity, belonging, relationships, and the wider world.Blending travel writing, psychology, cultural analysis, and reflective essays, The Need to Wander is for readers who have ever felt restless, changed by a journey, or reminded during disruption that the world is larger than the room they are in.
