Road trips, outdoor time linked to happiness: Survey
Social distancing norms is the ``new normal" and it has the world spending more time indoors than ever, but a new survey revealed that 94 per cent of people report they are happier and healthier when they spend time outdoors.
It seems like remote workers have also caught the travel bug. For those with the flexibility to work from the road, a change of scenery doesn`t have to tap into vacation days. Work-from-home (WFH) workers are 2.5 times more likely to say they would take more road trips if they had access to an RV, with 72 per cent of respondents reporting they are planning to take more road trips as a result of widespread work-from-home policies.

The survey shows 70 per cent of respondents would rather go on a road trip with family or a significant other than go alone, and that air travel could be a hassle. Three out of four people noted they would describe their last road trip as a "much needed escape" and would plan to take one again soon. (Photo: Pixabay)
