Nostalgia Vacations Help Adults Feel More Optimistic

An estimated 60% of parents have taken their families on vacations that reminded them of their childhood, according to a

2015 survey from travel website Priceline.com Many adults are now taking their children to the resorts where they spent their own summer vacations as children. As we grow older most of us get more nostalgic. There’s something special about being able to relive your youth with your own child at the same time. Most guests are sort of taken aback by how much nostalgia hits them. It's the smells, the views, and sometimes it's even the relationship that were made. There is something magical about watching your children playing on the same beach that you played on when you were a child. This is one of the reasons many guests choose to rebook their vacations year after year. They are giving their children a gift, some not even realizing it. Taking a nostalgia vacation can help adults feel more optimistic about the present and the future, according to a 2013 study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, because they help us put things into perspective. What brings back your positive memories?
