From a psychological and even philosophical perspective, what does it really mean to travel? Are we running away from something or towards something, or both? Is it just about changing places, or is it about changing the way we see ourselves? Why do some journeys feel transformative, while others feel strangely empty? And in a world that often feels random and unpredictable, why do so many of us feel an almost urgent need to leave, move, and explore?

 

In this guided discussion hosted by David, chief psychological counsellor and a dedicated practitioner of existential psychology, we’ll explore travel not as tourism, but as an existential experience. Together, we’ll unpack how travelling can become a way of searching for meaning, confronting uncertainty, and rediscovering parts of ourselves we didn’t know were missing. Through stories, ideas, and open conversation, we’ll ask whether travel helps us escape our lives, or understand them more deeply. No philosophical background needed, just curiosity and the courage to reflect on what it means to be on the move, both in the world and within yourself.

 

从心理学甚至哲学的角度来看，旅行到底意味着什么？我们是在逃避什么，还是在追寻什么，或者两者兼有？它仅仅是换个地方，还是改变了我们看待自己的方式？为什么有些旅行让人觉得充满改变，而另一些却感到空洞无力？在一个看似随机且不可预测的世界中，为什么那么多人感到迫切想要离开、移动、探索？

 

在这场由David主办的引导性讨论中，我们将探讨旅行作为一种存在体验，而非仅仅作为旅游活动。一起剖析旅行如何成为一种寻找意义、面对不确定性、重新发现自己那些被遗忘部分的方式。通过故事、想法和开放式对话，我们将探讨旅行是否帮助我们逃避生活，或是让我们更深刻地理解生活。无需哲学背景，只需要好奇心以及反思自己与世界关系的勇气。
