Revenge has been a big travel motivator after years of pandemic restrictions. This year, Heather Greenwood Davis says its time to get our wanderlust back on a more positive track
Last fall, I stood on the edge of a cliff, high above a rushing river, pretending I needed to take a picture of the scenery so that I could hide my desperate need to catch my breath. The hike was one of many I’d tackle at the Mountain Trek Health Reset Retreat in Nelson B.C., an elite, wellness experience that placed hiking poles in my hand, a sugar-free and fat-limited diet on my plate and hill after bloody hill in front of me.
Within days of cancelling my first flight, I bought sexy, new luggage. It was my personal revolt against what was happening, a promise to myself that, given the chance to travel again, I’d be ready to go. So many of us did something similar and when the skies opened a few years later, airport concourses were clogged with travellers. The idea of “Revenge Travel” was born.
Revenge as a reason for travelling simply isn’t sustainable. Travel has never been just about taking the trip. It’s about being present while you’re on it. It’s about pausing and looking at where you are and asking yourself the tough questions about why you’re there. I may have set out on my post-2020 whirlwind of adventures simply because I could, but by the time I paused, I knew there were so many other things that had brought me to that B.C.
