It’s a very good idea, the restorative effects on taking a break from modern life has been practiced a long time in Scandinavia. Both my brother and my father has tech intensive stressful jobs in healthcare and keeps their minds by hiking, cycling, skiing and kayaking. These types of activities or relationship with nature does have a term called friluftsliv.
Personally I think the effects are similar to meditation when you are on a long hike.

- closeparen 9y agoI have a hard time doing these things without a car. Being able to reach a nature site/park/recreation area on public transit with a huge group of people makes it feel like just an extension of the city and city life. You’re surrounded by a mob of people with their phone cameras out, even if you don’t have yours. How do countries without mass car ownership pull this off?
