For years,decades in
fact,I
’
ve puzzled over the
response most people have when I tell them I
mostly
travel alone.
“
You
’
re so
brave!
”
Why is it
that a woman travelling alone,as I have often done
for months at a time,considered to be
“
brave
”
,whereas
men who travel alone are entirely unremarkable?
You are only brave when you are afraid
of something but still do it anyway.I have never
been afraid
of travelling alone.
The first time I travelled alone was
when I was 19.I
was
due
to
travel in Europe with a friend at the
end of the announced by letter two
days before our departure that she would be

going by myself.I kept going.I got on trains by
myself,checked into hostels by myself and
found my way around by was strange at
first,but later I stopped worrying about it.
When I got back to Ireland after that
trip,I felt proud of myself.I had done something
that I had
assumed would be hard,and it
had turned out to be not hard at all.
That was three decades ago,and since
then I have travelled all over the world,usually
on my own.I
still do what I did

Australia,Poland,Hungary,Turkey,Indi

An
unconventional
new initiative(
首创
) in Canada
will soon allow doctors to prescribe art to their
patients
—
by
giving them free access to a local ing through the
Montreal Museum of Fine
Arts(MMFA),these patients and their
loved ones will be able to
feast
their
eyes
on
the peaceful
collections of art.
The
initiative is the first of its kind in the while
you certainly can
’
t replace
a
conventional treatment with a couple
of paintings,the idea is for such
“
prescriptions
”
to
assist a person
’
s
current treatment the new
program,members of the Francophone Association of
Doctors in
Canada(FADC) will be able to
hand out up to 50 prescriptions for their
patients.
These prescriptions will be
available for those with a wide range of mental
and physical illnesses,and
each of them
will allow two adults and two children to visit
the museum for free.
“
By
offering free admission to a safe,welcoming
place,a relaxing experience,a moment of relief,and
an opportunity to
strengthen
ties
with
loved ones,MMFA-FADC
Museum Prescriptions contribute to the

and recovery,
”
explains a news conference from the MMFA.
It may look a lot like a marketing
effort for the museum but
there
’
s also increasing
evidence that the
display of visual
art,especially if it
’
s
showing nature,can have positive effects on health
outcomes.
In some ways,the benefits of
looking at art appear a little similar to physical
activity.A systematic
review of
clinical art therapy(
疗法
)
found that visual art has significant and positive
effects on
depression,anxiety,mood,and
gs like these are slowly gaining attraction in the
medical
community,making artwork a
higher priority(
优先
) in
hospitals around the world.
In the
US,nearly half of all health care institutions
have reported including art in health care
programming,such as art therapy and the
placement of visual art in spaces
dedicated(
专用

) to
art therapy and also a medical consultation
room,the MMFA already provides services for people
with mental health issues,eating
