🇬🇧 Exeter Study Break Guide: Nature Therapy for Anxious Souls 🌿

As an international student drowning in deadlines (and self-doubt), I’ve discovered three soul-saving escapes within reach of Exeter—because even "watery" UK degrees demand real sweat! 🌊 1. Exmouth: Seaside Salvation 🚆 Train/bus from Exeter → 15-min walk to the beach 🍟 Must-eat: Gigantic fish & chips (split portions—trust me!). ✨ Why go? Salt air, pastel beach huts, and the rhythmic crash of waves drown out essay stress. 🏞️ 2. Dartmoor National Park: Wild Epiphanies 🚂 Train to Okehampton → Hike via AllTrails (try the Teign Gorge loop). 🐑 Therapy squad: Sheep, ponies, babbling brooks, and oddly joyful hikers. 💦 True story: Sat by a fairy-tale stream, cried, then laughed manically—10/10 mental reset. 🌉 3. Exeter’s Riverfront: Urban Oasis 📍 Access from St Davids Station or The Quay 🌅 INFJ heaven: Watch swans glide as the sun paints the Exe gold. Free serotonin! 💡 Pro Tips Go solo for introspection, or bring friends for shared silence. Pack: Waterproofs, snacks, and zero guilt about skipping a library day. #ExeterLife #StudyAbroadTherapy #NatureHeals
