After many conversations with people who move, who leave and come back - after my own journeys and readings, I feel like it is possible to specify different types of trips or journeys. According to my character, my experience and this season of my youth, I think I isolated my ideal type of trip.
To present it more vividly, I put it in comparison with two other ways to conceive and live a trip - two "classics": 'tourism' and 'road trip'. Even if the third one, 'Immersion', is the more intense for me (I have only experienced it fully a few times), the first two have their own charms and focuses.
Of course, these types are not realities, only tools to share different ways to experience otherness, or "ailleurs-ness". In reality, they are combined together and with thousands of other ways to travel
