trip

When one travels, one takes a trip; whether for a vacation (international, national, or as part of a local staycation), on business (i.e. to attend a meeting or as part of a daily commute), or to visit friends and family. There are many kinds of trips, including the road trip (whether one travels by car, rv, or motorcycle), cruises, as well as airplane and train travel.

In literature and life, often self insight is gained on a trip, whether in one's own country or abroad. Jack Kerouac's epic road trip throughout North America and Paul Bowles throughout North Africa led them both to question the underlying philosophy of their lives as well as led to books which solidified their literary reputations.

Tim Leffel's Cheapest Destinations, Vagabonding, Travel Blog, and Everything Everywhere are four good blogs to help inspire your future journeys.
