What is a journey? ( journey as a metaphor )

A journey in literature for me it’s just not traveling to see a place. Literature helps people visit a place even if it doesn’t exist. I’ve always like the idea of knowing how the world was before I got here. The literature that I have read has helped me visit places in a certain different way. For example, I visited St. Augustine in Florida and it gave me the feeling of being in a different era, but by reading a book that takes place in a year were the fort was use, I was able to interact more with the place. Other example is the forts in San Juan. When I visited ‘’ El Morro”. I saw where they kept the prisoners and for a moment I felt I was actually living in that Era. Other place I would like to relieve would be the renaissance era. I believe that a journey ends where the persons will to continue and imagination ends.
