Common misconception
That taking journeys is only about getting from one place to another in an efficient way.
Travelling between locations may be about getting there quickly for commuters, but journeys can also be taken in free time for pleasure. For example, taking long walks in natural places, or bike rides in the countryside are very enjoyable journeys.
