In her article "Playfulness, 'World'-Travelling, and Loving Perception," Maria Lugones describes "world traveling" as the experience of oneself as belonging to a multiplicity of worlds, constituted by different cultural conventions, languages, and histories, which shape a person's self-understanding, behavior, and relation to others. While many engage in what Lugones calls "world-traveling" of necessity, simply by belonging to multiple worlds, she suggests that for others, undertaking world-traveling intentionally, and playfully, can cultivate loving perception across difference.
