I Hate Being Liminal - on the transition to home from a trip abroad
[Photo: View of the Li River from my conference hotel in Yangshuo, China]I think I just experienced one of the longest travel-related liminal experiences ever (at least for me).Liminal experiences are those that are characterized by transitions from one state of being to another. Tourists experience liminality when they transition from a home-based state of being to a travel-based state.
