A sojourner is a person who temporarily resides in a place that is not their permanent home. This term often refers to individuals who travel for various reasons, such as work, study, or exploration. Sojourners may stay in a location for a short period, experiencing the local culture and environment without fully integrating into the community. In many contexts, sojourners can be distinguished from permanent residents or immigrants. They may seek to learn from their experiences and return to their original homes after their stay. The concept of sojourning is relevant in discussions about migration, cultural exchange, and globalization.
