journeyed

Made a trip

Journeyed is the past tense of journey, meaning to travel from one place to another, especially over a considerable distance: They journeyed across the desert for three weeks.

The word carries a sense of deliberate, sustained travel rather than a quick trip.

It appears often in narrative contexts: She journeyed back to her homeland after decades abroad.
