retraveling

Taking trip twice

Retraveling is traveling again over the same route or to the same destination: We found ourselves retraveling roads we'd driven twenty years earlier.

The word appears in both literal and figurative contexts—one can retravel a physical path or retravel memories.

Also spelled *retravelling* in British English.
