Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to interpret the journey of Salomea Pilsztynowa, described in her memoiras of the eighteenth century. The peregrination of the main character is discussed in the context of sociological and existential aspects of travelling, with consideration of specifications of geo-poetics. The key issue is thus the relation between a location and a person, relation which describes the model of a journey and defines the traveller’s figure. The journey, created in the memoir, combines the features of experimental and existential tourism with wandering about without any plan.
