Sojourn

A 'sojourn' refers to a temporary stay or visit in a place, lasting from a brief period to several months. It is often used to describe someone living or working in a location temporarily, without implying permanent residence. For example, a researcher might have a sojourn in a foreign country to conduct studies, or a traveler might have a short sojourn in a city before moving on. The term emphasizes the temporary nature of the visit, distinguishing it from permanent relocation or long-term residence.
