triptriggered
Triptriggered is an informal term used in travel writing and online communities to describe a specific emotional response to travel-related stimuli. A person is described as triptriggered when sensory cues—such as a street scene, a particular smell, a dish, or an itinerary detail—reignite memories of past trips and provoke a notable emotional reaction. The phenomenon is usually associated with nostalgia or excitement, but it can also include distress linked to difficult travel experiences. Triptriggered is not a clinical diagnosis; it is a descriptive label for subjective experience.
