Lugones's view of world-travelling provides us with a different way of thinking, just like the possibility that we can navigate the world of different ideas. In an analysis of what she called the "outsiders" outside the White/Anglo organization of life living organization, Lugones proposed the so-called "world" and "travel" views. In her opinion, a world must be the one who is currently living with this body and mind. People can travel freely between the worlds and can live in more than one world at a time. In different worlds, people will have different qualities of self as Lugones's own experience. In one world, she is considered to be playfulness, but in another world, she is deemed to be serious. She believes that the "I" of these two worlds is the real "self." And the transition between the different self-worlds constitutes what she calls "travel." This means that knowledge and theory generated anywhere can easily travel around the world, and elsewhere, it needs to have the "self" that can cut into the social reality of this time and space. There is another possibility here. The author attempts to replace the feminist public-private division with a more general "individual" than the individual placed in a particular relationship in the political slogan. Through this transformation, it has also shifted from a world that focuses on the specific power relations between men and women to another world of ideas. This is a world of homosexual society with a homosexual community and a mainstream, a culture in which the public is inevitably interdependent and in a general sense. It is indifferent "worlds" that the theory finds different "self" with different "traits," and it is these differences, and perhaps even contradictory, "self."

I would like to express that Lugones regards "travel" as a communication tool or a way to understand the world of others. According to Lugones said, "The reason why I think that travelling to someone's "world" is a way of identifying with their is because by travelling to their "world" we can understand what it is to be them and what it is to be in their eyes." By going to each other's world is a way of understanding yourself and others, and how to understand women is also part of love. Because Lugones tries to find "truth" in different worlds, stating that we are open to the world and released in our own specific structure.

At the end of the article, Luguons said she did not want to be a victim of arrogant perceptions like her mother, and she believed that "world-travelling" was incompatible with imperialism. The word "understanding" has appeared many times in the text. I think that in the extremely complex society at the time, she thought how to understand others is the goal that she or women have been pursuing. Feminism does not only derive the right to speak from men but promotes class equality between people. Only when we walk into each other's world will the emotional bond become stronger. She explained that "Another way of being at ease in a "world" is by being humanly bonded." This connection of emotional bonds is characterized by emotions similar to love and trust, and this process is what the author calls "world-travelling," looking for common ground between each other, building trust and feelings (love), there is no race and color of women here. People often create another "I" when they choose to escape from reality. This "I" may be a completely different one. Just like the author, there are two opposite characters. And I think that another world is more like being built up because of dissatisfaction with the present or giving in. Besides, you can freely do whatever you want in the world you built, or what you think is right. Everyone's world is independent, and different thinking and rules symbolize why understanding is such a difficult thing in our life.
