Abstract

While there has been a growing level of quality research in the field of childhood studies both in the social sciences and humanities since the 1990s, there seems to be a remarkable gap in the topic of children and travel/tourism research. The paper aims to address the gap, in a limited way, by analysing the spatial and temporal dimensions of children’s travel in literature and specialized travel guides, relying on two chosen concepts: Bakhtin’s chronotopes, and the ancient Greek concept of kairos, interpreted by contemporary philosophy. The methodology used combines auto-ethnography, narrative and qualitative visual analysis.
