If you want a fancy way to say that you took a trip to the countryside, you might talk about your country sojourn. Sojourn is a literary word meaning "a temporary stay or visit" or "to live or stay somewhere for a short time."
The verb is ultimately from the Latin prefix sub- "under" plus diurnus "of a day." A similar literary word is abide, but this usually means to live somewhere for a long time. In figurative is, sojourn means to delve––your math teacher may stop midway through lessons on fractions for a brief sojourn into techniques for slicing pie.
