Locating your presence...
The New Tourism
Stop chasing destinations. Start cultivating presence. Transform your relationship with experience itself, from your living room to the edge of the unknown.
We've been taught that transformation requires distance, that meaning lives in exotic places, that you must go far to go deep. This is the lie that created mass tourism.
Chase destinations. Collect experiences like trophies. Return home unchanged, already planning the next escape.
Cultivate presence. Measure psychological distance, not geographic. Transform where you are by becoming fully here.
Every location becomes sacred. Every moment holds potential. You carry transformation with you, not chase it elsewhere.
This is what we teach. Not where to go, but how to be. Not what to see, but how to perceive. The 7 Layers map psychological distance from the familiar to the unknown. Each layer offers equal potential for transformation.
Layer 1 (Home) can teach what Layer 7 (Totally Unknown) teaches—if you bring the same quality of presence. This is the revolution: depth over distance, being over seeing, transformation over tourism.
From the center of familiarity to the edge of the unknown

The innermost layer of experientiality. Your most familiar space, where comfort meets the potential for profound rediscovery.
Walk through your home as if for the first time
Create a micro-ecosystem in your living space
Transform routine movements into ritual
Experience a meal in complete silence
Rearrange one room to shift your spatial memory
"What does "home" mean to you as an experience, rather than a place?"
Experiencism began as a new age philosophy but has evolved into something far more concrete: a comprehensive paradigm shift for how we approach tourism, travel, and the cultivation of meaningful experiences.
Rather than measuring value by distance traveled or destinations checked off a list, Experiencism teaches us to measure value by depth of presence and quality of engagement. This is tourism reimagined from the ground up.
Currently developing the theoretical framework through academic research. A comprehensive book is in development to establish Experiencism as a foundational paradigm across multiple mediums.
This prototype demonstrates the core concepts. We're seeking investment to develop the full-fledged product that will revolutionize how people engage with travel and experience.

denizdurucan93@gmail.comDeniz Durucan is developing Experiencism as both an academic framework and a practical application. With a background spanning philosophy, tourism studies, and experience design, this work represents years of research into how we can fundamentally transform our relationship with travel, place, and presence.
The forthcoming book will lay the theoretical foundation while this platform demonstrates the practical applications. Together, they aim to establish a new paradigm that bridges ancient wisdom about presence with modern insights about psychology, geography, and human flourishing.
