Is the short distance between a village and a town considered travel?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. For some people, a city in their region is one hundred and fifty kilometers away, while a town might be twenty-five or thirty kilometers away. People know that a town thirty kilometers away is considered easy to reach, but in their custom, one hundred and fifty kilometers is not considered easy.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct. This is a matter where custom varies.

The questioner : Update to Lucifer.

The Shaykh : This applies to this case. We say that if you go to a town where there is only a short distance between you and it, you are a traveler. If the village is on the border and you reach it, you may not be considered a traveler.
