A good text is the Six Sacred Stones by Matthew reilly. there are plenty of games you can use as well. The texts don't need to have a worldwide journey, just the concepts of one lile obstacles, milestones etc
I would personally recommend Great Expectations as a related text in Physical Journeys.
There is alot of "juicy" bits to the story which I am sure if you undertake deep reflection and "metacognition", you will find representations of the general concepts of journeys.
