General domain, I mean difficult and tenses situations, with new experiences lived (the first big battle, a big assault on a tower, dangerous ambush in a dark forest) etc.  You do not have to fix on a word.

Few miles perhaps not, but if the PC travel by sea on a new coast during 10 days or if they cross a badlands territory for the first time or etc..
I'm sure you can imagine what I say.

A player giving himself for the best, arguing and communicating to the full extend of his theatral expression could give good result, another talking a lot and learning important informations for the group could be seen as rewarding. Don't you think so ?

I must confess that my world is more medieval than fantasy so special experience related to magic or special phenomenon can be seen as a learning event for the PC. Seeing strange creatures for the first time, communicate with or killing them is something that build a caracter, that can be defined as experience. A man is seen by what he has lived more than by what he has accumulated.
