Foray
A sudden or irregular invasion or attack for war or spoils, raid;
a brief excursion or attempt especially outside one's accustomed sphere.
'Foray' is related to the word 'forage', which usually means to wander in search of food or forage. A 'foray', in its earliest sense, was a raid for plunder.
Nowadays, 'foray' is still a trip into a foreign territory but looting and plundering needn't be involved. When you take a foray, you dabble in an area, occupation, or pastime that's new to you.
