Scientifically, an experience is composed of 3 phases, the preparation, the experimentation and finally, the conclusion of the experience. These stages allow us to give a theoretical structure to a concept that may seem very vague at first sight.

Yet, to broaden this first definition, we should also consider an experience as one's personal experiences. In that case, an experience refers to one's whole life on a real life aspect. What one has been through, what did he/she enjoyed or hated, who he/she met and how did this encounter changed his/her personality or helped him/her getting more mature... all these little dramas, happy moments, sad ones, made up one's experience.

Also, experience can refer to the knowledge one compiled. In that prospect, all one learned, deduced, understood makes his/her experience. Experience should be understood as someone's culture or learning. Some people have an amazing memory that allow them to recall many things that give them a great experience, even when it does not happen deliberately. In 2008, a German succeeding in memorizing 110 historical dates in 5 minutes! The same year, another one memorized 276 images in 15 minutes!
