an ego trip is something that you do because it makes you feel important and it shows other people how important you are

he's been on his fantastic holiday on his yacht and they had siled from the Mediterranean to Latin America, it's showing everyone how important he is and how inferior everyone else is
an ego trip, this is somethinig that you do in order to improve your own sense of performance of importance
it's you are being self-indulgent and making yourself feel better
it's like a boast
to tell everyone that you are just the best of the best
this is self-aggrandizement
this is being conceited

this is looking at yourself or portraying yourself as incredibly good but you are exaggerating and going over the top

I think normally we use this phrase negatively
if we say that somebody's on an ego trip, they are doing something for their own satisfaction to make them feel good and it makes them feel more important than everyown else
this is something that a person uses to boost their own self-image, look at me! look at me! to draw attention to them
