ELI5 What is the difference between Displacement, Distance and Distance Travelled?

Displacement is a vector and distance a scalar, but how else can you differentiate between them in the easiest possible way?

Displacement is the difference inbetween your starting location and your ending, including th direction.   If you run around the block and end up back home your displacement is 0

Distance traveled is how many meters your feet or whatever actually moved you. If you run around the block and end up back at home your distance is a block.  No direction.
