The real question you have to ask yourself is why is it foreign to you? You are breathing air, eating food that boils down to the same components, you are experiencing gravity at the same rate, you are seeing one moon, you are seeing one sun, you are interacting with homo sapiens. The differences are mostly psychological perceptions where you are bored and want to feel something different.
- Fomite 8y ago"You are breathing air" - True, but it smells like a different place. "eating food that boils down to the same components" - Only in the most technically reductive sense. There is no locally sourced crocodile where I live. "eating food that boils down to the same components" - But entirely different stars "you are interacting with homo sapiens" - With cares and life experiences utterly different to my own.

You need to engage. This is what your idea of traveling looks like (minimal interaction with locals, going to familiar brands, looking at everything from a sheltered familiar lens): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdSppr-ltd0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdSppr-ltd0 This is what fun, engaging and interesting traveling looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PJ7670mV6E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PJ7670mV6E You really have to enjoy getting out and meeting people for this to work. If you're only in it for social media or with a defeatist armchair philosophical perspective, it won't be fun.
