Yes, travel still needs a sense of strangeness. In our hyper-connected world, where Instagram and guides preview everything, true discovery thrives on the unfamiliar—the unexpected scents, awkward conversations, and disorienting rhythms that unsettle and reorient us. This "strangeness" sparks resonance, wonder, and growth, turning trips into meaningful imprints rather than checklists. Without it, travel risks becoming generic consumption. Seek the edges: offbeat paths, local rhythms, and discomfort—they make life feel longer and richer.https://www.wallpaper.com/travel/how-to-travel-meaningfully-in-an-increasingly-generic-world
