In an age of Google Maps, Instagram geotags, and instant translations, true "strangeness" has become rare. Yet the most memorable journeys still need a dose of it: the moment when logic fails, signs become beautiful mysteries, and you must trust instinct over algorithm. Without that gentle discomfort, travel flattens into consumption. The unfamiliar is not inconvenience—it's the very spice that makes you feel alive on the road.https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/15/travel/slow-travel-purpose.html
