Travel as Psychedelic Experience

Picture
If you need to be reminded
how completely mental habit blinds us to experience, just take a trip to an unfamiliar country.
Suddenly you wake up!
And the algorithms of everyday life all but start over, as if from scratch.  This is why the various travel metaphors for the psychedelic experience are so apt.
​(Michael Pollan, 2018, How to change your mind: the new science of psychedelics)
