| It is very difficult to understand other people in other countries unless you can actually live there. It is very difficult to understand even the USA, becasue everything in differing places is so diverse. Are you expressing the classic definition of experiencing "ennui", or something another? Something else.
There are many things out there. The problem with experiencing any of these things is that all of them take time. To quote my art companys' treasurer, "We live in an era of specialists, when what society needs is generalists". Unfortubeately, to make a living, having a specialization is what is required. You cannot hope to understanbd what the definition of being a "generalist" means, until you have enough experience to survive doing so - using either you own resources - or anothers.
If you do go to Europe only seeking new experinces and adventure - consider what might happen. You might eat well. You might have other appetities satisfied. You might come back refreshed and rested - ready to play your role in American society. Then again, you might not. Your adventure might feed your desire to assuage your own lack of entropy - ennui.
Have fun. My advice? If you do not live life - doing everything you might ever posibly have the courage and conviction (and ability) to do - then you did not live.
