I don't know. If you live your self repeating life and weeks become months and months become years and then you go to say Korea for half a year and make new friends and pick up new routines and eat new foods and then you go back to your routine, isn't your life just better than if you hadn't gone? The new stuff might still become a routine, but it is still extra.

I think the notion is that you end up at the same level of moderately unhappy/trapped-in-routine as if you hadn't gone.

(Personally I take the view that all things pass and the novelty of travel is worth enjoying even if it will eventually wear off)
