I think "new experiences" has diminishing returns like anything else. E.g. I could go to a new art gallery and that would be a new experience on one level - but I've been to quite a few art galleries, so I have a good sense of what going to an art gallery is like in general, and also I know that my favourite is pretty good, so it would be better to go back there. I could try a new sport, but I've played plenty of sports already - and a new sport is less likely to be more fun than my current favourite.
