You can experience the world like a little child again. Except you have more knowledge and will probably understand the beauty of the universe in a more meaningful way.

At 21, I did a 6 month sabbatical from college just to experiment with psychedelics.

Here's a few things I did while tripping: - Took a hike - Danced in nature at the sunset - Listened to music (1st time listening Pink Floyd, the TDSOTM is a must!) - Took a swim in my hometown cold river - Experienced the "yin-yang" almost as an emotion-like feeling. Observing on top of my hometown mountains the greenery growing up on top of the charcoal again, after 2 years, when wildfires took 80% out. The moon and sun being present helped. - Walked around and explored a new city with music on (I was with friends, they were sober) - Painted and did drawings (I suck at it, it was incredible just seeing the ink flow out of the pen) - I meditated - I wrote about stuff - I explored the online content people make (r/LSD has a list of links + a lot of people on these communities provide a lot of interesting content) - felt like a Neanderthal eating a very juicy peach for the first time by doing exactly the same - masturbation (as demisexual, I wish I could had met someone who I could have sex with) - I played computer and felt like a god (usually I'm a noob, on that day I was truly overpowered) - I went to the beach - To the raves (I hated it!) - I observed animals - I climbed some trees - I spent time with friends

So... ye. You can literally do anything and you'll have a radically different experience from what you would normally feel. Just seek out information first how to do it carefully. I would also not advise leaving to far from home until you understand the dosages and the impact it has on you.
