I'd be seeking out more new experiences if I could afford it.

New restaurants are our passion. We were in the arts but it's hard to appreciate some times. I like meeting people and spending the weekend learning from them. They're called AA retreats. Sometimes an NA retreat. They're cheap and informative and fun.

I detest going to a new restaurant and don't know what to order. Doing Meetup.com I met people and discovered bad restaurants. If I'm spending money eating out food has to be fantastic.

As a poll - I pick "both." It depends, as you said. I stick to the same restaurants, but I like trying new things - skydiving is next on the bucket list. Known comforts AND new stuff - yes please!

I tend to stick to known experiences when I am alone, but if I am with someoen else, I am usually game to try new and novel experiences.

Definitely a novelty seeker. Always have been.

Novel experiences are what makes life worth living. Variety. Wierdness. Eclectic. Maybe it's the artist in me, I don't know. Its just fun to go exploring in this world.
That said...restaurant wise, I'm very conservative with my proteins...but will be adventurous with other foods. I love going to new places and experiencing the ambiance unique to each.

I mostly stick to known comforts, but sometimes I will choose new things. When I choose new things though, I like to go by others reviews first. If I randomly choose something like a new restuarant then the chance of me being disappointed is probably going to be high, whereas if a lot of other people like it then I have a higher chance of liking it most likely.

I will do different things, but I don't much anymore....the things I do are so time consuming, that doing new things is difficult to weasel in.

Novel

I like new stuff. But when i find something i really like...comfort❣?

try everything at least once

I love the comfort of things I know and like but am constantly seeking new experiences and ideas. I've worked in 36 countries and found something good in every one of them.

I'm a little of both depending on my mood.
Mostly I'll stick with what I know but sometimes if something new presents itself I might try it.

If you want me to try a Ghost Pepper or something like that I'm not going to do it.

a little of both. I tend to be reserved and stick to what I'm comfortable with. But I also have an adventerous side as well, and like trying new things.

I'm always up for new experiences within reason of my character. I enjoy trying new food even if sometimes it doesn't agree with me.

I like my comfort zone and I don't thrive on novelty. I sometimes force myself to do new things because I know there's a benefit to emotional health in having fresh experiences, but my instinct is to stick to what I know. I'm pretty introverted, besides, so too much novelty (especially when it involves social interaction) can be terribly exhausting.

I tend to seek out novel experiences

Depends on my mood. Some days I feel more adventurous than others.

When I go to the city, I always try to do something or see something new, that I have never seen before.

Definitely a novelty/adventure seeker! Always have been!! How do you know unless you try???

I guess I do both. I have lots of good old standbys, but like to try new things. I often go down roads that I have never been on, and often, I get lost. I have found some great views, great restaurants, great little shops, great places to explore and hike. I like to load up the car and take off down the road for a week or two. I also like to go where I know the food is good, to shops where I never fail to find something I love, or just stay home with my family and critters.

At my age l can't think of many things l want to do that l haven't. A life in music is always full of uncertainty, so now l really enjoy a certain amount of comfort zone. I wouldn't walk away from new experiences, but it would have to be something intriguing.

Definitely gotta go with the novel experiences. ?
