In an article by Liam Henneghan at Aeon on September 18, 2017 titled We have a new word for that feeling when travel makes everything new he described the compound word allokataplixis, from Greek words for other and wonder. That article also was reposted at Big Think on February 23, 2021 and again at Pocket. I felt that way when I saw Crater Lake.
Another article by Avard Woolaver at The Image Journey on October 3, 2020 is titled Toronto Gone – allokataplixis – seeing the city for the first time. More recently there is yet another article by Joe Walewski at Field Notes – A Naturalist’s Life on March 29, 2024 titled Allokataplixis.
I blogged about going to Crater Lake on September 10, 2019 in a post titled Visiting Crater Lake. And on September 21, 2019 I blogged about The joy of travel surprises.
