You're not alone! I read somewhere that in the first weeks of moving somewhere, you're busy digging the trenches of habit. I really like that analogy, as you move around the same patterns more often, you dig yourself deeper into habit.

Which is exactly why I often just take a different route than usual, for the sake of it. Exploration seems so far away, even though it's often as simple as turning left one street earlier. And as a bonus, you really get a good feeling for your city, which helps to orientate and find my way.
