Depaysant!

Dépaysant - 

Depaysant is a French word that encapsulates far better the feeling of being far from home than any one English word. But more than being far from home, the term signifies an otherworldly feeling, of a place, perhaps exotic, that exposes us to a culture or routine notably different from our own.

Dépayser -transitive verb

(agréablement) to provide with a pleasant change of scenery;

(désagréablement) to disorient.

Dépaysant- adj. (exotique) exotic

I plan on using this word when the first day that I arrive in La Méditerranée...

Bonne Courage!
