I had a fairly wealthy 30-something year old classmate in university who went on a 3 month ayahuasca / datura retreat in the Amazon jungle with some dreadlocked hippie tour guides immediately after he graduated. His rationale was that he wanted to experience something drastic and overwhelming to cleanse his mind of years of monotony and dry electronics / physics research. I think the longer people get stuck in a daily grind the more they build a desire to do something peculiar, alienating, or dangerous, I suppose it provides a sort of mental punctuation for transitioning from one chapter of your life to another.
