I guess both Se and Ne seek variety in experiences. The type of experiences differ, though. Se is in touch with the physical world and wants to experience things directly. Ne, in contrast, is in touch with the imagination and wants experiences to stimulate it.
And as for my attempt at a metaphor, maybe this would work: Se and Ne are both travelers. But Se is the traveler of the Earth, while Ne is the traveler of the mind. (If it makes you feel better, it took me a little bit to think of this.)
EDIT: Besides, I'm kinda trying to prove to myself that I am an intuitive.
