wanderlust
Wanderlust is a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world.〔(Definition of wanderlust ) from (Oxford Dictionaries Online )〕
==Etymology==
The English loanword "wanderlust" was already extant in the German language dating as far back as Middle High German. The first documented use of the term in English occurred in 1902〔(Etymology of wanderlust ) from Online Etymology Dictionary〕 as a reflection of what was then seen as a characteristically German predilection for wandering that may be traced back to German Romanticism and the German system of apprenticeship (the journeyman), as well as the adolescent custom of the 'Wanderbird' seeking unity with Nature.〔Erik H. Erikson, ''Childhood and Society'' (1973) p. 325〕
The term originates from the German words ''wandern'' (to hike) and ''Lust'' (desire). The term ''wandern'', frequently misused as a false friend, does in fact not mean "to wander", but "to hike." Placing the two words together, translated: "enjoyment of hiking", although it is commonly described as an enjoyment of strolling, roaming about or wandering.
In modern German, the use of the word ''Wanderlust'' to mean "desire to travel" is less common, having been replaced by ''Fernweh'' (lit. "farsickness"), coined as an antonym to ''Heimweh'' ("homesickness").
