Is there a term for always having the urge to drop everything and leave/travel?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m genuinely curious bc I’ve never been able to sit still or just be naturally content with whatever is going on. I crave adventure!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nomadforlife

@fvcktlvsn that sounds like general wanderlust, but i've also been steeped in tolkien prepping for the The One Ring tabletop game i'm doing for the family, so it might just have been what tolkien would've called it

@johnhexcarterI just learned today that German Fernweh translates to wanderlust (also a German word) in English…It describes the opposite of homesickness.@fvcktlvsn

@fvcktlvsnI would have loved to link to a Wikipedia article, but there is no English one for it 😮DeepL translator is quite in general so you might want to go with the German one instead.@johnhexcarter

@johnhexcarter @fvcktlvsnWait!They're not the same 😮https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernweh> The word creation is attributed to Prince Pückler-Muskau, who used the word several times in his widely read travel narratives starting in 1835. The word is formed in analogy to the older word "homesickness". In 1843, Pückler's biography states, "Pückler says somewhere in his writings that he never suffers from homesickness, rather from wanderlust." 1/2

@johnhexcarter @fvcktlvsn> It became naturalized primarily in poetic and educational language. In the 20th century, the term was adopted in advertising language in connection with tourism. The artificial creation of "wanderlust" through images and representations of distant lands became a significant global economic factor.2/3

@johnhexcarter @fvcktlvsn> A comparable somewhat older word is Wanderlust. Alternative word creations such as "stork or crane feeling" did not spread. In 1873, for example, it says: "Professor Dr. Erdmann [...] refers to this characteristic migratory instinct by the name of Stork or Crane Feeling. Prince Pückler-Muskau gives it the equally significant name of wanderlust."Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)3/3
