The wanderings of a thirty-something mid-westerner
Not all those who wander are lost...
"One's destination is never a place but a new way of seeing things" - H. Miller
"We shall not cease from exploration, And the end of all our exploring, Will be to arrive where we started, And know the place for the first time." -T.S. Eliot
"Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living" - M. Beard
Wanderlust
en español: ganas de conocer el mundo
-
The term 'wanderlust' forms from the German words ‘wandern’ (to hike) and 'lust’ (to enjoy). Placing both words together translates to ‘enjoy hiking’. A more contemporary equivalent for the English ‘wanderlust’ in the sense of ‘love of travel’ would be German ‘Fernweh’ (literally ‘an ache for the distance’).
