So there’s a word I’ve recently become sort of obsessed with, “wanderlust” by definition it is a “strong desire to travel”.

I understand that on a deep deep level, I’ve always had that inexplicable need. Granted, for a variety of reasons I haven’t been able to (in my adult life) really enjoy the need for it. So I’ve sort of just vicariously chosen to live through the experiences of others. I can guarantee, the difference between obsessing over what others have and you don’t is unhealthy, this is different.

I’ve always enjoyed seeing others enjoy themselves, and seeing others (whether in pictures or videos) doing something I would love to do, doesn’t make me jealous or angry, it allows me to feed my need to travel without leaving my classroom or home.

I appreciate that on a whole other level.

So while, I absolutely love the idea of traveling and having that “wanderlust”, I prefer the term “wonderlost” I’m obsessed with the idea of leaving everything and traveling with no set destination. How absolutely reckless and what a true adventure that would be!

Hopefully this year I’ll finally be able to indulge and leave for a few weeks with the pup and enjoy a drive North, er…with this broken compass finding our true North might be a task in-and-of-itself.
