According to Wikipedia, “Wanderlust is a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world.”
I would add one thing : it can’t be cured.
I have this feeling that all my trips, since I first left my hometown to discover the Asia lover inside me, are meant to take me back to Hong Kong.Or, maybe, to fill the blank left inside me since I went home – and elsewhere.
No matter where I live, I want to stay. I lived in England and wanted to settle there, create a life, keep the habits I had got used to. I now live and work in Berlin, where I could easily stay, if I didn’t have to go back to France to finish my master.But no matter where I live, I also want to travel. Leave the place that I’m settling in, leave the habits, say goodbye to the people and go. Discover more.
This feeling that I struggle to describe I will call : Wanderlust – and found. I want to travel the world, visit every country, discover all the cultures on this planet – but I don’t want to do so in a few weeks. I want to settle there (“there” meaning everywhere), live in the places and not only being a tourist, create habits that I’ll be sad but excited to leave. And at the end of that – there would be Hong Kong. The only place I could have settled in forever, without ever wanting to live somewhere else. My city soul mate.But for now – I’m here, in Berlin. And I love it.
