Sometimes travel inspiration can strike anywhere, even when reading a word! There are some unique words in English and other languages which beautifully capture the emotions of a wandering soul. If your travel vocabulary starts at adventure and ends at wanderlust, then you might want to refresh it with something more interesting from the options given below!
Aren’t these travel words fascinating? My favorite one is ‘drapetomania’, I often feel this irresistible urge to just run away to towns, cities and countries – familiar and unknown. Which one of these do you identify with as a traveler?

Thank you
Thanks for your comment Athena! I included that word basis the meaning I found on the web – “an urge to run away”. I definitely do not encourage or agree with the negative connotation highlighted by you in your comment – so thanks a lot for pointing it out!
