Fernweh.

Means "farsickness" - analogous to "wanderlust," a German derivative word literally to mean,

"the desire for hike" - not necessarily to "wander" as in "meandering."

It's been almost a year since I have been out of the country, and I am starting to get antsy for another adventure again.

This year is closing soon. Lots and lots of adjustments had to be made in its duration: moving, for what seems like the 5th time in less than a year and a half.

I have actually enjoyed the running about. I get bored somewhat easy and settling to a specified location feels limiting. But I hope that as I get older that changes a little bit. At the same time, I'm seeking a solace to plant my roots as homebase.

That part is still in the works.

In the meantime, I continue to dream about a hike to a far away land, distant to a "home where the buffaloes roam... where the deer and the antelopes play..."
