    It cuts both ways for me. I'm highly introverted. A super homebody. However, there's also this quiet yet intense sense of adventure within me.
    This is why it comes as a major surprise to some people upon learning that I already tried sky-diving, went on solo sojourns to a few exciting locations, etc.
    Anyway, thanks for this fun and insightful feature. May 2020 be a year full of happy adventures for many.

    My stamina is more a determination than then curiosity. Hunger for fresh air only aligning with a small group of native americans whom havent drilled for oil in their preserves and havent been bought off by the need to sell things and gamble. Just hearing their words on the rarity of just breathing clean is EXTREMELY refreshing to me. I always try to begin with meaning behind action.
    On Dateline, watching the special on the Taliban(i believe), the lands they had taken was just beautiful. A true meaning of paradise, isnt that what we're all trying to gain?

    As a German, I find it funny that the German word "Fernweh" is translated into English with a German word. On another note: Me and a classmate talked about doing Work & Travel in Canada together and since I really want to combine working with seeing the world I was immidiatly hooked by that idea. I had the great fortune of going to Denmark for an aprenticeship in my job training and ever since then the wanderlust within me really kicked in. I always loved seeing new places, meeting new people and hearing new stories... but the feeling of freedom that comes with doing all this for the first time without my parents and with a clear purpose other then a holiday just... felt right. I had some rough months this summer, where I just wanted to get onto a plane, leave my current life behind and start over somewhere new. That feeling thankfully left and I am much happier again with myself and the way my life is headed at the moment of writing this... but Denmrk never left my heart and always kept calling me... and now Canada and the US, Sweden, Norway, Finnland, Spain and so many other places call me towards them louder then ever before

    If there's any Gene that's opposite of the wander lust Gene, I have THAT!

      You probably have the 2-repeat allele of the drd4 dopamine dd4 receptor. Many East Asians have this as opposed to westerners having the 7 repress allele, that’s why East Asians find it hard to talk to strangers.

    Towards the end of the video, I became more and more convinced that the narrator in the video has the 7R variant of the DRD4 gene with the end "Sounds like a life well lived".

    Does anyone know if there is any English lesson plan based on that video?

      actually I know many people who hate abandoning their comfort zone, and they'd rather stay home than trying new stuff

    I think it can affect our political affiliations as a lefty one of wanderlust. I’m attracted to the unknown and it’s over the fear.

      I call bs, I'm extremely traditional and right wing, but I do have an insatiable wanderlust.
      It feels like a perigrination/ holy mission, like going into the wilds is fighting one's own demons.
