28 Beautiful Travel Words that Describe Wanderlust Perfectly

Describe your travels with these unique and beautiful travel words from different languages around the world.

I love travelling and I love languages, so imagine my excitement when I came across a treasure trove of travel words and wanderlust synonyms that describe how we feel before, during, and after we travel. 

Just like a photo can’t fully capture what it feels like to stand on the edge of a fjord , neither can ‘wanderlust’ fully express how we feel when we crave our next adventure. These travel words are literary gems which have been gathered from languages around the world. From Japanese to Swedish , Latin to Greek , travel brochures of the future will be peppered with travel words like of resfeber , livsnjutare, and coddiwomple .

Wanderlust meaning

As you’ll see in the list below, every language has its own variation of how it explains and defines what wanderlust is. In English, wanderlust means to have a strong desire for or impulse to travel, wander and explore the world.

Learn a language from home

During these times it can be bittersweet to think about travelling when we have to stay at home and practice social distancing, let this list of wanderlust-filled words inspire you to a learn a language from home and prepare yourself for your next trip. Being travel fluent is the best way to enrich your travel experiences.

Without further ado, here are 28 beautiful travel words you should slip into your vocabulary. When you’re done, take and look at this collection of inspirational travel quotes . I’d love to hear which ones are your favourites in the comment section below.

1. Resfeber  (n.)

Origin: Swedish

Definition: The meaning of resfeber refers to the restless race of the traveller’s heart before the journey begins when anxiety and anticipation are tangled together.

It’s that moment just after you buy your plane tickets and excitement and fear floods in all at once, creating a mixture of emotions that make you feel anxious or physically ill.

2. Sonder (v.)

Origin: Unknown

Definition: The realisation that each passerby is living a life as complex as your own.

The full definition, taken from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows reads:

[Sonder is] the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries, and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

I often feel this way when I pass groups of strangers, speaking a language that is completely foreign to me, and realise just how incredibly big the world is. We all have a life that is full of different connections, memories and possibilities. That’s sonder.

The internet suggests this may not be a real word, either way, the concept is beautiful.

3. Solivagant (adj.)

Origin: Latin

Definition: Wandering alone. A solitary adventurer who travels or wanders the globe.

Not all those who wander are lost, but all those who wander alone are definitely solivagants . From the Latin word solivagus , meaning lonely or solitary, solivagant describes anyone who enjoys meandering around new countries, alone, in order to take it all in.

4. Fernweh (n.)

Origin: German

Definition: This German word,means an ache to get away and travel to a distant place, a feeling  even stronger than wanderlust. If wanderlust wasn’t poetic enough for you, allow me to present fernweh , a German word that literally translates to “distance-sickness.”

While someone with wanderlust might sit at home and happily fantasise about all the places they might visit, someone with fernweh would feel a deeper sense of longing, a sort of homesickness but for foreign lands.  For me, it’s wanting to be back in Rome . Fernweh is one of most those beautiful untranslatable words I’ve ever come across.

Carry this beautiful word with you with my Fernweh T-Shirt available in men’s and ladies styles and black or white. Buy it here.

5. Sehnsucht (n.)

Definition: A wistful longing and yearning in the heart for travels past and future.

One author translated it as the “ inconsolable longing in the human heart for we know not what .” Another compared it to “ a longing for a far-off country, but not one which we could identify.”

When you return from travelling and wish you could do it all over again and experience every moment like it was the first.

6. Eleutheromania (n.)

Origin: Greek

Definition: An intense and irresistible desire for freedom.

We all want to be free, and travelling shows us how the freedom in the lives of others that is different from our own. Eleutheromania describes a person who has a strong desire and obsession for freedom.

7. Cockaigne (n.)

Origin: French , Middle French

Definition: An imaginary land of luxury and idleness.

Every destination seem like a wonderland or cockaigne before you set foot there and see it for yourself.

The term c ockaigne ” comes from the Middle French phrase pais de cocaigne, which literally means “the land of plenty.” The word was first popularised in a 13th-century French poem that is known in English as “The Land of Cockaigne.”

8. Quaquaversal (adj.)

Definition: Moving or happening in every direction instantaneously.

This perfectly describes my state when I’m in a new place and want to see and do everything at once.

9. Dérive (n)

Origin: French

Definition: A spontaneous and unplanned journey where the traveller leaves their life behind allows themselves to be guided by the landscape and architecture.

Literally translated as “drift”,  dérive is the idea that even if you drift you will end up on the right path. This could describe life in general, but it also describes small journeys. When you’re wandering through a new city and you just happen to wander on a path that takes you to great discoveries.

10. Ecophobia (n.)

Origin: English

Definition: This word came into English word via Greek and means a fear or dislike of one’s home.

I don’t dislike my home, but recently I can’t stop thinking about going back to Lofoten, Norway.

11. Numinous (adj.)

Definition: A powerful feeling of both fear and fascination, of being in awe and overwhelmed by what is before you.

Originally, this word refers to having a strong religious or spiritual quality; but it can also be used to describe how you feel when you see things that are so beautiful that you realise how wonderful the world is and the small part you play in it.   Hiking Trolltunga was a numinous moment for me.

12. Schwellenangst (n.)

Definition: Fear of crossing a threshold to begin a new chapter.

From s chwelle (“threshold”) and a ngst (“anxiety”), this word explains that feeling you get before deciding to set out on a new journey. Argh! Did I make the right decision?

13. Strikhedonia (n.)

Definition: The pleasure of being able to say “to hell with it”.

Another personal favourite word on this list. Not only is it the joy I feel, but the freedom to be able to say “to hell with it” and book that next trip and embark on your next adventure.

14. Vagary (v.)

Definition: A whimsical or roaming journey.

From Latin, vagārī meaning “ to roam”, is an unpredictable idea, desire or action to travelling without knowing the destination, and not caring.

15. Livsnjutare (n)

Definition: Literally meaning, “enjoyer of life”, this describes a person who loves life deeply and lives it to the extreme.

If you’re reading this, that’s probably you!  Need more inspiration?

16. Commuovere (v.)

Origin: Italian

Definition: To stir, to touch, to move to tears.

Just like the euphoric emotions I felt whilst whale watching.

17. Sturmfrei (adj.)

Definition: The freedom of being alone and being able to do what you want.

Literally translating to “stormfree”, this describes the freedom of not being watched by others and being alone in a place where you have the freedom and ability to do what you want.

Another great German word. Travelling solo can be especially rewarding because you have complete control. No compromises, no one else to please. Just you and the big wide world.

18. Saudade (n.)

Origin: Portuguese

Definition: This Portuguese word describes the emotional state of nostalgia and longing for someone or something distant. S audade  was once described as “the love that remains” after someone is gone.

Saudade  is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places, or events that brought excitement and happiness but now triggers the senses and makes one live again.

19. Yūgen (n.)

Origin: Japanese

Definition: A profound and mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe.

An awareness of the Universe that triggers emotional responses too deep and powerful for words.

20. Acatalepsy (n.)

Definition: The impossibility of comprehending the universe.

Henry Miller said “ One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. ” Do we ever really understand the world and what we see on our  travels,  and how they mould us? Sometimes, if at all, it takes time to discover how these things change our lives.

21. Trouvaille (n.)

Definition: A chance encounter with something wonderful.

Whether it’s stumbling across a hidden back street, a quaint cafe, or connecting with a local, trouvaille describes those magical moments we experience in our journeys. 

22. Hygge (n.)

Origin: Danish

Definition: Pronounced hue-guh , hygge describes the warm feeling you get while enjoying the company of great friends and all life has to offer.

Hygge is the conscious appreciation of recognising everything you have and enjoying to the present moment.

23. Onism (n.)

Definition: The world is a big place as not everyone will get to see it. Onism describes understanding that we’ll never get to see it all. It’s the frustration of being stuck in just one body that can only inhabit one place at a time. I felt this way before going to Copenhagen !

Similar to the Swedish word ‘resfeber’, onism describes the feeling of knowing that you’ll never be able to see it all. They say that the more you travel, the harder it gets to stay in one place.

24. Novaturient (adj.)

Definition: A desire to change and alter your life.

This was exactly how I felt when I quit my job and moved to Rome . There was this strong urge that pulled me towards my dream of pursuing a life of speaking Italian and travelling. I knew I  wouldn’t be living my life if I didn’t go.

25. Yoko meshi (n.)

Definition: This untranslatable gem describes the stress of speaking a foreign language .

The Japanese word ‘meshi’ literally means ‘boiled rice’ and ‘yoko’ means ‘horizontal,’ together it means ‘a meal eaten sideways.’ The Japanese have created a beautiful way of describing the unique kind of stress you experience when speaking a foreign language. Furthermore, ‘yoko’ also references the fact that Japanese is normally written vertically, whereas most foreign languages are written horizontally. Clever, right?

26. Selcouth (adj.)

Origin: Old English

Definition: When everything you see and experience is unfamiliar and strange, yet you find it marvellous anyway.

It’s that feeling you get when you travel to a foreign land and food, culture, customs, or language, is strange and different to everything you’ve experienced before, yet you love it and find it fascinating.

27. Eudaimonia (n.)

Definition: A state of being happy whilst travelling and everything feels great.

That intense excitement and appreciation when you travel and everything feels great. Seeing the Northern Lights was one of the best experiences of my life, a feeling I won’t forget.

28. Coddiwomple (v.)

Origin: English slang

Definition: To travel purposefully towards an unknown destination.

A brilliant word, coddiwomple is when you have a vague idea of your destination within a care for how long it takes to arrive. A great example is when you go hiking, you know you’ll eventually reach the summit, but every part of the trail along the way is just as beautiful.    Like the time I hiked Norway’s Trolltunga.

Amazing list! One word I’d add is the Dutch word “gezellig” or “gezelligheid” – similarly to hygge, it describes a feeling of warmth/comfort/coziness/quaintness in certain settings or around certain people.

Thank you so much for sharing this Heba. So interesting to learn that Dutch has a similar word :)

This is such a fun article! Love these words and phrases!

Glad to hear it! Thank you so much, Eric :)

So many of these describe me or my feelings about seeing the world. But, if I had to pick one, the one that best describes how I choose my destinations would be “selcouth”. I so want to be a stranger in a strange land. To have my belief that there is no such thing as “normal” affirmed again and again and over again.

What a beautiful word. Thanks for sharing, Janet :)

Thanks Michele what a wonderful list of inspirational words. It nearly made me cry as I realised that I suffer from acute eleutheromania! ha

Thanks Juliana :) I’m so glad you enjoyed this list. Eleutheromania? I know how you feel hehe

The results below obviously aren't all going to be applicable for the actual name of your pet/blog/startup/etc., but hopefully they get your mind working and help you see the links between various concepts. If your pet/blog/etc. has something to do with travel, then it's obviously a good idea to use concepts or words to do with travel.

If you don't find what you're looking for in the list below, or if there's some sort of bug and it's not displaying travel related words, please send me feedback using this page. Thanks for using the site - I hope it is useful to you! 🐘

Politics live: Two ministers join growing Tory exodus - as defence sec accused of 'smoke and mirrors' over Ukraine

Two ministers have joined the exodus of Tory MPs ahead of the election. It comes after Rishi Sunak faced questions from the Liaison Committee, including on the pensions triple lock, the war in the Middle East, the Rwanda plan, and notorious comments by his predecessor Liz Truss.

• Skills minister also joins Tory exodus - taking total to 63 MPs
• Shapps accused of 'smoke and mirrors' on Ukraine
• Today is last day PM could call 2 May election
• Sunak asked about Truss's 'deep state' claims

• Live reporting by Faith Ridler  and (earlier)  Ben Bloch , Emily Mee , and Brad Young

Robert Halfon, the Conservative MP for Harlow, has confirmed he is resigning as the minister for apprenticeships and skills today.

He will also step down as an MP at the next general election.

The MP's resignation follows hot on the heels of the departure of Armed Forces minister James Heappey, who quit his role minutes before ( see 16.00 post ).

Mr Halfon said: "After well over two decades as the Harlow parliamentary candidate and as MP, I feel that it is time for me to step down at the forthcoming general election, and in doing so, to resign as a minister in your government."

This means more than 60 Tories have now confirmed they will not stand at the next general election.

And, as our chief political correspondent Jon Craig says, there has been some suggestion "that this number could rise".

You can read Mr Halfon's resignation letter in full below:

Ezedi attacked a woman and two children with an alkali on a street in south London in January.

The 35-year-old, from Afghanistan, had twice been refused asylum by the Home Office after arriving in the UK on the back of a lorry in 2016.

The second refusal was overturned by a judge in an appeal hearing in October 2020 because of Ezedi's claim to have converted to Christianity.

A suggestion that he would be at risk of persecution if he returned to Afghanistan was supported by a vicar.

Judge WK O'Hanlon, who granted Ezedi asylum at Newcastle Immigration Court in November 2020, said in his judgment that "the most compelling evidence was that of the former Reverend Merrin".

The details of that hearing were not initially made public but Sky News can now reveal exactly what happened after receiving the court documents in full.

Back in the 1990s, a row was brewing over the state pension.

After it was introduced for everybody back in 1948, men were entitled to receive it when they hit 65, but women started getting the payments from the age of 60.

With more women heading to work and longer life expectancies, many argued it was time to even out the playing field and bring women's retirement age in line with men's.

And come 1995, John Major's Conservative government introduced the Pensions Act, setting out a timetable to make the change.

The legislation said the qualifying age for the state pension would slowly increase over 10 years between 2010 and 2020.

The East-West Council is expected to "enhance" the political ties between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, Chris Heaton-Harris has said.

The Northern Ireland secretary said that now the Stormont executive has been restored, it was important to "make sure we get our working relationships completely right".

Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove added the council would help ensure UK government funding - agreed as part of the deal to restore power-sharing earlier this year - delivers for Northern Ireland.

It will help make sure funds get channelled to those who need it, like community organisations working to renovate buildings and "transforming opportunities for young people".

He said a new body, InterTrade UK, was also discussed, and that these were all "tangible gains" of the council.

Over a year ago, Rishi Sunak made five pledges for voters to judge him on.

The prime minister met his pledge to halve inflation by the end of 2023.

However, he is faring less well with his other pledges.

With the general election approaching, how is Mr Sunak doing on delivering his other promises?

You can see the progress for yourself below.

In response to Robert Halfon's resignation, Rishi Sunak has said he is "very sorry" to see the education minister go.

The prime minister has seen a rush of Conservative MPs confirm they will stand down at the general election, with Mr Halfon being the 63rd to do so.

The departure of the minister and Armed Forces minister James Heappey also means a mini-reshuffle is likely in Mr Sunak's cabinet.

You can read Mr Sunak's letter in full below:

As had been expected, Armed Forces minister James Heappey has just confirmed he has resigned from the role.

He said he had "loved every minute" as Armed Forces minister, adding: "Our Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence civil servants are the very best of us. 

"Representing them in parliament and around the world over last 4.5 years has been an amazing privilege."

Mr Heappey added: "My sincerest thanks to all who serve so brilliantly in our nation's Armed Forces and to the families that stand behind them.

"We're asking a lot of them at the moment - rightly so, the geo-political situation demands it - and we should never forget their sacrifice."

It comes a day after he called for the government to spend more on defence, as it continues to fall short of the 2.5% of GDP - or even more - that many Tory MPs have been calling for.

Mark Francois, the Tory MP for Rayleigh and Wickford, has accused Grant Shapps of "playing smoke and mirrors" with money earmarked for the Ukraine war.

He says: "The amount we're giving to Ukraine next year is £2.5bn, so it's almost exactly the same as the cut in next year's core defence budget.

"So if you compare apples and apples, that £2.5bn that goes to Ukraine is not part of the UK's defence budget, because you can't spend the same pound twice.

"If you're spending it on shells for Ukrainians… you can't spend it on army salaries or submarine maintenance or on new runways for the air force."

Mr Francois says the department for defence has "suffered a massive defeat at the hands of the Treasury, you've had your budget cut by £2.5bn, and you're now trying to play smoke and mirrors with the Ukrainian money to pretend that your budget hasn't been cut, when it's been slashed".

Mr Shapps, the defence secretary, denies this is the case.

"I disagree, and actually the problem with the numbers you've read out is the numbers are in themselves misleading," he says.

Mr Francois interjects: "They're in the budget red book!"

The minister goes on: "The reason those numbers come out as misleading is simply because the previous years' numbers you read out includes the supplemental.

"The next year you're reading doesn't include the supplemental."

Mr Shapps says: "You can't include it in one, and not in the other."

But he has admitted the Treasury's own figures on funding for Ukraine are "misleading" ( see 15.27 post ).

The Home Office gave out 275 certificates of sponsorship for care workers after "forged" documents were used to make an application, a damning report into the department has shown.

The probe, by the former borders and immigration inspector David Neal, claimed the Home Office had a "limited understanding" of the care sector after it was added to the UK's shortage occupation list in 2022 - allowing more people to come to the country to fill jobs.

And as a result, it created a system that "invited large numbers of low-skilled workers to this country who are at risk from exploitation".

'Shocking' failings at London airport

The report was released on Tuesday afternoon as MPs wrapped up business in parliament for the Easter recess, alongside another into Border Force operations at London City Airport.

In that investigation, Mr Neal highlighted "failings at a local, regional, and national level" over the arrival of private jets, with high-risk flights not being met by Border Force staff.

The figures on how many high-risk flights were met by officials at the most central airport in the capital were redacted, but Mr Neal said the number was "shocking", adding the issue needed to be addressed by the Home Office "as a matter of urgency".

Mr Neal was fired by the Home Office last month  after he leaked details of the City Airport report to a newspaper, with the department saying he had "lost the confidence" of Home Secretary James Cleverly.

But the now ex-inspector had  repeatedly complained  the Home Office was too slow to publish his critical reports, with 15 dating back to April 2023 still unpublished when he was dismissed.

'We do not tolerate illegal activity in labour market'

"We have already intervened to stop the flow of overseas care workers entering the UK where there is no genuine role for them to undertake and taken robust action against businesses committing labour exploitation," the Home Office said in response.

"We do not tolerate illegal activity in the labour market and we will continue to revoke licenses from those who abuse the system. 

"New measures already in force will cut the rising numbers of visas granted and address significant concerns about high levels of non-compliance, worker exploitation and abuse.

"As with all our policies, we will keep them under close review and if needed, we will not hesitate to go further."

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps is also facing questions today, appearing at the Defence Committee of backbench MPs.

The session starts with questions around the spring budget, and Mr Shapps is asked for clarity on whether we should expect defence spending to rise or be cut next year.

The minister says: "I think the confusion on the day was that when the Treasury publishes their numbers, you're not comparing apples with apples - you're comparing apples with oranges.

"They publish the entirety of the out turn for the previous year, 23/24, including supplementaries."

The minister explains this includes the likes of expenditure on Ukraine.

"When you see the figures for 2024-25 on the day, in the book, it doesn't include the supplementaries even though everybody knows… that this is £2.5bn and then money for munitions as well," he says.

"Once you add those two things in… you get a 1.8% real terms increase of £1.4bn."

Mr Shapps admits the red book figures are "misleading".
