Words and Travel

I know that I'm not currently abroad, but I had to share this.  Today while going through my Google Reader, I came across a post spotlighting some fun words from otherwordly, a beautiful tumblr run by an English major who also likes to dabble in lingusitcs.  She posts words from many different languages, which I love because there are times when English just doesn't do a very good job of capturing every aspect of something in a single word.  Anyway, I found the following words relating to travel while browsing and I feel as though they hit the nail on the head. 

pronunciation | ‘wan-der-lust


pronunciation |  \yO-kO me-shE\

pronunciation | FEIRN-weyh, with fei as in feint
