Let's Escape
Posted by Claudia Claudia on Friday, May 18, 2012
Travel is a method of escape, and, boy, do I want to run. The term fernweh is German, and means "being homesick for a place you have never been."
The phrase sums up my existence.
In 2011, I went on a school trip to France (I am from Australia) and the experience blew me away. This country was centuries, maybe even a millennium older then the country I am from. It made everything I'd grown up being surrounded by, places like Hyde Park and Circular Quay, which I'd thought to be the epitome of greatness, were absolutely nothing compared to century old cathedrals, the Musee D'Orsay and the Eiffel Tower.
Ever since I have craved being surrounded by amazing architecture, and amazing things, like the Northern Lights or the Taj Mahal.
There are so many places I want to go.
I want to get lost.
