Wanderlust, as Wikipedia puts it, is a "loanword" from German to English that designates a strong desire for or impulse to wander, or, in modern usage, to travel and to explore the world.

This is a trait I share with my sister, Sudie (it rhymes with "Judy"), who just left for a year abroad in Kerala, India. Sudie will be a volunteer with the Young Adult Volunteer program of the Presbyterian (U.S.A.) Church.

She's no stranger to foriegn travel; she has already done three exchange programs in the Czech Republic and Ireland. She boasts a portfolio of visited countries that are too long for me to list here.
