“But there’s another kind of malaise associated with travel, one that balances out that craving for home. There’s a German word for it: fernweh. It comes from fern (meaning “far”) and weh (defined as “pain,” “misery” or “woe”). Fernweh, then, is “farsickness” or a “longing for far-off places,” especially those you’ve not yet visited….[or] for imaginary spots,” - Candice Gaukel Andrews, 2018
