“Fernweh is a longing to be away from home,
a desire to be in faraway places . . .
Wanderlust is rooted in the German Romantic
tradition and is strongly tied to walking out in
nature. Think of Caspar David Friedrich’s
paintings of a lone hiker in spectacular
landscapes, communing with the
overwhelming greatness and intricacy of
nature. Fernweh is a bit more imprecise. One
simply wishes to be far away. Fernweh: the
syllables sigh.”
– Teju Cole

What are you waiting for?
Marty would like to visit Iceland with his
teenage son. He’s on a budget, but would
like to see as much as possible during a
week-long visit to Iceland in September. He
especially loves hiking and would like to see
some hot springs. He’s keen to try some
authentic Icelandic dishes too.
Let’s plan a trip for Marty and his son!

“For don’t we all long to return
from our travels with something
resonant, something lyrically alive
with a place that stirs something
deep within us?”
