Wanderlust: Strong longing for or impulse toward wandering (Merriam-Webster)
We often think of 'wandering' as the act of going aimlessly from place to place; it is okay if you think that, you would not be wrong.
To me, it means much more than just changing your geographical location. We can wander in our own homes, drift away from reality on our chairs, migrate to other worlds with a pen in hand. Places where none have ever been, stories that have never been told, realities that exist only in the minds of those who heed your words.
One could call acts of writing, reading, imagining, and philosophising other ways of travel - the only difference being what you choose to impose as a difference.

Travels With Brian
Nearly arrested several times, often lost (sometimes on purpose), and dealing with unconscious travellers, lost luggage, delayed connections and even a lorry load of spilled toilet rolls, travelling has given me a plethora of experiences. Combine that with a slightly neurodiverse approach to life in general, a dyslexic understanding of signage and whatever else life seems to throw at me I don't think I've ever had a dull trip. But one wonderful constant is people. There's usually someone around who will help the occasionally lost and confused, and I thank all of them for helping navigate me through many different countries and trips. Now, where was I? Ah yes. Slightly lost...Complete

Plucky Thoughtfullness
In the world we live in, thoughts get lost. Not because they want to disappear, but because we're too afraid to think them. Some are naughty, some forbidden, some simply unwanted. We don't want to think them. We can't. We don't have the time to. We're not brave enough. So we push them away, shift them to places where they're harder to find-far beyond what is allowed, desired, or considered good. But sometimes the mind takes a journey to visit them again. It vanishes for a while. But every traveler returns-often carrying even more baggage than they initially took with them. Dive into the hidden corners of the mind, where forbidden thoughts roam, fears linger, and unexpected freedom awaits. And dare to feel your thoughts with me. I promise to hold your hand.
