I love this post! As someone who’s lived in Europe for three years, wanderlust is deeply woven through my being. Yet, I now have opportunities moving me back towards the states, but I have the ubiquitous desire of seeing fruition in my life and dreams instantaneously! I want to continue living and traveling abroad and pursue my long-term goals with meraki. Ha! Wanderlust can sometimes be quite a dilemma!
