Travel for some is an escape from their mundane lives. For some it is therapy; a way to rejuvenate and reinvent themselves. For others, the need and want for travel is fuelled by a lust to simply visit and explore new places. A desire to discover and unravel everything there is to discover and unravel in the world. Someone very rightly coined a term for this lust so different from all other kinds of lust - wanderlust. It is an apt term given to a desire that is often hard to explain for those who experience it. Whether or not you realise it, though, you've got to have experienced wanderlust at some point in your life. And if you think you haven't so far, we've got some pictures that will reach the wanderlust that is hidden somewhere inside of you.
As children (for some like me, even as an adult), the desire to visit an actual castle like the one shown in Princess Diaries was very real. The Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany is exactly that. Look at this picture and dream while sitting at your desk in a hot city about this snow clad castle with a view that is probably more royal than the royals living there.
Talk about a calm morning on the lake. Interlaken, Switzerland is known for its pristine lakes. Personally, I can't think of a better place to plan a summer holiday to. A lake that is just the right amount of blue and mountains with just the right amount of snow. Sigh, this wanderlust will make me broke one day.
Raise your hands if you agree with me when I say that the colour blue has a strangely calming energy. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but when it comes in abundance, it generates a happy vibe. If you think so too, have a look at this picture from Santorini, Greece and begin planning your trip there.
Some more blue to please your soul, but this time right from a place closer to home; Jaipur. Now Jaipur might be known as the pink city, but one trip to the City Palace and you might begin to rethink the colour that ought to be associated with Jaipur. Either way, this picture already has me planning a weekend trip to Jaipur.
