Suffering From Perpetual Fernweh

Have you ever have a feeling that you wanna go to a place that you can't describe by the words which cause you to feel pain?
Do you have a true desire in the deep bottom of your heart that you wanna go to every unknown place in the world?
Will you see a photo then you feel woe that you haven't gone to that place in person?

Yeah, there are a word to describe this feeling calls "Fernweh" in German, we can translate it roughly as "An ache for distant places", it's an opposite word against to homesick, homesick is a sickness that missing home, but how can I have a feeling missing a place I don't even know?

Judith Thurman has said, "Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you've never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground."

This author describes the "Fernweh" properly, and not only she has a feeling like this, but there is also another author said about this feeling.

"If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world."
- C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

I feel the pain that I wanna go to the place that I can't describe.
I have a true desire in the deep bottom of my heart that I wanna go to every unknown places in the world.
I feel woe that I see a photo that I haven't gone to that place in person.

I'm suffering from perpetual fernweh.
