Why We Romanticize Places We’ve Never Been


Listen Later

We’ve all done it — seen one photo, read one story, or watched one scene and decided that’s where I belong.


This episode unpacks the quiet psychology behind wanderlust and the strange way our minds idealize faraway places. From the seed of a travel fantasy to the myths shaped by media, it explores why imagination can feel more vivid than memory.


“Fernweh,” the longing for somewhere you’ve never been, becomes a kind of emotional geography — mapping not where we’ve gone, but what we’re missing.


This isn’t about perfect postcards or curated escapes. It’s about the moment the plane lands and the dream meets reality — and how that moment teaches us more about ourselves than any guidebook ever could.


🎧 If you’ve ever stared at a photo of another country and felt homesick for it, this one’s for you.
