Happy Friday! If you are in Los Angeles, hope you have managed to stay warm and dry these last few days! Here is this week’s 8 Good Things. This is my year-long weekly gift that is meant to be helpful, inspirational, aspirational, and informational. If I miss a Friday, it is because I am somewhere with no access to the Internet 😉

1) Ever heard of ‘fernweh’? It is another word for ‘wanderlust’. Actually, it is really looking at homesickness in a different way. ‘Homesickness’ is a yearning to go home, though what about our yearning for a new place? That is what is called ‘fernweh’, n. a crave for travel; being homesick for somewhere you’ve never been. We can help you satisfy this craving, check out our destinations: sojournexplorers.com. Happy to curate an adventure that is uniquely yours.
