Germans

I heard some Germans talking about "Heimweh" today (lit. Home pain, i.e. Homesickness). Natural enough. Then I realised that German must be one of the only languages with not one, but TWO words for the opposite of Homesickness:
Fernweh (lit. Distance pain) and
Wanderlust (lit. Desire to wander)

Thought I would share that with you...
