On German Travelers, Goethe, Reisefieber and Wanderlust
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 05.02.06 | 1:13 PM ET
Thomas Swick celebrates German travelers—“The world’s greatest travelers,” declares his column’s headline—in Sunday’s South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The urge to wander runs deep in the culture, he writes. “German, in fact, even has a word for the heightened anticipation one feels before a trip: reisefieber. Like knowing English has no word for putsch, it is a small linguistic jetway into national character.” Don’t miss the last line of the column—a terrific quote.
