Resfeber: The Swedish Word for the Thrill and Excitement That Traveller Feels Before A Journey
There's no escape from this feeling
We experience anxiety and fear before every trip for reasons we do not understand. In fact, we are in the beginning of an exciting adventure. We constantly converse with ourselves. "Actually, I should be happy. "Why am I so uncomfortable?"
This anxiety is heightened when we travel to an unfamiliar or exotic location. Our Swedish friends have given these conflicting emotions a special name:
Resfeber.
It's a warm and inviting term. After all, they gave it a name by being concerned with a very natural feeling that we all have.
Traveling is enjoyable. Even if we are feeling resfeber.
