Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised to see a posterboard for a movie entitled, &#8220;Wanderlust.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd star in this comedy in which a Manhattan couple, tired of the stress and rigmarole of everyday life, seeks an escape. \u00a0If I had written the script, I&#8217;d have sent them out of the country, but as it is they find themselves in a hippie nudist colony (yes, it is a Judd Apatow movie). Before you watch, I will warn you that the movie is rated &#8220;R&#8221; and the trailer doesn&#8217;t hide it.<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oz7xMY1AbbI\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, this isn&#8217;t exactly what we&#8217;re after with WorldWanderlusting, but the way the average couple tires of the stress and tediousness of day-to-day life is true to form. And it is exactly that which is our enemy. \u00a0We are arms-dealers in the war of monotony vs. adventure and excitement. \u00a0It is a sad fact that most people simply raise their white flag in surrender to boredom and sameness. \u00a0They&#8217;re overpowered by the battle-call of the humdrum, &#8220;we can&#8217;t afford to do things like that.&#8221; \u00a0They cower from the challenge with phrases like &#8220;we can&#8217;t find a babysitter,&#8221; and &#8220;traveling to those places isn&#8217;t safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We just won&#8217;t tolerate weakness like that. \u00a0We won&#8217;t let them win. We soak in the refreshing springs of civilizations&#8217; celebrations. We gorge on the sweet variety of global gluttony. We learn the intriguing history of local legends. We wanderlust.<\/p>\n<p>At times we&#8217;ve questioned our decision to use the term in the name of our blog, yet it is so central to what we&#8217;re after, we have no choice but to use it. \u00a0Most people are fairly unfamiliar with the word, and unfortunately, the concept. &#8220;Wanderlust&#8221; is a loanword from German, and is defined as &#8220;a\u00a0very strong or irresistible impulse to travel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got it, and we hope you do, too.<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/content.linkoffers.net\/ID.aspx?ID=3178554&#038;Type=36&#038;Track=9999\"><\/script><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is totally unrelated to what we post about here, and yet completely related at the same time. \u00a0I went to watch &#8220;The Grey&#8221; at the movie theater the other day (skip it, by the way, unless you&#8217;re already a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/?p=1881\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[472,1],"tags":[473,470,469,471],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1DhXV-ul","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1881"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1881\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
