Wanderlust - I want something just like this

When you yearn for seclusion hidden away amidst nature, be lead down a path where at first you can barely see anything. Come further and the wonders start to reveal themselves. With each step you’ll leave the world further behind, a smile will brake out, and the peace that is wanderlust will consume you. Then you’ll reach your sanctuary, private, secluded, immersed in the sounds of nature and surrounded by jaw dropping views. It’s then you’ll say to yourself - I want something just like this.
