“The feeling of unshakable longing for a place we’ve never been to is often an indescribable force. How is it possible to miss or pine for a place you’ve never traveled to you ask? Kaukokaipuu has also been described as a specific form of wanderlust — a craving for a distant land or a deep feeling of ‘homesickness’ for a place you’ve never seen. The Finnish recognize that this emotion is very real and so named it kaukokaipuu.”
