Dromomania

[Thomas Yingst]

“Uncontrollable urge to walk or wander … wanderlust” … Wikipedia

wanderlust would be fine, however in order to qualify for being a dromomaniac, one would need to have “an abnormal drive or desire to travel that involves spending beyond one's means and sacrificing job, partner, or security in the lust for new experiences….”

Far beyond my current capabilities

I read this term yesterday in the detective novel, “The Thin Man” written by Dashell Hammett … not something I heard before … interesting.

I misread the thread headline initially as "Dronomania": the current fad for drone photography.
I envisaged stories of near-misses and crashes involving multiple drones on the Camino Frances after Sarria, and suggestions of some sort of air space control operated jointly by the Xunta and the Cathedral authorities.
I need to get out more.

I think the opposite condition is called efrenophobia.

I know Efren is a bit Marmite (non-UK forum members may need to look that up) but his drone videos are exceptional and well edited too!

I remember thinking I’d ‘invented’ that word … about 40 years ago … except that I thought of it as an uncontrollable urge to run … away …

"Efren" caught my eye... I think his drone work is really well done!

Does anyone have any other Camino (Central) Portuguese videos to recommend? I'd love something to watch while I'm training on my treadmill! Ideally something that's not full of jump cuts and weird edits, bad music or lots of talking.

Cheers!

I maintain a list of Camino travelogue videos. Many are Camino Frances, of course, but there are a number from the Camino Portugues: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xc9SP6KjbRJWpu1jbCQ2cJ8Pe-MARv4tABlIe-hkAhI/edit?usp=sharing

It is due for another update, which I hope to get around to soon.
