Is it normal to have extreme wanderlust?

I'm still quite young and don't necessarily have the financial means to go on vacation or the time to go out exploring on my own. Which usually means I'm cooped up in my house or general area for days on end. I just have this undying urge to go out and explore, but not sight-seeing or anything like that. I'd be content exploring around a part of town I've yet to see before, I dunno.

Lots of days I fantasize about just... having no basic human needs, being invisible to the general public, and being able to float or fly around wherever I want without getting tired or hungry. I just want to be free and I have no idea what to do about it, because that isn't humanely possible. I like staring out car/train windows a lot, but I seldom get opportunities to listen to music and stare out the window on a long ride. Its gotten to the point where it makes me feel anxious, depressed, and stifled. Today I zoned out staring at my Apple TV screensaver (drone footage overhead some sort of city) and fantasizing about how wonderful it would be if I could just be free to explore wherever I'd like. I just wanna go somewhere new.

    I think it's normal to have a sense of wanderlust when you're young. To be honest I kind of crave stability. I also would like a gentle, intelligent and affectionate dog to be a pal for my Siamese cat.

    Yes it is completely normal,or at least I think it is. I have had the same dream about leaving for many years, but haven't done it yet.
    Right now I am studying at university but when I am done, maybe i will just leave to explore.
