Wish you could escape to the other side of the world for some sun, sea and relaxation? Join the club. 

Whether it’s a weekend trip to Bruges, an adventure in the Big Apple, or an exploration of Patagonia, some of us are forever daydreaming about travel.

With thanks to the Credit Union, here are nine signs you have a major case of wanderlust.

1. Your travel bucket list is getting longer by the day

From walking the Camino de Santiago and hiking Machu Picchu, to diving in the Great Barrier Reef and climbing the Great Wall of China, there is no end to the list of places you dream about visiting.

2. You fantasise about dropping everything…

And heading for the airport on a pretty regular basis. In fact, your friends daydream about new shoes, handbags and houses, but all you think about is hopping on that next airplane.

3. Skyscanner is your most-visited website…

And those ads follow you everywhere. You’re subscribed to every airline newsletter, and to you, a major flight sale is like Christmas morning.

What’s wrong with these people?

5. Your Instagram feed…

Is a sea of beautiful photos from around the world.

6. All of your annual leave is devoted to holidays

A return flight at midnight the night before you’ve to be back in the office? Not a problem.

7. Here’s what your dream bookshelf looks like…
