Wanting to visit new places.
Contexto cultural
Finns often use 'tehdä mieli' to express 'matkakuume' (travel fever) during the dark winter months. It is a culturally significant way to cope with the lack of sunlight. Among the international community in Finland, this phrase is often used to describe the constant 'kaukokaipuu' (wanderlust) that comes from living abroad. In the north, travel often means going 'etelään' (to the south), which can mean either Southern Finland or the Mediterranean. 'Tekee mieli matkustaa' often implies a search for light. On Finnish Instagram, #matkakuume is the hashtag equivalent of 'tehdä mieli matkustaa'. It's used on throwback photos or when dreaming of future trips.
Use the Conditional
Using 'tekisi mieli' (would feel like) sounds much more natural and 'Finnish' when daydreaming than the present tense 'tekee mieli'.
Genitive is Key
Never say 'Minä tekee mieli'. It's the most common beginner mistake. Always 'Minun'.
