To really want to go to a specific place · to be eager to travel to a particular destination
This expression perfectly captures that intense desire to visit a specific place you've been dreaming about! ✨ It's when you're counting down the days (or even hours!) until you can finally experience a new adventure. Your mind is already there, exploring! 🗺️
💡 **Pro Tip!** While similar to 'to get itchy feet' (a general desire to travel), 'to be itching to go somewhere' usually refers to a *specific destination* you're longing for. You might say, "I'm itching to go to Japan for cherry blossom season!" 🌸 So, use it when a particular spot is calling your name, not just when you want *any* trip.
When would you most naturally use "to be itching to go somewhere"? A. 🏡 When you're perfectly content staying home for the holidays. B. 😴 When you've just returned from a long trip and are exhausted. C. 📸 When you've seen amazing photos of a new city and can't stop thinking about visiting it.
