WANDERLUST (n): a strong desire to travel and explore the world

If you have a bad case of wanderlust today, we have good news: it's time for
another edition of the Great LINGUIST Treasure Hunt! This game involves
traveling the (virtual) globe and testing your linguistics wits. The winner
will receive a sweet prize, so don't miss out!

To play, you'll need to go to GeoLing (http://geoling.linguistlist.org/). To
find the buttons you'll need to navigate the globe, click on the menu button
in the upper left hand corner. You can select and unselect Local Events, Jobs,
Conferences, and more to view them on the map. Game clues will be found in
different locations on different kinds of pins. 

To get you started, here's your first clue:

Today's featured linguist Fabiola Henri's research interests were greatly
influenced by her childhood experiences. Travel to her home country for your
next clue...

Bon voyage, bon vwayaj, and boa viaji—may the best linguist win!
