itchy feet
Restless desire roaming
Itchy feet is a restless urge to travel or move on.
Someone with itchy feet feels dissatisfied staying in one place and craves new experiences or locations: After two years in the same job, I'm getting itchy feet.
The phrase captures that fidgety, can't-sit-still feeling that precedes a major change.
