Wanderlust Gene Test

Discover if adventure is in your DNA with the Wanderlust Gene Test. This test analyzes the 7R+ variant of the DRD4 gene, which is linked to a heightened desire for novelty and exploration. People with this variant tend to seek out new experiences, like traveling, trying new foods, and taking risks, in order to boost dopamine levels and achieve the same “feel-good” effects that others get more easily.

The DRD4 gene influences the dopamine receptor in the brain, and the 7R+ version binds dopamine less efficiently than the common 4R version. This means individuals with the wanderlust gene often crave new, exciting environments to experience pleasure and fulfillment.

If you’re naturally drawn to adventure or constantly seek out new challenges, your genetic makeup may explain your wanderlust tendencies. Understanding this genetic trait can help you better understand your personality and even guide you in making lifestyle choices that align with your innate drive for novelty.
