Wanderlust is the desire to go out and travel and experience the world, you are literally lusting to travel.
Frenweh literally means distance-sickness (like in homesickness). You feel sad when not traveling, often depressed and lost. You desire to go out into the world, often alone but sometimes with a companion and generally you do not settle up a home, the entire world seems like your home. You drift from country to country or place to place and meet new people, learn new languages, and live a life free but never with one particular home.
It is a concept hard to explain in English, but I hope it was somewhat clear!
