There's nothing like a good travel quote to inspire you to pack your bags and take off on an adventure!
I am a sucker for quotes of any kind, and you can usually find me with a pen in hand when I'm reading ready to underline a favourite quote or jot it down to reference later. It's amazing the power that one or two sentences can hold when you need a little inspiration.
These are 10 of my faves — by authors, writers, and fellow explorers.
