I must admit I have always had a secret obsession with quotes. I have spent countless hours looking them up, writing them down in notebooks, and quoting them online to give my friends a little boost for the day.
Here are 10 of my favorite travel and inspirational quotes paired with my personal travel photos. As you end your work week I hope they inspire you to begin thinking about your next step in your journey and maybe even begin thinking of your next travel destination.
Have a BEAUTIFUL weekend!
