Today is a bit of a lazy post. I have so many great stories and photos from recent adventures, but alas, as I struggle to make it through the last stage of the flu while not falling behind in my German lessons, the effort to turn those pieces into coherent posts is beyond me.
Instead, I give you words of inspiration.
I love quotes. I love travel. Here are some of my favorite quotes related to travel. I hope at least a few might be new to you.
Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I have not read the book yet. However, I stumbled across the quote, and that was enough to get it added to my book list.
