14 QUOTES TO INSPIRE YOU TO TRAVEL

I have six months left until I leave and I've found that lately sometimes it's hard to stay focused on my goal. I've been working a lot, which has been great for my savings but I can feel myself losing steam. I'm trying to keep my mind busy with things like my dad and sisters birthday (along with my own in two weeks!) and a short trip to my cousin's wedding coming up. Anything to keep myself from walking my savings account to the mall and buying a bunch of crap I don't need.

I find that browsing Pinterest and looking at inspiring photos or reading inspiring words really helps to ignite that fire within me that just burns me up with the need to travel. Just words to stoke the fire, and help keep the flames going for the next six months while I countdown to the beginning of a new chapter of my life. Here are a few of my favorite quotes that will hopefully inspire some of you as well. Are there any quotes or poems that always seem to give you chills? Please share in the comments - I love some good prose.
