Inspirational Travel Quotes

With finishing up the last project, selling the car, packing & cleaning, and planning our exit strategy (more on this later), I've somehow been able to find time to just sit and reflect on the past year we've spent here in New Zealand. I've been feeling incredibly blessed by the experience Andy and I have been able to share together as well as all the memories we've created.

I've also been feeling inspired.

So just to give you some juice for your next travel adventure (as well as our own future adventures!), I decided to put together a collection of some of my favorite travel quotes with pictures we've taken from all over New Zealand!

Hope you enjoy.
