20 Quotes To Encourage You to Always Travel

Have you ever dreamily stared out of your office or home window fantasizing about your next travel adventure? Maybe you see yourself roaming through jungles in the amazon with new friends, following the footsteps of the Incas on the path to Machu Picchu or perhaps you are swimming in warm waters amongst colorful fish in the Maldives. Whatever your fantasy or dream is, you do have the power to make it a reality.

For all the excuses you have not to go right now there is just as much scientific evidence and research proving that taking that vacation or sabbatical is a better investment of your time and money then just say buying the latest gadget or burning yourself out at work.

Not only does taking a vacation cut a person’s risk of heart attack by 50 percent, research shows even the anticipation of travel generates an increase in positive feelings about one’s life as a whole, family, economic situation, and health. If you are using work or lack of time as an excuse not to go then take note from research that shows three out of four executives believe that vacations are necessary for them to prevent burnout and improve their personal job performance.

So throw out all your excuses of not having enough time or money and embrace travel as an investment in your personal growth, health, and happiness. Here are my favorite inspirational quotes that support this way of living.
