What were we experiencing in 2020 that made us look for these top 30 quotes & images that would keep us inspire to travel? Here is some context.

We are living unprecedented times with all the coronavirus situation happening around the world right now. This has brought many changes in our short term travel plans. In April we were going to Las Vegas for the first time for my husband’s birthday. We had our hotel booked and I had asked for two days off from work to spend a long weekend at the “Sin City”. Unfortunately, I had to contact my provider for a refund since we will not be able to make it. Additionally, in Summer we were planning a trip to Puerto Rico. My daughters were born there but they were just babies when we relocated. We were looking forward to showing them our amazing little paradise. That trip was also postponed probably until Christmas.

Like everybody else that has had to cancel vacations, we were so bummed. The whole situation is so frustrating in so many ways.

So, what do you do when you love to travel, and for reasons you can’t control, you just need to be trapped at home? In my case, I have looked for inspiring quotes that have brought me into a better mood. I’ve also reviewed pictures of past travels. There’s a saying in Spanish that goes: “Recordar es Vivir!” which basically means that looking into memories makes you live those moments again.

This is what has helped me to cope with this quarantine, and in case it can help you too I want to share my to favorite 30 traveling quotes along with pictures of my past travels. The goal is to stay positive amidst the chaos and to carry on. Enjoy!
