Vacation time is probably the best time of the year, and those fortunate enough to go on Vacations will tell you the same. It’s the happiest time when you get to free yourself, be yourself and simply stop worrying about anything but yourself. Here are some vacation quotes I’ll recommend you use when you decide to upload your extra-ordinary, exotic vacation pics on Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp.
One vacation quote which I 100% agree with is this: “Take vacations, go as many places as you can, you can always make money, you can’t awakes make memories.”
So when planning to make money, don’t forget to live a life, and Helen Keller explained this better when she said and I quote: “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”
For anyone here who simply can’t wait and is already counting the remaining months, weeks or days until their next vacation, I’ll suggest you keep yourself inspired using these amazing and inspirational vacation quotes to keep the fire burning.
From the beginning of time, Humans have always been curious explorers who set out to discover new shores and new landscapes, exploring the wonders of earth and sametime, enjoying the immense pleasure that comes from it.
Personally, I think that the greatest advantage of living in the 21st century is that almost every choice destination is no more than a flight of 12-24 hours away where you get to enjoy and see Nature at it’s finest. But most importantly, almost every single square inch of Earth’s surface has already been explored, which makes the list of choice vacation places more easier for you to pick. But know that the list of interesting travel spots is almost never-ending as new vacation spots are always popping up.

What is Vacation?
Vacation can also be called a “Holiday”. Vacation is defined as taking a leave of absence from one’s daily job/occupation, or taking a specific trip or journey for the sole purpose of recreation and/or tourism.
Personally, I think Vacation can be just about any place where one sits on a lounge chair, reading a book, drinking wine, all the while considering dinner options without giving a single bother to the world.
Vacation time is when you go to recharge, renew and restore your body and mind for creativity and wholeness. Vacation time should not only be about YOU taking some time off your job ALONE, but should also be a time which you can use to learn more about cultures, seeing historical sights, and learning a different lifestyle. Both are fabulous, but both serve entirely different purposes.
