14 (Rare) Travel Quotes That Will Inspire You to Travel.

With Google, the world is smaller than it used to be. You can climb the Himalayas and feel the serenity of Kerala's backwaters in a single day, without even getting out of bed. So this post is for all you armchair travellers. 

Hold on tight, because we are going to attempt to get you out of your bed, or your office cubicle, or wherever it is that your comfort zone lies, and compel you to see the world in flesh and blood. To feel the sun on your back as you swim in the deep seas, to feel your aching feet as you take the last steps to that peak, to feel the sheer joy of being on the road.
