There are few things that excite me as much as the prospect of traveling anywhere. I love traveling more than basically anything on Earth. I love it all. I love the airport, the TSA agents, the overpriced coffee, and the bad food. I love red eye flights and I love people watching from my gate. Lately, traveling has been even more exciting for me though, and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it's that I'm older now, or that now when I travel I usually go alone. Whatever the reason, I have been stung by the traveling bug and I just can't get enough of it. For anyone else who is as excited about travel as I am, heres a few quotes that help me satisfy my wanderlust.
