While travel means different things to all of us, this quote by Mark Twain encapsulates the sense of adventure, wonder and escapism that embracing bucket list holidays, travelling and exploring the world can bring.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain
