Happy New Year! I can’t quite believe it’s already 2014… Last year absolutely flew by, but I hope you enjoyed 2013 and have lots of exciting travel plans in store for 2014? I am certainly getting exciting about various upcoming trips! For anyone who might need it, here is a dose of travel inspiration from some of the world’s greatest travellers.

          If you’ve ‘liked’ The Well-Travelled Postcard’s Facebook Page, then you might have seen my #ThoughtsOnAPostcard series that I’ve been posting once a week, on a Thursday, on Facebook. On the back of a postcard I’ve been posting some of my favourite travel quotes, some of the quotes that inspire me the most. I did a round-up of the first 10, and here’s round-up no.2!
