22 BEST VACATION QUOTES

Vacation: def. sitting on a lounge chair, reading a book, drinking a mai tai, all the while considering dinner options. It’s a time to recharge and restore your body and mind. To me, a vacation could not be more opposite to a trip where the focus is not on me, but instead on learning about other cultures, seeing historical sights, and embracing a different lifestyle. Both are fabulous, but both serve entirely different purposes. That is why I wanted to differentiate between the travel quotes posts out there and instead curate a list of some of the best vacation quotes.  If you want to read travel quotes about friendship though, check out my post here

 

 

Just as vacations should be, most of these quotes are light and fun although I did choose to include some well-known authors like Mark Twain and Leo Tolstoy who share their wisdom and inspiration through their words. So whether you are counting down the days until your next vacation, or you are looking for that perfect Instagram caption for your summer vacation photos, hopefully these vacation quotes will provide some comic relief sprinkled with a little bit of inspiration.
