As a college girl that studied abroad in Italy for six weeks this past summer, I now have an undeniable desire to travel. I knew before I went to Italy that I would love traveling and that I would love seeing new places and being in the presence of new people. But I had no idea just how incredible traveling to a foreign country actually would be until I did it. I've officially self-diagnosed myself with wanderlust: a strong desire to travel, explore, and be in places I never have been.
When I'm bored I find myself dreaming, hoping, and wishing to be in places that I don't even know exist. I've realized the power of traveling. I've realized the endless things you can learn from it. I've realized that your 20's are the time to do it. It's the time to do things for you and go where you want to go. Your 20's are likely when you are in the best shape of your life. You have little to no real responsibilities and you can be as wild as you want without people telling you to act your age.
So here are 15 quotes every 20-something with wanderlust (like me) needs to hear. Forewarning: They'll make you want to hop on a plane right now.
