I've always found the looking at images, reading about destinations, and immersing myself in thoughtful travel and adventure quotes is a great way to get ‘in the zone' before a big trip.

I did this before cycling from Alaska to Argentina, and before cycling across Europe from Greece to England. I hope these travel quotes have the same effect on you!
