The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot. Michael Altshuler We will have to wait one more year to get back to Amsterdam and the Netherlands for spring, but it will be worth the wait! The trees lining the canals in bloom, the city alive with new energy, and the fields of tulips. It will be a dream come true.

Humankind must learn to understand that the life of an animal is in no way less precious than our own. Paul Oxton A beautiful chinstrap penguin basking on the icy shore. The roughly 14 million chinstrap penguins are found in Antarctica and sub-Antarctica. Swimming, chinstrap penguins reach speeds of about 30 kph, or 18 mph. They slide around the ice on their stomachs with their feet and flippers propelling them when they are on land. #conservation #protectwildlife #extin...ctionisforever #ethicaltreatmentofanimals #alllifeisprecious#protectourplanet #preservation #responsibletravel #sustainabletravel #travelwithapurpose #mindfultravel #positiveimpact #evolveyourtravel See more

The problem with Greece is that she’s just too beautiful. Unknown Symi, one of the Dodecanese Island chain, is looking pretty good right now. Who wouldn't want to be there after the last year?!

"Now is the time when we must renew ourselves and live as if we and all of life is sacred, and as if everything we do makes a difference." - Jean Houston Sunrise at Godafess, Iceland, and the perfect picture to reflect the opportunity we have at the moment to start a 'sustainable renewal,' and that everything we do, DOES make a difference. This is just one of Iceland's stunning landscapes. It is a small destination that offers so much. #iceland #godafess #sustainablerenewal... #itmakesadifference #newdestinations #explore #sustainabletravel #travelwithapurpose #positiveimpact #conservation #worldtravels #globalcommunity #kindness #tolerance #understanding #makeadifference #evolve #evolveyourtravel See more

"Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional." - Roger Crawford The perfect pic representing being a business owner in these challenging times. You have to stand tall, keep getting back in the water, beleive in yourself, and keep finding ways to improve. Remember to support small businesses in your community, and at large, that still face challenges as a result of the pandemic. #lifeschallenges #supportsmallbusinesses #standtall #believeinyourself #com...munity #riskgoingtoofar #makeadifference #kindness #tolerance #understanding #sustainabletravel #positiveimpact #conservation #worldtravels #globalcommunity #evolve #evolveyourtravel See more

Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter. - African Proverb This beautiful lion is in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, part of the Serengeti-Ngorongoro Biosphere Reserve UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern Tanzania.

Beauty! There is so much beauty in this picture. The lady, the lighting, the framing, and of course, the famous backdrop of the Taj Mahal. It is the perfect moment. Two reasons we travel, to experience the beauty and the perfect moments. Until we can travel again, we can be inspired. Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. - Confucius #beauty #india #tajmahal #beautyinallthings #newexperiences #newdestinations #explore #sustainabletravel #travelwithapurpose #po...sitiveimpact #conservation #worldtravels #globalcommunity #bekind #tolerance #understanding #makeadifference #evolve #evolveyourtravel See more

Bellissimo e delizioso! Fresh and delicious Tuscan bruschetta with homemade mozzarella. In this case, a picture is worth a thousand bites! Great food and wine, just a couple of the great reasons to travel to Italy, one of our favorite destinations.

Adventure! This amazing pedestrian bridge, the Ruyi, is located in China, south of Shanghai in the Shenxianju Valley. Opened in late 2020, it is 100 meters long and 140 meters high. It is composed of three undulating bridges, and one of its deck is made of transparent glass. Now, that is an adventure! Until we can travel again, we can be inspired. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. - Helen Kell...er #china #ruyibridge #adventure #distantlands #newdestinations #explore #sustainabletravel #travelwithapurpose #positiveimpact #conservation #worldtravels #globalcommunity #kindness #tolerance #understanding #makeadifference #evolve #evolveyourtravel

Tranquility. "Sitting on the Dock of a Bay." Sometimes we travel just for the peace and tranquility our bodies and souls need. When we need to go beyond our walls, whatever they may be. Until we can travel again, we can be inspired.
