Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
Look at life through a windshield, not through the rear view mirror.
Making memories one road trip at a time.
Roads were made for journeys, not destinations.

Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.
Once a year, go somewhere you’ve never been before.
Take vacations, and go as many places as you can. You can always make money, but you can’t always make memories.
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.
There’s this thing about road trips that throws our sense of time out of the window.

A great road adventure is measured in friends rather than kilometers.
All I need is one wheel in hand and four wheels on the road.
Any road will take you wherever you want to go. Just pick one and go.
Arriving isn’t everything. It’s the wild stuff that happens along the way that makes up everything.
Communing with the open road. It listens, feels, and understands.
Drifting on the road is my favorite mood.
The journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step.
Going places that I’ve never been.
I’ve always wanted to see what’s at the end of the road.
Just like roads, life has roadblocks. The only way to reach your destination is to adapt to the situation by going around them and looking for other paths.
It is actually the interruptions that happen along the way that makes up the whole journey.
It may be a long journey, but it will take you to freedom.
Keep moving forward and don’t look back.
Have you ever thought that you haven’t captured the perfect photo with you in it?
