Happy #TravelTuesday! Here is a lovely lady and friend from Toronto, Janice who has been there, done that.. and well, has probably out-traveled many of us. Here is her post on Photos that Inspire her to travel!
Some people may be very specific about what inspires them to travel. If asked to present photos that inspire them they might all be of landscapes, coral reefs for diving, or food, markets and wineries. Everyone is inspired by different things. But some of us are inspired by many things.
For this guest posts I took a quick scan of my pictures to give you a broad cross-section of what inspires me to travel.
Here is my Travel Tip..
![Sunrise from Cadillac Mountain. morning sunrise over ocean and islands](http://solotravelerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSCN1442.jpg)
Seeing the sunrise in different locations inspires me to travel. This view is from the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, Maine, USA.
![View of Morella Spain View of ancient city on mountain](http://solotravelerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSCN01381.jpg)
History definitely inspires me to travel. This is a view of Morella, Spain. A city thousands of years old. Fascinating.

I have had international students stay with me a number of times. Learning about their home countries and seeing their enthusiasm for new things inspires me to travel.

Picking up two of my sons after they've spent a week canoeing Algonquin Park inspires me to travel close to home.

Being a part of scenes like this one at the FIB Music Festival in Benicassim, Spain is energizing and inspires me to travel.

Wow the beauty and bounty of HIS great outdoors.
Hi Apple, yes God is great indeed! 🙂
Cool. A bit of everything! – So many reasons to travel. From sunrise to places to people to sunset.. 🙂
(Where’s the food though? :P)
In their stomachs.. silly 😛
Nice shots Janice! Love the view of Spain. Now because of the blogtrips, Spain is one of the hottest place to visit! 🙂 haha! Awesome.
Great moments. I also have few shots say ‘okay I’m such a backpacker’ moments. How can’t we leave out camera when we are traveling?
Nice post Janice and Mei! 🙂
I know.. that’s my favourite shot too.. really inspiring.. i want to hop on a plane like NOW!
looking at photos like these inspire me to travel! 😀
thanks sean.. the feeling is mutual!
I have always loved nature 🙂
i know you are a nature lover!
Great pics, Janice. The pic of the Rockies reminds me of my solo backpacking trip to Canada (Canadian Rockies – also pretty awesome) – when I was young and agile hahaha. Time to pull out my old travel photos for a good cry.
Every time I feel like I shouldn’t be spending more money on travelling, I pull out my pictures and instantly my guilt is erased! Your rockies photo is inspiring me to consider some west coast trip planning sooner rather than later!
I liked these photos so much cannot explain. The best thing i enjoy traveling is the landscapes and the undisturbed nature.
