Mark Twain once said: ‘Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.’
This quote is fitting for the little community of Monday Escapes bloggers we are slowly building. And it is that – a group of like-minded people who have come together to share our love of travel. The great thing is, each week we are discovering more and more people to join our gang. It’s truly inspirational and long may it continue.
Here are a selection of our favourite posts and photos from last week, please check them out if you haven’t already:

What is Monday Escapes?
