Our favourite mountain quotes to inspire the adventure in you.
We love travelling and exploring new places around the world. As much as we love unique beach destinations, we can’t get enough of mountains.
There is something inspiring in them that makes you want to get to the top.
After hiking the Canadian Rocky Mountains, climbing Bulgarian and Polish peaks, seeing beautiful views from the top of volcanoes in Central America, we love the sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching the top.
We recently put together a post of sunset quotes & adventure quotes and decided to do the same and list our favourite mountain quotes we think of when climbing them.
It feels like we came a long way since the start of our travels back in 2013, where we were lost not knowing what we really want in life.
Starting our blog was one of the best decisions we ever made as it gave us a purpose and helped us realise what we really want for our future to look like.
Steve and I love to travel and we can’t imagine our lives not being able to explore the world.
We are so grateful to be able to accomplish our dreams while helping others get inspired.
We really hope you will enjoy our mountain quotes and that they will give you the inspiration to get you out there and explore the world.

One of the best mountains quotes out there in our opinion!
Last year we’ve spent a winter season in Bansko, Bulgaria. We actually heard about this place through social media and decided to check it out for ourselves.
No one we knew really heard about the place and thought we are crazy to go somewhere we don’t know.
We love challenges and places people don’t usually go to live, so we decided to stay there for 5 months.
We signed up a lease on an apartment we haven’t seen, packed our bags and headed to snowy Bulgaria.
Let us tell you, this is one of the most incredible, charming and friendliest countries we’ve been to. We can’t wait to head back there next season and call this place our home once again.
Bansko has a special place in our hearts and always will be since this is where Steve proposed to me too!
