Marianne Vos Quotes

Any time I have any time off, I try to travel.

I want to see friends more and travel more.

I will travel a lot after my career.

On my real vacations, I meet up with friends and we go for walks on the beach. We stroll through old cities, swim in the sea, and take afternoon naps. We shop, lunch, and, yeah, drink.

I love to travel, but sometimes it's nice to stay in one place.

Over the years, my work became both my vocation and avocation. Since I enjoyed it so much, I never felt a great need to go outside for relaxation. Nevertheless, I became an avid photographer and traveler. Possibly my love for travel stems from the early years when my family seldom went away on vacation.
