3. Annie Jensen, Mount Loop Hwy, Washington.

I found that I was more confident when I stopped trying to be someone else’s version of beautiful and started being my own. – Remington Miller After all these years, I finally found myself amongst these rugged peaks, lost in the forgotten wilderness. It took me a while to get here, but I know there’s no turning back. #rockyourconfidence 📷 | @beauramsey 😘

Soaring above the Zambezi river and the thundering Victoria Falls.

8. Yulia Denisyuk, Turkey.

The only remedy for the agonizing realization that time is slipping through our fingers like sand is to chase an e l e v a t e d d r e a m, a dream to which we can devote our remaining time. We come and go like a lightning. Let’s make it count. 💫 #cappadocia #nomadicluster Tesekkur @pyrzefe for the 📸

12. David M. Axelrod, Agra Fort, India.

Wishing everyone a happy and productive week full of new dreams and dreams fulfilled. Maybe take a moment to reflect on an experience you’ve had that you’re especially grateful for, or an experience you haven’t had yet that you are committed to making real. Dreams and memories are two things no one can take from you. Honor them. ✌🏽️ . #traveltheworld #exploremore #nateo #natgeotravel #fodorsonthego #lonelyplanet #agra #agrafort #wanderlust #fernweh #worldtravel #worldtraveler #exotic #india #indiatravel #aroundtheworld

13. William Woodward, Preikestolen, Norway.

It’s sometimes hard to describe the feeling, but perhaps the best word is clarity. A type of presence that is completely void of distraction. I try not to take these moments for granted. #wheretowillie #willieinnorway
