Road Trip: 15 Original Artworks That Will Inspire Wanderlust

When you’re experiencing creative burnout or you want to break away from old patterns, some time on the open road can set you free.

For me, unfamiliar sights and surroundings always unleash a flood of different ideas and valuable inspiration, and I come home committed to making something new. Diane Arbus said it best when she said,
“My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been.”

Allow yourself the luxury of an open-ended weekend.

If you’re looking to recharge, shift your perspective, or reconnect with nature, taking time out for yourself and going somewhere solo can be life changing.

A spontaneous trip with a friend can reaffirm your bond and bring a renewed appreciation for each other.

In our hyperconnected age, spending unplugged time exploring uncharted territory together is priceless.
