Workaway team in quarantine: Our 20 Best Self Isolation Quotes

With the weight of a global pandemic on our minds these days, one way to stay positive is to look at quotes that encourage, inspire and remind us to live our best life no matter what happens around us or in the world! 

Here at Workaway we ‘got together’ in our virtual office and shared some of our favourite quotes that uplift us, make us laugh and help us to keep going! 

These are some of the most inspirational quotes chosen by our team members for when you need a little pick-me-up:
