    Can I use these compilation of words together with its descriptions? I wanted to make designs for each and print it on my bags. Actually its my product, I’m selling canvas bags (totebag, slingbag, string bag, backpack) with travel inspired quotes. I also want to travel the world like you. You can check it on IG @justgo_travelbags you might like it I think 🙂
    Don’t worry, once done I’ll credit you every time I will post it on social media. Please allow me. Thanks!
