95 most inspirational travel quotes ever penned

Our favourite inspirational travel quotes have encouraged us to travel with abandon over the years. Perhaps they will do the same for you…

For us, there is no such thing as luxury travel; travel is, by default, a luxury. It is a privilege provided by the country of our birth, a privilege that many are not as fortunate to enjoy.

Sometimes, we have to pinch ourselves at just how ridiculous our lives have become: an ex-teacher and jobbing writer travelling the world for a living. It is absurd, it is astonishing, it is luxury.

When I first went travelling at 21 years old, my father gave me this quote scrawled on a piece of card.

It infused me with wanderlust. It encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone, make the most of my time, see the world and enjoy the freedom that comes with being on the road. It remains one of the most inspirational travel quotes I’ve read (even if Twain did not actually say it).

Today, 20 years and almost 100 countries later, it’s still in my wallet. Despite its tattered and dishevelled appearance, it’s every bit as important to me now as it was then.

With that in mind, we’ve collated our most beloved inspirational travel quotes to encourage readers to “explore, dream and discover” for themselves.

50 Inspirational Travel Quotes to Ignite the Wanderlust in You

As a child gazing at a world map, I would daydream about exploring every exotic shore on the horizon. However, embarking on my first transatlantic journey revealed how challenging travel can also be. From navigating unforeseen obstacles to trying new foods, each foray away from home transforms us.

Travel expands perspectives, unravels preconceived notions, and illuminates the rich tapestry of global cultures. These inspirational travel quotes capture the allure of discovering new places, overcoming adversity, and the personal growth inspired by our journeys. May the words ignite your own wanderlust spirit and send you voyaging to far-flung realms!

Key Takeaways:

The call of distant shores: travel quotes about new destinations, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – lao tzu.

The Chinese philosopher highlights how even vast undertakings like world travel start small, with courage and intention. His wisdom inspired me to take my first solo trip to Asia . Though daunting, those initial steps created a path to the most rewarding experience of my life.

“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustave Flaubert

After hiking through jaw-dropping Yosemite Valley , I understood what Flaubert meant. Surrounded by towering granite cliffs and sequoia trees, I felt small yet connected to the grandeur of nature. Travel humbles and exhilarates us.

“Travel brings wisdom only to the wise. It renders the ignorant more ignorant than ever.” – Publilius Syrus

The ancient writer cautions that travel alone does not guarantee growth. We must approach our journeys with open minds, curiosity to learn, and critical thinking. Travel reveals our true natures.

“I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like the people or hate them than to travel with them.” – Mark Twain

Twain’s humor gets at a truth – sharing transport and living quarters reveals a travel companion’s character. Challenging situations will expose their integrity, patience, and problem-solving. Choose wisely for smooth journeys.

Embracing the Path Less Trodden: Quotes on Travel and Adventure

“life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” – helen keller.

Despite blindness and deafness, travel gave Keller fascinating insights into human nature, heightened her remaining senses, and broadened her worldview. She encourages us not to let fear limit our adventurous sides.

“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J.R.R. Tolkien

Many associate wandering with aimlessness. But as Bilbo Baggins of The Hobbit discovered, sometimes finding your way requires getting intentionally lost and following where the road takes you.

“Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.” – Asian Proverb

No description or photo can ever match being enveloped by the damp heat of the Borneo jungle or deafened by the volcanic eruption in Tonga I witnessed. Some moments must be lived firsthand – so get out there!

“Adventure may hurt you, but monotony will kill you.” – Anonymous

While trying new foods could cause belly issues and hiking the Inca Trail knee aches, staying within our comfort zones can actually shrink our worlds. When we stop challenging ourselves, we stop living and learning.

“There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep rolling under the stars.” – Jack Kerouac

This line from On the Road captures the restless spirit of adventure – to throw caution to the wind and risk it all for the freedom of the open road, come what may. It’s a siren call that tugs at every true wanderer’s soul.

The Gifts of the Journey: Quotes on the Benefits of Travel

“the more i traveled, the more i realized that fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.” – shirley maclaine.

MacLaine aptly expresses how travel breaks down the barriers between us, laying bare our common humanity. Prejudices seem to fade when we actually connect with people .

“Travel expands the mind and fills the gap.” – Sheda Savage

This quote perfectly captures the sense of returning from a journey feeling more full as a person, with a bank of indelible memories and learnings to enrich daily life. Travel indeed widens our mental horizons.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – Augustinus Sanctus

By staying home, we deprive ourselves of the fuller story and limit our knowledge of history, cultures, geographies, cuisines, languages, and more. Travel lets us read every chapter.

“Untouched by the customs and complexities of man, nature patiently waits to unleash her wonders on those who seek adventure.” – Pippa de Bruyn

De Bruyn inspires us to venture into remote corners where, free from human influence, nature surprises and rejuvenates the spirit. My trans-Siberian train journey through the stark Mongolian wilderness quenched my thirst for the rawness of the elements.

“To travel is to evolve.” – Pierre Bernardo

Through constantly navigating new cultures, terrains, people, and languages, travel expands our competence and knowledge. Tackling each unfamiliar situation shapes us through experience. We return home as expanded versions of ourselves.

Unveiling the World’s Secrets: Quotes About Exploring New Places

“a mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” – oliver wendell holmes, jr..

Holmes reveals how the insights gained through travel permanently change our psychology and worldview. After living in Mumbai , the poverty sharpened my gratitude and showed me how joy transcends wealth. My perspective forever transformed.

“The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.” – John Muir

This quote by the great naturalist makes me think of one of the joys of map-gazing as a child – imagining how much was out there to discover. Muir inspires us to seize the daylight and set off on the ultimate adventure – exploring the planet.

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” – Lao Tzu

The ancient Taoist master understood the magic that happens when travelers remain open to evolving journeys. Chance encounters, spontaneity and newfound freedom await those who let the journey unfold organically.

“Take only memories, leave only footprints.” – Chief Seattle

This reminder to tread lightly and respectfully should guide all travels. We take home cherished memories that enrich the soul. What we leave behind is our responsibility. From picking up trash to supporting local businesses, we vote with our actions to protect destinations.

The Tapestry of Global Traditions: Quotes About Different Cultures

“when we reject the single story, when we realize there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.” – chimamanda ngozi adichie.

Nigerian writer Adichie warns about the danger of a “single story” stereotype dominating perceptions of a people or place. By listening directly to locals’ multidimensional stories with empathy, we gain a nuanced cross-cultural understanding.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain

Twain perfectly expresses how living within diverse cultures expands minds and dissolves ingrained biases. Experiential learning fills gaps left by classroom lessons alone. This quote serves as my ongoing anthem for cultivating empathy through travel.

“I met a lot of people in Europe. I even encountered myself.” – James Baldwin

Here the author highlights the out-of-body experience of observing one’s own culture from afar for the first time. In a loose sense, travel introduces you to yourself within the tapestry of global diversity. These reflections foster personal growth.

Triumphs on the Trail: Quotes About Overcoming Travel Challenges

“the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” – marcel proust.

The French novelist illuminates that transformative travel is not just about seeing sights but gaining new perspectives. Visiting the pyramids shifted my perception of “old” from a negative to a sense of awe about human endurance.

Journeys That Shape Us: Quotes About Travel’s Transformative Power

“travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” – anonymous.

This quote elegantly captures how travel enriches us far beyond a monetary value. The memories, knowledge, confidence, friendships, and personal growth sparked by travel develop the spirit in priceless ways.

“We wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.” – Hilaire Belloc

Such a profound distinction – travel engages us far beyond the fleeting pleasures of a vacation. When we open ourselves to unfamiliar people and places, we open doors to transformation.

“Travel far enough, you meet yourself.” – David Mitchell

By testing ourselves in unfamiliar environments, the grit of travel reveals our true natures and we gain clearer self-knowledge. My solo backpacking trip helped me shed limiting beliefs about my introversion and capabilities.

“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill

Beyond sites seen, travel reveals humanity’s connective tissue. The shared joy and tribulations forge fast friendships. I still visit those I met on my very first hostel trip decades ago – they feel like old souls.

Timeless Travel Tales: Quotes on Creating Lasting Memories

“to travel is to live.” – hans christian andersen.

This pithy quote sums it up – immersing ourselves in new places and cultures makes us feel truly alive. Vibrant sights, sounds, and connections create indelible memories that enrich life after the journey ends.

“The life you have led doesn’t need to be the only life you have.” – Anna Quindlen

Quindlen’s quote reflects how travel allows us to reinvent ourselves and craft new narratives. Career woman becomes nomad. Homebody tastes street food. Daily routines give way to unexpected adventures and discovery.

“Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground.” – Paul Bowles

Eloquently put – there is no substitute for personally experiencing the textures and flavors of a place. Travel transforms foreign lands from abstractions into cherished memories that forge human connections.

Lessons Learned on the Road: Quotes About Personal Growth from Travel

“traveling tends to magnify all human emotions.” – peter hoeg.

The heightened novelty and stress of navigating new places often intensify reactions. Trips reveal the deepest aspects of relationships and force personal evolution at an accelerated pace.

“Once in a while it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.” – Alan Keightley

Keightley describes the awakening – travel liberates us from cultural conditioning and societal expectations. We relinquish roles to rediscover our authentic selves and what truly matters.

“The journey not the arrival matters.” – T.S. Eliot

T.S. Eliot reminds us that the magic happens along the open road, with each twist and turn expanding our horizons – not just upon reaching the destination. Travel is about embracing the process, not the outcome.

The Essential Expedition: Quotes About Why Travel Matters

“travel is never a matter of money, but of courage.” – paulo coehlo.

While finances impact possibilities, at its core, travel demands the courage to venture beyond the familiar and comfortable. As Coehlo says, daring to explore opens our lives and selves.

“If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and avoid the people, you might better stay home.” – James Michener

Michener makes clear that keeping an open mind and embracing cultural differences are prerequisites for meaningful travel that fosters human kinship.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustinus

By absorbing the diversity of life in unfamiliar realms, we enrich our perspectives and grayscale turns technicolor. Staying put closes the book while travel turns every page.

May these quotes ignite your lifelong quest to boldly venture beyond horizons, open minds to humanity’s mosaic, and discover more authentic selves. Keep collecting inspiring passages to reflect upon while lacing up your boots before the next journey that calls you.

The 100 Best Inspirational Travel Quotes to Spark Your Next Adventure

Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links. All hosted affiliate links follow our editorial policies .

I was a voracious reader when I was growing up, typically reading two books a week on average.

My lower-middle class family didn’t have the money to do much in the way of traveling, outside of the occasional camping trip in North Georgia . Both my parents worked, and my dad worked multiple jobs to support his family of five.

The furthest we ever traveled was a trip to visit my godparents in Virginia when I was 14. So instead I read books about travel and adventure long before I had the financial means to start taking adventures of my own.

It was the written word that originally fueled my travel dreams, from Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island  and Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Books  to Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea .

It was through Henry David Thoreau’s Walden , John Muir’s Our National Parks ,  and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Nature  that I developed a passion for the environment. Without them, who knows if I would’ve become the advocate for ecotourism and wildlife conservation I am today. 

And when I finally started traveling, the work of travel writers such as Jon Krakauer , Bill Bryson and Paul Theroux greatly influenced the way I did it.

But the first classic quote I remember having a significant impact on me came in the form of a Robert Frost poem: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.” This idea influenced many of my choices, setting me on the path to becoming a full-time professional writer in my twenties.

For me, these inspirational travel quotes aren’t just words: They are the distillation of a philosophy that continues to drive my life and work today. I hope they will prove equally influential for you…   –Bret Love; photos by Bret Love & Mary Gabbett

101 of the Best Travel Quotes to Inspire Amazing Adventures

I’ve put together 101 of the best travel quotes as a reminder, motivation, and remembrance for the reasons why we travel.

I’m not just talking about the sightseeing and beach vacations. Travel is about the journey as much as the beautiful destination.

We learn about the world by experiencing new cultures and ways of living, in turn learning about ourselves.

I’ve been traveling the world for a few years – Will has been traveling for over 9 years – and the rest of the Broke Backpacker crew has put quite a dent in their passports too. I think these awesome quotes about traveling highlight some of the magnificent journeys and lessons we’ve experienced along the way.

Why? Because Travel quotes provide inspiration and capture truths about travel, adventure, and life.

Just like travel, words have the power to open our minds to completely new perspectives, which is why I hope this collection of quotes about travel and powerful words will inspire you to get out there and experience some adventurous travel yourself.

101 Best Travel Quotes

Some last words….

From funny travel quotes to inspiring words from legends past and present, here are the 101 best:

1. Travel makes you realize that no matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn.” – Nyssa P. Chopra, The Cultureur

2. We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” – Anonymous

This is one of my favorite quotes about traveling. A lot of people think that one travels to escape life, or that long-term travelers are running away from reality. The way I see it – sure – maybe vacations are a quick escape from the real world, but traveling is a way to embrace life’s grandest adventures. Traveling is a way for life not to escape us.

3. “Travel doesn’t become adventure until you leave yourself behind.” – Marty Rubin

4. “To the tourist, travel is a means to an end; to the traveler, it’s an end in itself.” – Marty Rubin

5. “to live is to travel, on a voyage more epic than the odysseys of myth – not from place to place, but through the poignant strangeness of time.” – t.l rese.

6. “Travel often; Getting lost will help you find yourself.” – Holstee Manifesto

Some of my best travel experiences were not necessarily butterflies and rainbows. Sometimes they were uncomfortable and painful. Sometimes I have quite literally gotten lost, but in the end, these experiences have helped me find myself.

I think that is what traveling is often about: finding – or at least rediscovering – aspects of yourself.

7. “Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel’s immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way.” – Ralph Crawshaw

8. “a man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.” – george a. moore, 9. “sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.” –   drake.

This is one of the most important travel quotes. Doesn’t matter how long you’re traveling for, you’ll see new cultures, open your mind and change your way of thinking – even if it’s just a little bit. Traveling shows us sides of the world but also about yourself that you’ve never seen before. Having a different view on things helped a lot of people when it comes to making hard decisions.

10. “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture are like a tree without roots.” – Marcus Garvey

11. Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comforts of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things. -air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky. -all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” –  Cesare Pavese

I love this traveling the world quote from Cesare Pavese. Having been on the road for the last few years, he nailed my experience spot on. Nothing is certain – except air, sleep, the sea, the sky – but that is what traveling is about: embracing the unknown and trusting the process. The way I see it, the only thing for certain is what is happening in the now.

12. “Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.” – Jawaharlal Nehru

13. “culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs.” – thomas wolfe, 14. “traveling — it gives you home in a thousand strange places, then leaves you a stranger in your own land.” – ibn battuta.

This is one of the most beautiful travel quotes. Meeting so many new people, making new friends and even finding a second family, has to be one of the best aspects of traveling. Having traveled quite a bit, I can say that having multiple homes is definitely an amazing feeling, although it can also create some distance between you and your original home.

15. “Culture is a way of coping with the world by defining it in detail.” – Malcolm Bradbury

16. “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”- Ibn Battuta

Probably one of the best travel quotes I’ve heard – the play on words, the sincerity, and the capture of what it means to travel. Traveling will undoubtedly leave you speechless, surprised, and lost for words, but those words will be found, and you will have epic stories to tell.

18. “To travel is to take a journey into yourself.” – Danny Kaye

19. “every journey is personal. every journey is spiritual. you can’t compare them, can’t replace, can’t repeat. you can bring back the memories but they only bring tears to your eyes.” – diana ambarsari, 20. “the perfect journey is never finished, the goal is always just across the next river, round the shoulder of the next mountain. there is always one more track to follow, one more mirage to explore.” – rosita forbes, 21. “travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.” – ella maillart.

22. “Remember that happiness is a way of travel – not a destination.” –  Roy M. Goodman

I think this is one of my favorite quotes about travel. Having been to 30 or so countries, and plenty of destinations among them, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that happiness does   not come from beautiful destinations any more than the concept that money can buy happiness…

It’s easy to assume that if money can’t buy happiness, surely experiences can, but you can be in the most beautiful place on earth having some crazy experience, and not be happy. We tend to always be in search of the next big thing – the most beautiful beach or bigger mountain – without realizing that it is the journey there that matters, not the destination.

Happiness is hard to define of course, but I think happiness lies in your outlook and present state of mind. To be happy is to be in the present moment, no matter what you own or where you are.

Wanna know how to pack like a pro? Well for a start you need the right gear….

These are packing cubes for the globetrotters and compression sacks for the  real adventurers – these babies are a traveller’s best kept secret. They organise yo’ packing and minimise volume too so you can pack MORE.

Or, y’know… you can stick to just chucking it all in your backpack…

23. “What gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we all have.” – Elizabeth Benedict

24. “we must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.” – john hope franklin, 25. “though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.” – ralph waldo emerson.

Walking on the globe with your head down will never open up all views and beautiful things to see. In order to enjoy traveling, you have to keep your mind and heart open, accept different cultures and traditions and simply try to adapt. Keep a positive mindset and you’ll see the beauty of the world.

26. “Real traveling is not about visiting places but about ‘re-visiting’ our inner-self.” – Sorrab Singha

27. “Travel not to find yourself, but to remember who you’ve been all along.” – Unknown

Both of these travel quotes (#26 and #27) encapsulate that sometimes we travel to learn more about ourselves. A large aspect of traveling is, of course, visiting places, but sometimes you end up visiting parts of yourself too.

28. “Travelling expands the mind rarely.” – Hans Christian Andersen

29. “traveling outgrows its motives. it soon proves sufficient in itself. you think you are making a trip, but soon it is making you – or unmaking you.” – nicolas bouvier, 30. it is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.” – ursula k. le guin, 31. “the best journeys are the ones that answer questions that at the outset you never even thought to ask.” – rick ridgeway.

32. “You thought too hard. Same with travel. You can’t work too much at it, or it feels like work. You have to surrender yourself to the chaos. To the accidents.” –   Gayle Forman

This is one of my favorite travel quotes! It reminds me of something I read in the book  Shantaram , about an ex-convict on the run and his adventures in India. In the book, he was given similar advice: to surrender to India and accept his experience for what it was.

You have to surrender to the chaos and enjoy/endure the experiences as they come. While this is applicable to many aspects of life, it is definitely applicable to travel. You can’t try to force itineraries and plans or work hard to fulfill some high expectations in your mind. Doing so will only tire and disappoint you.

Stash your cash safely with this money belt. It will keep your valuables safely concealed, no matter where you go.

It looks exactly like a normal belt  except for a SECRET interior pocket perfectly designed to hide a wad of cash, a passport photocopy or anything else you may wish to hide. Never get caught with your pants down again! (Unless you want to…)

33. “Traveling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.”  – Lisa St. Aubin de Teran

34. “travel has a way of making the world a much smaller place.” – janna graber, 35. “life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.” –   oliver goldsmith, 36. “focus on the journey, not the destination. joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” – greg anderson.

37. “Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection.” – Lawrence Durrell

I can relate to this quote about travel quite well actually. The longer and more that I travel, the more I find myself self-analyzing and observing my own thought and emotional processes.

Traveling has a funny way of throwing you out into the world with the intention of discovering more about everything around you, only to realize you will discover far more about yourself. It is why traveling can be the most rewarding form of introspection.

38. “You develop a sympathy for all human beings when you travel a lot.” – Shakuntala Devi

39. “once you have traveled, the voyage never ends but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. the mind can never break off from the journey.” – pat conroy, 40. “travel and change of place impart new vigour to the mind.” – seneca, 41. “a man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints.” – wilfred peterson.

42. “It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.” – Ernest Hemingway

I can relate to these words quite a bit as I try to find the balance between preparing and planning for the future, reaching goals, and just enjoying the ride and staying present in the moment.

Having goals and an endpoint in sight is good; however, I don’t think it will be as satisfying if you don’t enjoy the moments that take you there. If you only focus on the destination you’ll miss everything that matters – the journey along the way.

43. “All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.” – Martin Buber

44. “life is a magical journey, so travel endlessly to unfold its profound and heart touching beauty.” – debasish mridha, 45. “good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.”- izaak walton.

Whether it’s long, annoying bus trips, a shabby hostel or simply somewhere you don’t necessarily feel comfortable, it’s always better to have great company by your side. Going through the rough times together makes the whole experience more endurable.

46. “The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.” – Alain de Botton

47. “With age, comes wisdom. With travel, comes understanding.” – Sandra Lake

I love this quote about traveling. With age, comes wisdom. Wisdom isn’t something you can read about, it is something you learn through experience. The same goes for travel. You can read and hear about places and people that are different than you, but sometimes it takes experiencing those places and meeting those people for yourself to truly understand them.

We’ve tested countless backpacks over the years, but there’s one that has always been the best and remains the best buy for adventurers: the broke backpacker-approved Osprey Aether and Ariel series.

Want more deetz on why these packs are so  damn perfect? Then read our comprehensive review for the inside scoop!

48. “Travel teaches toleration.” – Benjamin Disraeli

49. “travel opens your mind as few other things do. it is its own form of hypnotism, and i am forever under its spell.” – libya bray, 50. “half of the fun of travel is the aesthetic of lostness.” – ray bradbury, 51. “travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of the experience.” – francis bacon.

52. “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s OK. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” – Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain will always be remembered for his adventurous spirit and ability to share some of the most remote and fascinating corners of this planet with the rest of the world. His words ring true. Travel is not pretty, and it’s definitely not always comfortable.

Sometimes you’ll deal with awful buses and missed flights, sleep in strange places, be confronted with challenging and stressful situations, or encounter experiences that break your heart. But that’s okay because the journey will make you stronger, and ultimately make you a better person.

53. “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustav Flaubert

54. “it is always sad to leave a place to which one knows one will never return. such are the melancholies du voyage: perhaps they are one of the most rewarding things about traveling.” – gustave flaubert, 55. “all travel has its advantages. if the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. and if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.” – samuel johnson, 56. “uncertainty and anticipation are the joys of travel.” –  ken hundert.

57. “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” –  Dalai Lama

58. “investment in travel is an investment in yourself.” – matthew karsten.

Rather than investing in the latest technology, do yourself the favor and take yourself on a little trip. Clear your mind, learn new things and experience different cultures and people. You won’t regret it!

59. “Traveling carries with it the curse of being at home everywhere and yet nowhere, for wherever one is, some part of oneself remains on another continent.” – Margot Fonteyn

60. “certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” – miriam beard, 61. “culture is the tacit agreement to let the means of subsistence disappear behind the purpose of existence. civilization is the subordination of the latter to the former.” – karl kraus.

62. “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” – Lao Tzu

63. “travel expands the mind and fills the gap.” – sheda savage.

There are so many things to see and learn. The more you know, the more open your mindset and view will be. If you feel like you’re missing someone, invest in yourself and go on a trip to experience new things – you won’t regret it, we promise!

Drink water from ANYWHERE. The Grayl Geopress is the worlds leading filtered water bottle protecting you from all manner of waterborne nasties.

We’ve tested the Geopress  rigorously  from the icy heights of Pakistan to the tropical jungles of Bali, and can confirm: it’s the best water bottle you’ll ever buy!

64. “Traveling is almost like talking with men of other centuries.” – René Descartes

65. “if you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.” – cesare pavese, 66. “of the gladdest moments in human life, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands.” – richard francis burton.

67. “Travel is not really about leaving our homes, but leaving our habits.” – Pico Iyer

68. “when you’re traveling, you are what you are right there and then. people don’t have your past to hold against you. no yesterdays on the road.” – william least heat moon, 69. “i soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.” – lillian smith, 70. “for my part, i travel not to go anywhere but to go. i travel for travel’s sake. the great affair is to move.” – robert louis stevenson, 71. “conventional wisdom tells us… we take our baggage with us. i’m not so sure. travel, at its best, transforms us in ways that aren’t always apparent until we’re back home. sometimes we do leave our baggage behind, or, even better, it’s misrouted to cleveland and is never heard from again.” – eric weiner.

72.  “The journey is part of the experience – an expression of the seriousness of one’s intent. One doesn’t take the A train to Mecca.” – Anthony Bourdain

73. “travel is like love, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. that is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.” – pico iyer, 74. “to my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – bill bryson, 75. “perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” – maya angelou, 76. “travel does what good novelists also do to the life of every day, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art.” – freya stark.

77. “The true fruit of travel is perhaps the feeling of being nearly everywhere at home.” – Freya Stark

78. “you will, if you’re wise and know the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the unknown and accept whatever comes in the spirit in which the gods may offer it.” – freya stark, 79. “when you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. it is designed to make its own people comfortable.” – clifton fadiman.

This another one of the most important travel quotes, especially in nowadays time. When traveling, always keep your mind open, be respectful towards other people and try new things. Just because your believes, expectations and values work for you, doesn’t mean that it works for others too. Watch, experience and keep the critical thoughts to yourself if you don’t want to make enemies in a different country.

Best Travel Quotes: The 55 Most Inspirational Travel Quotes Of All Time

Posted on Last updated: November 10, 2021
