Quotes about Travelling Alone

Beyond the perfect instagram travel captions, these ones make you think.

“Birds fascinate me. The sense of community they share when they fly together and yet that sense of scarcity they feel when they flock onto the very same branch, leaving several empty branches free.

After all, travel isn’t just about good vibes.

“Travel is only glamorous in retrospect” – Paul Theroux

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

“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; NEVER stop fighting.” – E.E. Cummi ngs

“I have always been an advocate for the “Go hard, or go home” way of living.  I don’t like being a parked car , instead opting for a fifth gear kind of life. This philosophy works, except sometimes I’m driving too many roads in fifth gear which later converge into an intersection of carnage.” Caz Makepeace, Living Life Unplugged.

Travel Misquotes

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference” – Robert Frost. 

Like many, I studied this poem years ago at school and felt moved by the words. Later, I found an interview in which Robert Frost revealed his surprise at the way his work had been interpreted. He began by writing about an acquaintance, one who frequently bragged about his experiences. And with that, I see these words in a completely different light. I wonder how much that applies to these other quotes?!

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

In this case, I thought the quote came from the British comedian David Mitchell and therefore it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to a lot of the “finding yourself” fluff you hear about travel. In researching this, apparently not. A different David Mitchell. So maybe he meant it on a deeper level after all?

Looking Inside

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes” – Marcel Proust. 

“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign” – Robert Louis Stevenson

“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.”  – Anita Desai

“I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on earth, then I ask myself the same question.” –Harun Yahya

“You don’t choose the day you enter the world and you don’t choose the day you leave. It’s what you do in between that makes all the difference.” – Anita Septimus

“Travel gives freedom. It gives the permission to rest and to breathe and to think – at least for some of the time. And that time, of course, is precious: we can’t know how much we will have.” The Importance of Doing Nothing.

Who you travel with matters more than where travel quote for an instagram caption

Family Travel Quotes

The perfect instagram captions for when the whole gang travel with you.

“As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was about to happen.” – A. A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh

“Travelling in the company of those we love is home in motion” – Leigh Hunt

“Oh, the places you’ll go!” – Dr. Seuss

“And at the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair messy and your eyes sparkling.” – Shanti

“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it” – Peter Pan J.M. Barrie

“Take the scenic route to a beautiful place alone. New destinations make for great company. ” – Abigail King

Great travel quotes -

Educational Travel Quotes

“I want to focus on themes and on topics that I can really learn about. I want to be able to have a discussion about St Francis – or Buddhism or Gothic architecture or modern Japan or conservation or whatever – where I can challenge your views and you can challenge mine and I don’t just end up shrugging because I don’t know what I’m really talking about.” Michael Turtle.

“ Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.“ Francis Bacon

On the Run?

“What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do — especially in other people’s minds. 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

“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.” Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Caz Makepeace Parked Car Travel Quote

Coming Back from New Adventures and New Places

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” – Terry Pratchett

“Home is where the heart is, and my heart is wherever I am at the moment.” – Lily Leung

The Travel Quote that Speaks to Me the Most

“We shall not cease from exploration, and at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” T. S. Eliot.

Of all the travel quotes, this one reaches into me the most. While I admire the achievements of Helen Keller, laugh at the “one hell of a story” and feel moved by the words of Maya Angelou, I prefer the word “exploring” in this idea.

Many of the quotes talk about courage and introspection but here, we have the idea of exploring.

That can be inside your head. Travel may not be necessary at all. Which brings me to this final short travel quote:

“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” Henry David Thoreau.

What do you think? Which of these quotes about travel speaks to you? How do you feel about leaving your comfort zone? Or should we just aim to live life, whether we travel on the road or in our minds? And how can we combine all of this into the best short travel quotes for instagram?!

Have you ever wondered why Instagram captions even matter?

Compelling Instagram captions increases your chance of engagement from others on your posts. Since we are all looking for added engagement on our Instagram feed AND since engagement is one of the most important things that the Instagram algorithm considers when ordering feed content, learning how to be engaging is vital.

Whether you focus on travel, happiness, or positive attitude quotes for Instagram, the captions you include add context to your image.

How to Write Good Instagram Captions

Compelling captions can create more engagement, which is critical when it comes to Instagram’s algorithm. Strong copy in your caption shapes your brand’s story and personality, which in turn helps your followers realize they need what you’re selling. ~ Shopify

As a video and photo sharing platform, Instagram helps you to connect with friends and followers to grow your brand.

You can share Instagram stories, reels, or even shop for specific items; it is one of the most popular social media platforms for tweens, teens, and adults.

What are the questions you should ask about writing an Instagram caption that will inspire someone to like, share, or comment? 

  • Do you have a consistent brand personality?
  • Do you tell a compelling story that hooks readers and makes them want to learn more?
  • Do your captions capture your audience’s attention? As you begin, you should aim for 70 to 100 words in a caption. As you continue, you’ll know what resonates best and can experiment with shorter or longer captions.

If you post travel content, as I do, your captions for a trip or travel quotes for Instagram should set a clear focus for your brand.

  • The first thing that catches a person’s attention on Instagram is your picture or reel. The second thing is the first sentence of your caption . Make it count.
  • Be descriptive as you tell a story .
  • Use hashtags . Hashtags are designed to help users discover relevant content that interests them. While you can use up to 30 hashtags in a post, be mindful of the trends. Current trends suggest that no more than 3 to 5 are ideal.
  • Include a call to action (CTA) in your captions. You’ll often see people referring you to a link in their bio as Instagram does not allow additional links in captions. I often include a link in my caption; readers would have to copy and paste it into their browser to be directed your site.
  • Let your personality shine through .
  • Be creative. Sometimes a one or two-word caption works best. Other times, you’ll want a paragraph.
  • Be consistent .

Solo Travel Guide Planning

🚗 Where can I book bus or private transportation while I’m traveling?

I strongly recommend using  Bookaway . You can book almost all transport in the major tourist destinations through them online. They don’t just cover buses they also cover shuttles, ferries, and private drivers.

🎫  Where can I buy tickets for museums, attractions, and tours?

I recommend either  Viator  or  GetYour Guide . They have a lot of options!

👩‍⚕️ What is the best insurance to have while traveling?

I recommend using  Heymondo  for a great value policy. The app also offers you 24/7 Dr Chat. For Digital Nomads check out  SafetyWing  digital nomad insurance.

I have also written a blog post covering all my recommended travel insurance  here

✈️ Any flight recommendations?

WayAWay  offers you cheap flights with cashback. You can use this code CLAIRE22 to get 10% off. Otherwise  Skyscanner  or  Expedia  are my go-to flight searching platforms.

📱What do you use for internet connection while traveling?

I’m a big fan of personal WiFi devices and they have saved my ass so many times when traveling. I wrote a full review of the top travel WiFi devices you can read  here . I personally use  GlocalMe  as I can either pop in a physical sim card or use their local carrier.

With regards to my phone connection, I use e-sims while traveling, so rather than having to swap out my regular sim card I can download the app and buy a virtual sim card. I recommend using either Airhub  or  Alosim . Both have great coverage of multiple countries and are very easy to use.

🛏️ What is the best platform to use for booking accommodation?

The 3 best platforms that I normally use are  Booking.com ,  Hotels.com , and  Expedia  They offer great deals and multiple options. I always check all three to be sure of the best deals.

  • James Wong is a freelance travel writer and expert.
  • He's reported for publications including VOGUE, GQ, Time Out and Thrillist.
  • James has lived in London, Tokyo and New York; and has traveled to almost every corner of the world.

It's so much more than just a travel caption. Modern voyages can come with its own set of jam-packed itineraries, transport delays , getting lost, language barriers, and food poisoning.

But that's enough about travel's tough parts.

Travel is embracing adventure and connection, exploring a sight unseen, and living life to the fullest. It's why we work so hard and endure the potential stresses that can come from it. A romantic weekend getaway , a world-class honeymoon , anniversary trip or even a bach party all come with memories to last a lifetime, making the effort worthwhile. If you're documenting special moments on smartphone (and let's face it, who isn't?) then we have just the caption to join those beloved snaps. From funny to inspirational, here are our favorite lines for your tan lines and the rest.

Travel Quotes for Instagram From Famous Authors

As with the more famous travel captions, there are also plenty of travel quotes from famous authors, doing the rounds on Instagram. 

Some of these are from famous travel writers who I admire like Ernest Hemingway, Paul Theroux and Bill Bryson.

There are also a few great novelists and poets such as Robert Louis Stevenson and Hans Christian Andersen whose famous travel quotes, still feature in our modern travel lives today.

“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to roam the roads of lands remote: To travel is to live.” — Hans Christian Andersen

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain

“Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.” — Ernest Hemingway

“To travel is worth any cost or sacrifice.” – Elizabeth Gilbert

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

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

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, we can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” –  Maya Angelou

“You need not even listen, just wait…the world will offer itself freely to you, unmasking itself.” — Franz Kafka

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less travelled by.” — Robert Frost

“The history of mankind is the instant between two strides taken by a traveller.” — Franz Kafka

“The mind was dreaming. The world was its dream.” — Jorge Luis Borges

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is 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

“I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with different points of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.” — Eric Roth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
