24 Quotes to Inspire You to Pack Your Bags and Travel the World

Share the post "24 Quotes to Inspire You to Pack Your Bags and Travel the World"

Traveling has been my one true passion in life. It keeps you on your toes, forces you to open your eyes and see the world from a different perspective, and accept things as they come. It also reminds you about what truly matters in life – the people you surround yourself with and the joy that comes from living in the moment.

It is so easy to get swept away in the routine of things and, before you know it, weeks, months or even years have passed by, and you have nothing to show for it. I’ve heard so many people in my life saying “Yeah, I’ll go travel, but first I need to __________.” But once you accomplish whatever that is, then there’s always another obstacle, another goal. That’s human nature.

But if you keep putting it off, one day you’ll wake up realizing that you missed your opportunity. Sure, perhaps you can go traveling once you’ve saved up a lot of money or are retired, but will those experiences be the same as if you had gone while you were still young and able-bodied? Traveling takes courage, especially if you want to do it long-term. But it is worth it.

I spent my first two years abroad making next to nothing, and yet I visited 10 new countries and met some amazing people along the way, including my husband. I will hold these memories forever in my heart, and I look forward to exploring the world even more – there’s still so much left to see! Each country I visit teaches me something new, both about the world and about myself, and these experiences and lessons are invaluable – I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

So, what are you waiting for? Read through some of my favorite travel quotes to motivate you to take the plunge and live your life the way you’ve always wanted it to be!

The following is from the first paragraph of Moby Dick. There are times when “normal” life no longer cuts it, when I have to go somewhere far away where the language, food, people and sights and smells are different. This quote describes the feeling that spurs me to travel…

“… Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off – then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.”

“To move, to breath, 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

These are wonderful quotes. I like this one the best: “To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world. – Freya”

It reminds me of some silly movie I once saw where the actress said she loved finding herself in a city or town where she couldn’t speak the language, knew nobody, and didn’t know where she was. That defined what a good day for her was.

I liked that quote. I feel the same way.

05/18/2012 at 9:36 am

When I think of the word travel, I don’t always associate it with exploring and being active geographically speaking but more a state of mind – a curiosity for people, life and culture.

One of the things I enjoyed whilst on the road was collecting memorable quotes from people I met in each Country. It doubled as a great trigger to remind me of the moments and people I connected with also.

05/18/2012 at 9:43 pm

Number four is my favourite. I try to remember that all the time

I love this post. Some of these are quotes that I live by, while others were completely new. One of my favorite quotes (not exclusive to travel) is by Oscar Wilde, “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” I truly feel the most alive when I’m traveling.

05/22/2012 at 5:28 pm

These are great quotes — I like the Zig Ziglar one, you seldom get lucky just sitting down. So true.

05/22/2012 at 8:03 pm

Another one:

“It is a very strange sensation to inexperienced youth to feel itself quite alone in the world: cut adrift from every connection; uncertain whether the port to which it is bound can be reached, and prevented by many impediments from returning to that it has quitted. The charm of adventure sweetens that sensation, the glow of pride warms it.” – Jane Eyre

May I add a couple of more from Mark Twain?

Mark Twain wrote:

…nothing so liberalizes a man and expands the kindly instincts that nature put in him as travel and contact with many kinds of people.

– Letter to San Francisco Alta California newspaper, dated May 18th, 1867; published June 23, 1867

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.

– Innocents Abroad

07/18/2012 at 7:32 am

Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of Habit, the leaden weight of Routine, the cloak of many Cares and the slavery of Hope, one feels once more happy. The blood flows with the fast circulation of childhood. . . . A journey, in fact, appeals to the Imagination, to Memory, to Hope,—the three sister Graces of our moral being.

—Sir Richard Burton, Zanzibar (London, 1872), vol. 1, pp. 16-17

08/13/2012 at 6:32 pm

Great quotes! Very inspiring.

08/16/2012 at 12:26 pm

“A traveling fool is better than a sitting wise person.” Old Mongolian Proverb

09/20/2012 at 12:18 pm

Actually, #27 is my favorite travel quote! 🙂

09/15/2013 at 10:12 am

My favourite quotes are from an Italian Travel writer: Tiziano Terzani. If you get the chance to read one of his books you’ll love him!

10/12/2013 at 9:32 pm

Thanks for sharing! My favorite: Though we tavel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

03/27/2014 at 5:07 am

I love the quote from St. Augustine : “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

04/09/2015 at 6:28 pm

I am so inspired to travel! I love number 2, its so blunt but so very true.

04/19/2017 at 1:36 pm

Mark Twain has always been a writer I’ve thoroughly enjoy and aspire to become like. His thoughts are timelines. His stories are thought provoking. And most of all he lived a life well-lived. So, out of this list his quote is the one that I find the best when it comes to living not just traveling.

04/30/2019 at 12:53 am

Really inspirational and motivational. Specially like “I see my path, but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I’m going is what inspires me to travel it. – Rosalia de Castro”.

We love traveling and have been digital nomads for the past few years, and some of these quotes inspired us to take the leap. Of course, you don’t have to leave everything behind and start traveling the world, but you might need a push to block that holiday.

“the goal is to die with memories, not dreams.” – anonymous, “you don’t have to be rich to travel well.” – eugene fodor, “the more i traveled, the more i realized fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” – shirley maclaine, “a good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” – lao tzu, “we travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.” – anaïs nin, “wherever you go, go with all your heart.” – confucius, “the world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” – saint augustine, “travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” – anonymous, “once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” – dalai lama, “to travel is to take a journey into yourself.” – danny kaye, “the gladdest moment in human life is a departure into unknown lands.” – sir richard burton, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – lao tzu, “not all those who wander are lost.” – j.r.r. tolkien, “traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – ibn battuta, “to travel is to live.” – hans christian andersen, “take only memories, leave only footprints.” – chief seattle, “travel brings power and love back into your life.” – rumi, “wanderlust: a desire to travel, to understand one’s very existence.” – anonymous, “the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” – marcel proust, “stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey.” – babs hoffman, “the purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” – eleanor roosevelt, “i haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” – susan sontag, “blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures.” – lovelle drachman, “a journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – tim cahill, “travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.” – anthony bourdain, “the life you have led doesn’t need to be the only life you have.” – anna quindlen, “to travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” – aldous huxley, “to awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.” – freya stark, “the biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.” – oprah winfrey, “the world is full of wonderful things you haven’t seen yet. don’t ever give up on the chance of seeing them.” – j.k. rowling, “travel is never a matter of money but of courage.” – paulo coelho, “travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” – seneca, “the world is too big to stay in one place, and life is too short to do just one thing.” – anonymous, “collect moments, not things.” – anonymous, inspirational quotes for traveling: 35 inspiring sayings.

This quote is so impactful because, on the one hand, fear keeps us from going on adventures. On the other hand, we fear wasting our time on this planet without creating memories.

We strongly agree with the famous travel writer. I traveled on a shoestring, and I still made some fantastic memories.

That time, I went to London for the first time and shared a hostel room with nine of my friends. Or that time, I couch-surfed with a friend from Erasmus in Prague. Those trips have created some of the best memories.

Many people fear the unknown, but when you trust your gut and follow your heart, it will reward you.

I love this quote because I also love books, and I love reading while traveling. Moreover, what I usually do is read a book about the country I travel to, or written by a local writer.

When you see, you understand. Don’t trust what others tell you about a place or destination. Go and see it yourself.

I once had this quote printed and glued on my desk. It kept me motivated and reminded me why I did the work I did.

All you have to do is build up the courage to make that first step. And all the other will follow. Once you start traveling, you cannot stop.

I’ve once seen this written on a sign on a beautiful Greek island . And whenever I read it, my mind flies to that yellow sand and turquoise water.

When you travel, try to make the best out of your trip. Step outside of the beaten path and get to understand the place you visit and its people.

This makes me remember that one time we got lost in a Vietnamese jungle, trying to reach the beach in the middle of the night.

Be curious about your fellow travelers. Meet the locals and learn about their normal lives.

For me, that’s one of the most inspirational quotes for traveling. The best way to have a personal idea is to go and see it yourself.

Maybe that’s why we are constantly on the move. From living in Hong Kong to moving to South Korea, traveling extensively in Germany and Italy, we did it all.

Finally, in today’s world and society, where it is more important what you have than what you have done, be different. Firstly, invest in your hobbies and the things that you love. Secondly, make time to travel. Finally, go there with all your heart and with your eyes wide open.

In conclusion, these are my favorite inspirational quotes about traveling. Make sure to check out also my list of Funny Travel Quotes or Quotes about traveling with friends .

101 Famous Travel Quotes

Travel quotes that make you think.

People travel for different reasons, such as to see family and friends, to look for opportunities or to learn about other cultures and even to learn about themselves.

One of the reasons I like travelling so much is that when travelling, it’s easier for me to be whoever I want to me.

This travel quote by travel writer and historian William Least Heat-Moon highlights something about travelling that many of us crave – freedom.

Travelling gives you the freedom of re-inventing yourself and not having to live up to the expectations of your past as the people you meet along the way don’t know you and don’t have preconceived ideas of who you are or who you need to be.   

You might also like these travel with friends quotes for more inspiration. 

I have visited 60+ countries and territories and contributed hundreds of articles to newspapers, magazines and websites around the world.

This travel quote rings a bell for me as no writer, podcaster or videographer has ever portrayed a place I’ve visited with a 100% match to my take on life.

That’s because we are all individuals with different experiences.

For me, the most exciting part of travelling is arriving in a place that I’ve never been before and even if I’ve researched it or seen it in an award-winning documentary, words and images rarely evoke the emotions of the first contact with a strange land.  

Writing or video are one and two-dimensional, whereas standing in the middle of a market in Istanbul in real-life evokes not only your sight and hearing but the five senses kick in.

Your sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch come together to allow you to experience a place in a way it’s just not possible by reading words on a page, no matter how skilful the writer, or watching pictures on a screen no matter how talented the producer.

On a trip to Antarctica, I remember feeling taken aback by the overpowering stench of guano as soon as I stepped off the ship.

The awe of hearing 10,000+ penguins and seals honking, trumpeting, braying (call it whatever you like).

I’ve seen similar scenes on a large screen with surround sound but nothing has ever come close to the wonder I felt of being there.

However, I’m looking forward to seeing how Virtual Reality might change my thoughts on this subject.

Take some time to reflect upon this travel quote by American travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux .

Ask yourself why you travel and then dig deeper and examine your true motivations.

You may have booked a week in Bali because you feel stressed out and need to get away and being in Bali makes you feel instantly relaxed.

In this case, it might seem that you’re travelling to Bali because you’re stressed but, you’re going there to seek a result – which is the feeling of being relaxed.

So ask yourself why you booked that European river cruise or that trip to Cuba – the answer is most likely a feeling or a state of mind that’s within you. 

Short Travel Quotes

Short travel quotes to use for instagram and twitter.

The best places to make this travel quote come true is to go and see the world’s most stunning natural wonders, such as Niagara Falls , the Grand Canyon or Uluru in Australia .

For most people, going on vacation is something to look forward to.

Being in a different environment is a chance to relax and leave the daily grind behind, let go of stress and forget the routine.

No meetings.

No deadlines.

No annoying bosses.

There’s even a study that links happiness and geographical location, showing that people’s tweets get significantly more positive in mood the greater the distance they are from home.

So it appears, we’re least happy at work and most happy when we are farthest from home.

What is it about travel that makes it a happy thing?

Happiness is a concept that is not that easy to define. 

Travel makes it easy to become the kind person who embraces those daring adventures. 

This travel quote always makes me think of drifting over one of the world’s greatest wilderness regions, the  Maasai Mara , which is an uplifting feeling.

I visited at the start of the migration and floating low above thousands of wildebeests was exhilarating.

Everyone in the basket was happy, including the pilot, and the mood was infectious.

I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Anyone who has travelled to places where the customs and culture are different will tell you that travelling has a way of putting things into perspective.

Reading about living in an African village or watching a documentary about the landmarks in China doesn’t even come close to being there in person.

Visiting a place where poverty or pollution is everywhere has a way of putting first-world problems into perspective.

After visiting villages, getting to know the locals and seeing how happy the children are, it’s only gracious to be thankful for the life you have.  

Like the previous travel quote by Marcel Proust, often, when you change your environment, it resets your brain and allows you to see things differently through different eyes.

We’ve all met someone who fits the bill somewhere along the line during our travels and they’re often travelling because their partner or family member made them go.

Usually, these people who whine and complain are not trying to be difficult but are reacting to being way outside of their comfort zone.

If you keep this in mind, instead of avoiding them, take the time to help them see the world in a different light. 

You’ll be helping someone break out of their comfort zone as well as create good karma for yourself. 

My husband, Roger, used to travel to London for business every year but for years he avoided travelling to Paris because friends and colleagues had told him that Parisians were arrogant and rude. 

When he finally visited Paris, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not the case and soon fell in love with France . 

So, keep in mind that everyone has a different perception of each place and a wise traveller should never make up their mind about a place based on other people’s experiences. 

11- “The world is a book and those who d o not travel read only one page.” – Agustine of Hippo

The challenge of achieving something you set your mind to is uplifting, especially when it has to do with something in a different place.

Have you ever thought of helping to build an orphanage in Africa or Cambodia ?

There’s something deeply satisfying about giving and becoming passionate about making a difference in someone else’s life.

I never travel without my smartphone as there’s always something interesting to read on Facebook or the web!

Having these technology tools available makes it so easy to navigate your way around the world as an independent traveller. 

These days there’s an app for everything, including the weather, maps, news, transport timetables, accommodation bookings and what to see in each place you’re visiting.

So, there’s no excuse to stay at home.  

While this might have been true in the past, the wonderful thing about technology is it has paved the way for most of us to be able to afford to travel the world.

These days, with some smart planning and saving anyone can go travelling should they wish to. 

It’s too comfortable to sit on the couch watching travel programs on television, YouTube or social media. 

The best thing to do is to get out of that chair and experience the world.

Stop wishing.

Start doing. 

A good way to illustrate this famous travel quote is to think of the gorillas in Uganda that wander around the forest foraging for food.

I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to handle the gruelling trek and sometimes if you’re unlucky, you might have to trek all day to catch a glimpse of the gorillas.

Fortunately, our group was very lucky that day and we only had to trek for 90 minutes.

Even better, later in the day, the gorillas appeared at our camp and chose to spend the night next to my tent.

I often think back to that experience and I’m certain the gorillas knew exactly where they were going. 

I have a Fitbit and I wish mine had a compass, which would come in mighty handy as I have a terrible sense of direction and usually can’t tell which direction I’m travelling. 

Well, perhaps travel isn’t the only thing that will make you richer as that depends on how you define “rich”.

If you don’t plan well, travel can be costly financially but travel certainly offers you rich experiences that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

The state of mind to be in when travelling is to have an open mind towards people and places. 

It won’t take you long to realise that even though people may speak a different language, they might look different, dress differently but when you strip away all the material things we are all the same. 

By the way, the fairytale building above is in Inner Mongolia , which is part of China. 

Journey Quotes

Famous quotes about the journey.

The home of Happy Feet, Antarctica, is a place I often reflect on as memories of watching thousands of penguins never fail to put a smile on my face.

Another of my favourite journeys is around the Galapagos Islands. 

There are birds everywhere: trees full of red-footed boobies, tropicbirds, gulls and storm petrels, Nazca boobies sitting on eggs on the ground and chicks peering out from beneath under bushes.

On the Galapagos Islands, animals are everywhere you look.

Seeing a baby sea lion reunite with its mother sticks in my memory.

Travel is about transformation and growth and the journey is the best part of the entire experience.

While planning every minute of your day might be within your comfort zone, try going with the flow occasionally and you might be surprised at what happens.

Often, the experiences that usually stick in your mind are those unexpected, unplanned encounters and experiences. 

Years of juggling a successful career leaves you with little time for yourself.

Do you feel like you’ve been asleep or on autopilot for 10, 20 or 30 years? 

Sometimes, you might wonder if your life is what it should be. Are there forgotten dreams you would love to achieve?

Perhaps you wanted to be an archaeologist or explore jungles but just hadn’t got around to doing anything about it.

Get out there and create a miracle, give it go, turn on the lights and meet the challenge of those long-cherished travel dreams. 

Think about your last vacation and you might know what we mean when we talk about “coming back changed.”

We return from holidays feeling refreshed, recharged, rejuvenated and ready to face life again but there’s one thing that doesn’t seem to happen while travelling: coming back unchanged.

You never really come home the same person. There’s just too much new stuff going on inside you!

The journey is full of hope, and we seem to recall the places we visit through a different lens.

Some people travel in search of something elusive that they don’t know what they are looking for.

Visiting foreign lands might help you find the answers, but one day you might wake up and realise the answer is right there within you.

The best place to travel to is the place within yourself.

This saying was true for 17th-century Japanese poet of the Edo period who was from Osaka in Japan. 

This travel quote is even more relevant in the 21st century when the world has shrunk and many people choose not to have a fixed base.

As technology now allows us to work from anywhere, and many places have shared office facilities where you can rent a desk and internet access for a day, there’s a growing contingent of road warriors who enjoy travelling while working for themselves around the world.

Sometimes it’s necessary to put yourself out there, whether when travelling or in everyday life.

Sometimes it pays off big time. Other times it will lead nowhere at all. Either way, sometimes, you have to lose sight of the shore before you discover anything worthwhile.

It takes courage to be the best person you can be.

The Moors were great travellers who travelled far and wide across Europe.

The wisdom of this travel quote is a little prod to remind you of the value of travelling.

When you travel you get to meet other like-minded individuals. You feel special to be able to share stories with others.

These experiences add to our character and give us an insight into ourselves which helps us to be happy.

An eternal travel quote that not only relates to travel but to life. Lao Tzu was a philosopher in ancient China who believed that everything happens as part of a plan.

If you want to change your situation then you must first make changes to yourself. This means changing how you think, act and behave. Once these things start to shift then you can begin to create positive outcomes.

Marco Polo’s travels were romanticised throughout the centuries. Marco Polo was an explorer from Italy who travelled around Asia during the 13th century.

During his journeys, he wrote about many aspects of Asian culture including religion, politics, geography and history. However, some of his accounts were exaggerated due to him being under pressure from the Chinese government.

When he died he left behind a book called ‘Il Milione’. In this book, he described his adventures and gave details of his encounters with various cultures. Although most of his account has been proven false by historians, his descriptions still remain fascinating.

If you look beyond the challenges, all travel does indeed have a positive side.

Travelling allows people to see new places and experience new cultures. By doing so we learn more about ourselves and what makes us unique. We also gain knowledge on how to improve our own lives.

There are no limits of where you could go if you put your mind to it.

Jack Kerouac’s rather blunt travel quotes are words that will shake you out of the doldrums and get you out there exploring. Life is too far short to spend time feeling sorry for yourself or regretting decisions made in the past. Instead, take action now and live each day fully.

30- “Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey.”  

This relates to any journey, at home or abroad and indeed, life itself can be a journey on a road full of potholes. 

So stop struggling and enjoy the journey as the lessons we need to learn are revealed along the way.

Travel mimics life if you look for the lessons it throws you. As long as you keep looking backward, you’ll never know exactly what lies ahead. But don’t worry because every journey comes full circle eventually. So just enjoy the ride!

This travel quote gives the traveller a deeper purpose. You may not be in control of what life or your travels throw at you but how you react to them is completely your choice. Your actions determine whether you stay stuck in the same place or move onwards towards something better.

Anatole France was a French writer whose works include novels, plays, essays and poetry. This quote shows that travelling helps one reestablish harmony between man and nature.

33- “Arriving there is what you are destined for. Ithaka gave you the marvellous journey .” – C.P.Cavafy

Have you ever been undecided about where to go? Just trust yourself and let the destination choose you. Cavafy wrote these lines after visiting Ithaca which inspired him to write “Ode On A Nightingale”. He believed that destiny chooses who goes where they need to be.

Take this advice from famous writer and traveller Mark Twain’s popular travel quote. When you set sail into unknown waters you must expect some bumps along the way. However, by taking risks you might find an adventure worth living.

Whether you want to explore another country or simply leave behind bad memories, going somewhere else can help you feel like a different person.

Safe Journey Quotes

Quotes to wish someone a safe journey.

If you have no idea where you should head next then why not follow the wise caravan instead of wandering off on your own?

Travelling with others makes things easier to decide, especially when you share similar interests. It allows you to learn so much more about other cultures and people.

If you really want to make new friends then join a group tour. They usually offer great discounts so you won’t end up paying much for accommodation either.

Wise Travel Quotes

Beautiful travel quotes that impart wisdom.

Whenever someone asks me to name my favourite destination, I always say it’s the last place I’ve been.

That’s because I see the good in every place I visit but ask me where I would like to go next and I’d easily choose a place I’ve never visited before.

A new part of me awakes every time I arrive in a foreign destination.

Every place has a different feel and soaking up the vibe is an interesting experience for curious minds.

I love this travel quote by Booker prize winner Anita Desai as every experience contributes something, no matter how small, to your life story and this cannot be undone.

That’s until someone invents memory-erasing technology but even then I think your soul might still know what you’ve seen and where you’ve been.

Travellers are often looking for answers to questions such as: Why am I here? Where do we come from? How did we get here? Who is God? etc. These questions will lead us down paths of self-discovery. We all seek meaning in our lives and sometimes we search far away places to find it.

Anais Nin was born in Paris, France and she became known for her writing style. She travelled around Europe before settling in New York City.

This travel quote is one to contemplate while visiting remote places, such as the Australian Outback or the wilds of the Yukon or the vast white continent of Antarctica. 

Can you think of anywhere else?

Travelling to see new lands gives you an opportunity to experience what life has to offer but if you don’t know what you’re doing then you could easily miss out on important experiences.

Don’t forget to stop exploring every once in awhile because there’s nothing wrong with having a home base. Although it may seem boring at first, staying put can give you time to reflect upon everything that happened while you were gone.

Travel Inspirational Quotes

Travel quotes that inspire people to explore the world.

Travelling isn’t just fun but it can also teach you valuable lessons. Once you return back home, you’ll realise how wonderful your home is. No matter where you go, remember to always look forward and never regret anything. This quote about travel comes from Chinese author Lin Yutang.

A change is as good as a holiday and there’s nothing like travel to open your mind.

There is something special about travelling, whether you’ve been planning it since childhood or you started last week. You can step outside of yourself and experience new places and it helps you grow and become someone who you weren’t before.

There is power in leaving one world and entering another. It changes you forever. You start thinking differently and hopefully improve your outlook too.

Travel is full of ups and downs. Sometimes plans work out and other times they don’t. Travelling makes you appreciate your own country even more than when you’re not on the road.

When you travel, you meet amazing people along the way which leads to incredible friendships. Everyone needs some kind of adventure in their life. So why wait until later? Start living!

This is a travel quote I need to take heed of.  

After all these years of travelling, packing light is something I still find extremely difficult.

These days, airline baggage limits force you to pack wisely but it still takes me forever to decide what to take with me and what to leave behind.

Ultimately, I take a lot more than I need. 

The best way to pack light is to book a safari with a butler who will wash and iron your khakis every day. 

White-sand beaches, aquamarine water and swaying palms.

When I think of an island vacation, Fiji often pops into my mind.

What’s more, the Fijians are a happy lot.

Their laughter and smiles are genuine and filled with warmth.

This travel quote says that travelling allows us to learn about different cultures and customs as well as make friends. Plus, being active will keep you happier throughout the day.

People have many reasons for wanting to travel but only a few actually do so. If you plan ahead, then it won’t take long to pack up your bags and hit the road.

Travelling has a lot of benefits that we all know. Not only does it help our mental health, but it also teaches us a lot about ourselves.

By experiencing other countries, cultures and lifestyles, we gain knowledge and understanding about what’s important to us. It provides an opportunity to see things through fresh eyes and understand them better.

It’s like going into a whole new world with no boundaries.

When you’re away from home, everything seems bigger because there aren’t any distractions around. Everything becomes clearer and easier to grasp.

Your mind can focus completely on whatever task at hand without having to worry about anything else. This could lead to learning new skills, making new connections and discovering hidden talents.

No wonder travellers often say that they feel younger after visiting foreign lands.

There are many good reasons to visit another place or go abroad. One reason is that travelling helps us grow mentally. Seeing how other people live, eat and dress can teach us valuable lessons.

Another benefit is that it broadens our minds. Going somewhere new forces us to think differently and question our beliefs.

There may be times where we need to confront unpleasant truths, but if we face those challenges head-on, we’ll come out stronger and wiser.

One thing I love about travelling is seeing how others live in their own country.

When you walk down the street in your hometown, you don’t really notice much but when you step outside your comfort zone, you start noticing more details. For example, you might notice something unusual in the way someone walks or talks.

Maybe you even meet some interesting characters along the way. Travelling can change who you become over time.

I’ve travelled quite a bit from a young age. Some places have left me speechless while others made my heart skip a beat. Each experience has taught me something new about myself and opened up my mind to different ways of thinking. My travels helped shape who I am today.

Travelling teaches us to appreciate life for what it has to offer. Even though things may not always seem perfect back home, the beauty found in nature will never fade.

Whenever I’m feeling stressed or sad, all I have to do is take a trip somewhere far away. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a short vacation or an extended stay overseas, just looking at the world through fresh eyes makes everything look brighter again.

Jawaharlal Nehru was right: there is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.

When you first decide to move out of home, you might feel like you’ve lost part of yourself. However, after living on your own for several years, you realize that leaving home had actually given you room to grow into a better person.

Over time, you become comfortable with making decisions and learn to trust your instincts. These experiences are invaluable as they allow you to develop confidence in yourself and a chance to discover who you truly are.

Travelling helps people understand themselves better by giving them new perspectives on their lives. You’ll be surprised at how many times you’ll come across moments where you think “wow” when looking back at photos taken during your journey.

This happens because travelling forces you to let go of expectations and embrace the unknown. As you get older, this becomes easier and easier.

I don’t know why but whenever I travel abroad, I tend to become more introspective than usual. I start questioning my place in society and wonder how other countries live compared to ours.

While these questions make me uncomfortable, they also help me realize that every country has its unique culture and traditions which should be respected.

Life is short and 10 or 15 years can fly past in a flash.

You’ll never remember the mundane things you do each day but you’ll always remember your time in Paris or Bali or Thailand.

So climb that mountain, book that cruise and plan that driving vacation. Do it now!  

I don’t like having to be in touch every day while on the road but Wi-Fi makes it hard to vanish without a trace.

That’s one of the benefits of long-distance flights. Sitting in an aircraft for 14 hours has few advantages; however, one of them is you have an excuse not to answer your messages immediately.  

Funny Travel Quotes

This one is not a travel quote but a quote that travel writers will understand after returning from a trip, jet-lagged, to a pile of bills, unpaid invoices, rejection slips and deadlines.

Just make sure you’re not in the same spot on Earth next year!

Travel Quotes for lovers

These travel quotes will ignite wanderlust in couples.

Travelling as a couple pushes you to learn new things, to compromise and learn to be patient with one another.

Lots of couples who experience friction in the home find joy in travelling together. Perhaps that’s because:

Family Travel Quotes

Travelling with kids can be extremely rewarding for the whole family and an experience that will lay the foundation for your child’s future.  So, here are some family travel quotes to inspire you to book that next family travel adventure.

You may not realise that kids adapt to situations so much quicker than adults. 

We tend to worry about the weather or the food but kids are experts at taking whatever comes. 

We could all learn a lot from this. 

When you visit a place like Fiji, it can be a culture shock for the family as you will be stunned that the local children don’t have toys, iPods or computer games.

The best education for the kids is to holiday in countries where the children are not as fortunate, and computers and whiteboards are not the norm.

Take them to visit homes where families sleep on the floor.

There’s no better education for a young mind than to visit a foreign land and to learn about another culture.

Kids who travel at a young age learn to open their minds and travel provides a foundation for the best education.

Holidaying abroad will change your children as seeing families that have no furniture yet everyone was smiling will make them question why people at home don’t smile at you in the same way.

Travelling will broaden young minds and your kids will take an interest in other cultures and countries.

They will be more willing to try different types of food and learn about how other people live.

How about encouraging them to donate toys to other children who need them more? 

It will help them to be less selfish, a lot more compassionate and less self-centred.

Solo Travel Quotes

Travelling can mean being away from home for long periods and your family and friends may not be able to go with you.  

When you’re away and want to drop a line to the people you care about here are some “Miss You” quotes to write on your e-card or postcard.

Curiously, in French, you don’t say “I miss you”, you say “Tu me manques” which means “you are missing from me.”

It’s so nice to get a text from someone who is thinking of you but if those five simple words aren’t enough, here are a few “thinking of you” quotes that may come in handy during your travels. 

World Travel Quotes

There’s something about Paris that is eternally alluring, and I can understand why so many famous travel quotes are about Paris.

It might seem hard now, but once you go abroad, you’ll never look back. Travelling opens your eyes to how beautiful the world truly is. Seeing the beauty of nature and meeting new people will give you a sense of accomplishment.

The first night back in your own bed is always the sweetest, IMHO.

Travel is the Great Leveler

If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet.” ― Patrick Rothfuss

16 Travel Quotes to Make You Want to Pack Your Bags… NOW

We are on a mission today. We want you to pack your bags and go somewhere impromptu – today, tomorrow or this weekend. And to further this appeal, we have 16 travel quotes that will ensure you pack your bags and GO!

All the quotes are placed right on top of a GoUNESCO picture that truly signifies the meaning of the quote.

R.L.Stevenson sums up what the allure for travel really is…

1. �For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel�s sake. The great affair is to move.��

And Mark Twain further enhances the potential of what travel can do to you…

2. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness”

Pico Iyer rightly sums up the progression of individual travel…

3. �We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.�

With some advice from the Dalai Lama…

4. Once a year, go some place you have never been before – Dalai Lama

Further stressed upon and scared into by Jhumpa Lahiri…

5. �You are still young, free. Do yourself a favor. Before it’s too late, without thinking too much about it first, pack a pillow and a blanket and see as much of the world as you can. You will not regret it. One day it will be too late.�

Proust tells you how to implement what Twain said…

6. “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes”

And Toklein urges you to just keep going…

7. “Little by little, one travels far”

Some more experienced insights on why you MUST travel…

8. “Travel is the only thing that you buy that makes you richer”

With some of them telling you why travel is not just wandering…

9. “We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment”

Hemingway talks about the meaning of a journey…

10. �It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.�

The allure of a new place!

11. “Travel often. Getting lost will help you find yourself.”

Hans Christian Anderson puts words to describe the romance of travel…

12. �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.�

And Pico Iyer compares it to a love affair�itself!

13. “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.”

words to describe the appeal of the mountains…

14. “The mountains are calling. I must go.”

And the never ending charm of sunsets!

15. “Every one of the hundred thousand cities around the world has its own special sunset and it was going there, just once, if only to see the sun go down.”

And Mary Poppins just sums it all up…

15. “There is a whole world at your feet!”
