Here are a few of my favorite travel quotes that inspire me to travel.

 

“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.” Pico Iyer

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

“Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life.” Michael Palin

“I don’t know where I am going, but I’m on my way.” Carl Sagan

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

“Once a year go somewhere you have never been before.” Dalai Lama

“Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.” Benjamin Disraeli

“I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.”  Mary Anne Radmacher

“Our happiest moments as tourists always seem to come when we stumble upon one thing while in pursuit of something else.” Lawrence Block

“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 while almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” Bill Bryson

“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” Scott Cameron

“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.” Anthony Bourdain

“I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list.” Susan Sontag

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