I have always been one to read quotes; I love inspirational sayings, poems, and any words that motivate me enough to do whatever it is I am setting out to do, like travelling! Here are a few of my favourites to inspire you to book that one way ticket and go explore the world!

“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 harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”

“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.”

“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, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.”

“No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.”

“One cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.”

“I am not the same, having seen the sunset on the other side of the world.”

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.”

“To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.”

“Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.”

“You don’t have to be rich to travel well.”

“Travel to where no man has gone before.”

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

“There is no happiness for him who does not travel… Living in the society of men, the best man becomes a sinner… Therefore wander! The fortune of him who is sitting sits; it rises when he rises; it sleeps when he sleeps; it moves when he moves. Therefore wander!”

“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.”

“Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.”

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

“Not all those who wander are lost.”

“It is not down in any map; true places never are.”

“I have wandered all my life, and I have also traveled; the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.”

“Investment in travel is an investment in yourself.”

“Remember you are over the edge of the wild now, and in for all sorts of fun wherever you go.”

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”

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

“May all your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view, where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you.”

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”

“Oh the places you’ll go.”
