Whether you’re stuck at your desk daydreaming about that next getaway, or if you’re already on the road, there are travel quotes for every situation to soothe that wanderbug we all get hit with once in a while (or, always for some of us!). Traveling is whatever you make it to be, and can be so much more than just booking a plane ticket and packing your bags. It can be a journey of self-discovery and self-realisation, something that sometimes can touch us in the deepest depths of our soul. Whatever travel means to you, here are some of my favorite travel quotes that have inspired me to stay curious, and always wander.

If you enjoy these travel quotes, feel free to use them as your phone lock screen for that extra dose of inspiration every time you unlock your phone, or share them on Pinterest or Instagram !

I hope you get inspired to pack up and head out in the great big unknown, to discover what this beautiful planet has in store, and perhaps, even find yourself in the process.

My top travel tips & resources.

Here are my top travel tips and resources to help you save money and plan your trips effectively! If you're looking for more tips, head over to my travel tips resource page or my comprehensive guide on trip planning .

  • Booking Flights: When it comes to finding great flight deals, I always start my search on Google Flights or Skyscanner . To save some cash, consider flying mid-week or on the weekends, opt for carry-on only with budget airlines, and be open to red-eye or early morning flights. Check out my in-depth guide on how I find the cheapest flights .
  • Accommodations : I'm a stickler for finding the absolute best deals on my stays, so I will obsessively oscillate between a few booking sites: Booking . com (in general) and Agoda (for Asian destinations). When it comes to vacation rentals, there's Airbnb or VRBO .
  • Travel Insurance : It's always a wise decision to purchase travel insurance for international trips. I can't stress this enough - it's highly recommended! For international travel insurance, I suggest considering World Nomads or SafetyWing . SafetyWing , in particular, stands out as one of the few policies that cover Covid-19. They also offer excellent monthly policies that are perfect for digital nomads and long-term travelers!
  • Travel Credit Card : My go-to travel credit card for booking trips is the Wise travel card. I love that there are no foreign transaction fees, so I can pay like a local and never get any surprises at the end of my trip. You can also withdraw cash from the ATMs wherever you are. With  Wise , you are always guaranteed the best exchange rate, and I have saved  sooo  much money just by using this card. Most of the time, I get charged the exchange rate I see on Google, plus or minus a few cents.
  • Tours: Most times, I prefer traveling independently but sometimes, getting a guide and a local's perspective makes the experience all the more enriching. When it comes to tour bookings, I trust Viator and GetYourGuide to provide me with excellent options. In Asia, I choose Klook as they are the biggest provider in the region. Plus, you can often get entrance tickets and discounted prices!
  • Transportation : To navigate through public transit options and plan my journeys from one place to another, I rely on Rome2Rio. When it comes to rental cars, I compare rental companies and find the best deals through DiscoverCars .
  • Connection : It's essential to me to have seamless connectivity wherever I go. I need it to navigate to new places, Google what's around me, and keep in touch with my loved ones. But fumbling around with multiple SIMs has always been a nightmare, which is why I choose Airalo when I travel. No more switching SIMs, just purchase a plan on your phone, on the go, anywhere, and stay connected.
  • Luggage Storage : Whenever I need to check out early or take advantage of a long layover, I securely store my luggage with LuggageHero . It's a reliable service that allows me to roam around freely. As a bonus, you can use this link to enjoy your first hour of FREE luggage storage on me!
  • What to Pack : I always have packing anxiety once I've left home— you know the phantom feeling that you've forgotten something even though you've checked 372836 times . So I made my own packing list and use it religiously before every trip, and by religious I mean I tick off that list at least 7 times before I zip up my bag. Check out my in-depth packing list here.

22 Perfect Travel Quotes (with Images!)

05/01/2020 by Kristin Addis 2 Comments

It’s no surprise that I’m a believer in the  power  of solo travel.  Over seven years of exploring the world has made me appreciate the freedom of my own company, even in a place that is new to me.

Yet solo travel can be intimidating – especially at first. When I traveled to Bangkok by myself for the first time , I was nervous until the plane took off. But my other life-changing trips would not have happened if I never took that initial leap of faith.

The confidence to travel by yourself is more about your mind than it is about your abilities. Solo travel forces you to believe in your strength, and soon enough you’ll realize you can accomplish more than what you thought possible.

But if you still need that extra push to commit to your next adventure, take it from these 22 quotes that capture the joys of solo travel. Their words reflect the extraordinary experience of venturing into the unknown, alone:

1. “There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.” — C.S. Lewis

travel quote wallpaper

2. “Sometimes your only available transportation is a leap of faith.” — Margaret Shepard

travel quote wallpaper

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

travel quote wallpaper

4. “Great people do things before they’re ready. They do things before they know they can do it. Doing what you’re afraid of, getting out of your comfort zone, taking risks like that — that’s what life is. You might be really good.” — Amy Poehler

travel quote wallpaper

5. “Traveling—it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” —Ibn Battuta

travel quote wallpaper

6. “My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.” — Rumi

travel quote wallpaper

7. “People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.” —Paulo Coelho

travel quote wallpaper

8. “It seemed an advantage to be traveling alone. Our responses to the world are crucially moulded by the company we keep, for we temper our curiosity to fit in with the expectations of others…Being closely observed by a companion can also inhibit our observation of others; then, too, we may become caught up in adjusting ourselves to the companion’s questions and remarks, or feel the need to make ourselves seem more normal than is good for our curiosity.” —Alain de Botton

travel quote wallpaper

9. “It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in, and new lessons to learn, which is what life is all about.” —Oprah Winfrey

travel quote wallpaper

10. “You must go on adventures to find out where you belong.” — Sue Fitzmaurice

travel quote wallpaper

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

travel quote wallpaper

12. “I think one travels more usefully when they travel alone, because they reflect more.” —Thomas Jefferson

travel quote wallpaper

13. “Never did the world make a queen of a girl who hides in houses and dreams without traveling.” —Roman Payne

travel quote wallpaper

14. “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” —Roald Dahl

travel quote wallpaper

15. “For if every true love affair can feel like a journey to a foreign country, where you can’t quite speak the language, and you don’t know where you’re going, and you’re pulled ever deeper into the inviting darkness, every trip to a foreign country can be a love affair, where you’re left puzzling over who you are and whom you’ve fallen in love with.” —Pico Iyer

travel quote wallpaper

16. “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

travel quote wallpaper

17. “You have exactly one life in which to do everything you’ll ever do. Act accordingly.” —Colin Wright

travel quote wallpaper

18. “What good are wings without the courage to fly?” —Harper Lee

travel quote wallpaper

19. “To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world. You are surrounded by adventure.” —Freya Stark

travel quote wallpaper

20. “Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand – and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.” —Marie Beynon Ray

travel quote wallpaper

21. “As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.” —Virginia Woolf

travel quote wallpaper

22. “Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself.” —Walt Whitman

travel quote wallpaper

These quotes give you a sense of what solo travel is like, but it’s something you need to experience for yourself. It may seem scary at first, but discomfort means growth. It’s no wonder why more people have decided to venture by themselves over the years.

Traveling alone led me down an incredible path— one I never thought possible nine years ago . I hope these quotes motivate you to consider taking your next trip solo. Do you have a quote that inspires your inner solo traveler? Share your experiences and thoughts!

Famous Travel Quotes

Famous travellers and writers like Mark Twain, Anthony Bourdain and Alex Garland all have famous quotes about travel and adventure. They get used a lot in Instagram captions for travel but because they are classic travel quotes, so let’s start with them!

Travel is not a reward for working, it’s education for living. – Anthony Bourdain

If I’d learnt one thing from travelling, it was that the way to get things done was to go ahead and do them. Don’t talk about going to Borneo. Book a ticket, get a visa and it just happens. – Alex Garland

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

If happiness is the goal, and it should be. Then adventure should be a priority. – Richard Branson

If you’re 22, physically fit, hungry to learn. 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, eat and cook. Learn from them wherever you go. – Anthony Bourdain

For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven’t tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience, and if it hurts you, you know what? It’s probably worth it.   – Alex Garland

Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it breaks your heart. But that’s ok, the journey changes you, it should change you. It leaves marks on your heart and on your body. You take something with you and hopefully you leave something good behind. – Anthony Bourdain

If happiness is the goal, and it should be. Then adventure should be a priority. - Richard Branson travel quote

Short Travel Quotes

Short, sharp and simple travel quotes are very effective on Instagram when writing your caption for travelling. Some are travel meme quotes which often act as funny travel quotes, some are funny beach captions , and others are short travel quotes to keep people interested and inspired!

Not all those who wander are lost.

I’ve left my heart in so many places.

I followed my heart and it led me to the airport.

A ship in a harbour is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.

Life is short and the world is wide.

I’m in love with cities I’ve never been to and people I’ve never met.

Travel the world so you don’t get lost.

If you think travel is dangerous, try routine. It’s lethal.

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

You must go on adventures to find out where you truly belong.

Blessed are the curious for they shall always have adventures.

We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

No reason to stay is a good reason to go.

So much of who we are is where we have been.

I’m a travel addict on the road to recovery. Just kidding. I’m on the road to the airport.

Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.

This heart of mine was made to travel the world.

Follow your soul, it knows the way.

Only when I travel do I feel like I’m truly living.

To travel is to realise people are wrong about other countries.

I’m in love with cities I’ve never been to and people I’ve never met Travel Quote

Solo Travel Quotes

If you’re looking for travel alone quotes and inspiration to travel solo, these quotes will get you ready to book that solo trip and reduce your nerves.

Travelling alone will be the scariest, most liberating, life-changing experience of your life. Try it at least once.

As you travel solo, being totally responsible for yourself, it’s inevitable that you will discover how capable you are.

If you never go, you will never know.

I love the feeling of being anonymous in a city I’ve never been  before.

You never really travel alone, the world is full of friends waiting to get to know you.

If you are waiting for someone to travel with you, you may end up waiting a lifetime. Just go.

Travel far enough you meet yourself.

Wanderlust Quotes

Wanderlust means ‘a strong desire to travel’ so here are the top wanderlust quotes for Instagram that you can use in your captions!

Wanderlust isn’t about running away from it all. It’s about experiencing the outside to discover what’s inside.

I don’t know where I’m going but I promise it won’t be boring.

You can be in love with one thousand views and skylines and souls and minds at once. Don’t apologise for your burn, your passion, your enthusiasm. Enthusiasm propels the world.

Travel. As much as you can. As far as you can. As long as you can. Life’s not meant to be lived in one place.

Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times.

Sometimes the place that you’re used to is not the place you belong.

Travelling is to the mind, what love is to the heart and what education is to life. Truly enriching.

Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.

I travel because I’d rather look back at my life saying ‘I can’t believe I did that’ instead of ‘If only I had done that’.

You will never understand the true meaning of your life, until you travel and experience how others are living theirs.

Your comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there.

I’d rather have a passport full of stamps than a house full of stuff.

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

Travelling is not something you’re good at, it’s something you do, like breathing.

The best way to predict your future is to create it. Not from the known but the unknown.

You were born to do more than just go to work, pay bills and die. Go and see the world.

Travel Adventure Quotes

Travel is nothing short of an adventure, whether you’re road-tripping, backpacking or travelling for the first time. These road trip quotes and life adventure quotes will get you so excited about your upcoming trip and adventure quotes for Instagram captions like this also really inspire other people to travel too!

Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in an office or mowing the lawn. Climb that goddam mountain.

We must take adventures in order to know where we truly belong.

I would gladly live out of a backpack if it meant I could see the world.

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.

Fill your life with adventures, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.

Age is irrelevant. Ask me how many sunsets I’ve seen, hearts I’ve loved, trips I’ve taken, concerts I’ve been to. That’s how old I am.

A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.

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

Go, where no one has ever gone. Do, what others have never done. Live, like no one has ever lived.

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make it’s own people comfortable.

There is nothing like that feeling you get when you arrive at a place you’ve never been. It’s addictive. I think I could spend my whole life travelling towards that feeling.

The natural high from travelling to somewhere new has to be the most addictive substance on earth.

Because the greatest part of a road trip isn’t arriving at your destination. It’s all the wild stuff that happens along the way.

When you go on a road trip, the trip itself becomes part of the story.

If you don’t know where you’re going, any road can take you there.

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make it’s own people comfortable Travel Quote

Money Travel Quotes

If you’re currently saving money for travel, these travel quotes about money are great to put in your Instagram captions to help motivate you and others around you.

Travel while you’re young and able. Don’t worry about the money, just make it work. Experience is far more valuable than money will ever be.

Travel. It’s the only thing you buy that makes you richer.

Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul.

If travelling was free, you’d never see me again.

Travel. Because money returns. Time does not.

I would rather own a little and see the world than own the world and see little of it.

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy plane tickets, which is kind of the same thing.

Travel is an investment in yourself.

Travel is never a matter of money but of courage.

Travel. Because money returns. Time does not Travel Quote

Travel with Friends Quotes

Travel buddy quotes and best friend travel quotes are the best quotes to add into your caption for travelling with friends to get you all motivated to travel, or to reminisce on past travels that you’ve experienced together!

A good friend listens to your adventures. A best friend makes them with you.

It’s not about where you are, it’s about who you’re with. And then sometimes you’re blessed with the beauty of both.

A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles.

Friends that travel together, stay together.

Life was meant for great friends and great adventures.

You can pack for every occasion but a good friend will always be the best thing you could bring!

Everyone needs a friend who will call and say, ‘get dressed, we’re going on an adventure’!

It doesn’t matter where you’re going, it’s who you have beside you.

There are no strangers here, only friends you haven’t met yet.

Travel Girl Quotes

Female travel is empowering and although many girls travel we still need to encourage it more with these quotes for women travellers. I also find that these are some of the happy travel quotes and inspiring travel the world quotes!

Not all girls are made of sugar and spice. Some girls are made of adventure, brains, beer and no fear.

Be the girl who decided to go for it.

Never did the world make a queen out of a girl who hides in houses and dreams without travelling.

All she ever wanted was a lifetime of adventures.

Maybe some girls aren’t made to be tamed. Maybe they are meant to run wild until they find someone just as wild to run with.

Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.

Girls don’t wait for their prince anymore, they just pack and travel the world.

Love her but leave her wild.

Travel Love Quotes

These quotes about travel and love are perfect for Instagram photos of you and your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, or to declare just how much you love to travel!

Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures.

In life, it’s not where you go but who you go with.

As soon as I saw you, I knew you would be an adventure of a lifetime.

I want to see the world twice, once on my own and once with you.

Let’s travel together and get lost in beautiful places.

Date someone who is a home and an adventure all at once.

Oh darling, let’s be adventurers.

Coming Home Travel Quotes

Finally, we all feel emotional when our travels end (for now) and we have to go home so these are the perfect travel quotes for Instagram when you are sat at the airport or have just got back into your bed at home!

It’s a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realise what’s changed is you.

You will never be completely at home again because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That’s the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.

Travelling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go, this is my station’.

Once you have travelled, the voyage never ends. The mind can never break off from the journey.

Once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards. For there you have been and there you will long to return.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in life. Not to change it, just to feel a couple of things twice.

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

Once you have travelled, the voyage never ends. The mind can never break off from the journey Travel Quote
