95 most inspirational travel quotes ever penned

Our favourite inspirational travel quotes have encouraged us to travel with abandon over the years. Perhaps they will do the same for you…

For us, there is no such thing as luxury travel; travel is, by default, a luxury. It is a privilege provided by the country of our birth, a privilege that many are not as fortunate to enjoy.

Sometimes, we have to pinch ourselves at just how ridiculous our lives have become: an ex-teacher and jobbing writer travelling the world for a living. It is absurd, it is astonishing, it is luxury.

When I first went travelling at 21 years old, my father gave me this quote scrawled on a piece of card.

It infused me with wanderlust. It encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone, make the most of my time, see the world and enjoy the freedom that comes with being on the road. It remains one of the most inspirational travel quotes I’ve read (even if Twain did not actually say it).

Today, 20 years and almost 100 countries later, it’s still in my wallet. Despite its tattered and dishevelled appearance, it’s every bit as important to me now as it was then.

With that in mind, we’ve collated our most beloved inspirational travel quotes to encourage readers to “explore, dream and discover” for themselves.

• Mark Twain Travel Quotes

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.

To do something, say something, see something, before anybody else — these are the things that confer a pleasure compared with which other pleasures are tame and commonplace, other ecstasies cheap and trivial. Lifetimes of ecstasy crowded into a single moment.

It is the loveliest fleet of islands [ Hawaii ] that lies anchored in any ocean.

No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one [ Hawaii ], no other land could so longingly and so beseechingly haunt me, sleeping and waking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done. Other things leave me, but it abides; other things change, but it remains the same.   For me the balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun; the pulsing of its surfbeat is in my ear; I can see its garlanded crags, its leaping cascades, its plumy palms drowsing by the shore, its remote summits floating like islands above the cloud wrack; I can feel the spirit of its wildland solitudes, I can hear the splash of its brooks; in my nostrils still lives the breath of flowers that perished twenty years ago.

Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey. — Pat Conroy

No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name.

• Adventure Travel Quotes

Adventure is worthwhile in itself. — Amelia Earhart

If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it is lethal. — Paulo Coelho

Most of us abandoned the idea of a life full of adventure and travel sometime between puberty and our first job. Our dreams died under the dark weight of responsibility. Occasionally the old urge surfaces, and we label it with names that suggest psychological aberrations: the big chill, a midlife crisis. — Tim Cahill

Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter. — John Muir

Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. — Edward Abbey

Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put in process, a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless.   We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. Tour masters, schedules, reservations, brass-bound and inevitable, dash themselves to wreckage on the personality of the trip. Only when this is recognized can the blown-in-the glass bum relax and go along with it. Only then do the frustrations fall away. In this a journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it. — John Steinbeck

What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? – it’s the too-huge world vaulting us, and it’s good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies. — Jack Kerouac

A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for. — J.A. Shedd

It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any. — Hugh Laurie

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. — Mark Jenkins

The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. — Christopher McCandless

Adventure is allowing the unexpected to happen to you. Exploration is experiencing what you have not experienced before. How can there be any adventure, any exploration, if you let somebody else – above all, a travel bureau – arrange everything before-hand? — Richard Aldington

Be careful because Cambodia is the most dangerous place you will ever visit. You will fall in love with it, and eventually it will break your heart. — Joel Brinkley

• Solo Travel Quotes

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. — Unknown

I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can’t read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses. — Bill Bryson

The true fruit of travel is perhaps the feeling of being nearly everywhere at home. — Freya Stark

When you’ve managed to stumble directly into the heart of the unknown – either through the misdirection of others, or better yet, through your own creative ineptitude – there is no one there to hold your hand or tell you what to do. In those bad lost moments, in the times when we are advised not to panic, we own the unknown, and the world belongs to us. The child within has full reign. Few of us are ever so free. — Tim Cahill

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

He travels the fastest who travels alone. — Rudyard Kipling

Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection. — Lawrence Durrell

When the traveler goes alone he gets acquainted with himself. — Liberty Hyde Bailey

The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready. — Henry David Thoreau

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

Loving life is easy when you are abroad. Where no one knows you and you hold your life in your hands all alone, you are more master of yourself than at any other time. — Hannah Arendt

• Anthony Bourdain Travel Quotes

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.

Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks — on your body or on your heart — are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.

It’s an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu , for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about.   For a while after, you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you’ve been and what’s happened. In the end, you’re just happy you were there — with your eyes open — and lived to see it.

Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.

I’m a big believer in winging it. I’m a big believer that you’re never going to find the perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one. Letting the happy accident happen is what a lot of vacation itineraries miss, I think, and I’m always trying to push people to allow those things to happen rather than stick to some rigid itinerary.

Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonalds? … I know what I want. I want it all. I want to try everything once.

It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.   Maybe that’s enlightenment enough – to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.

I think food, culture, people and landscape are all absolutely inseparable.

Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.

Southeast Asia has a real grip on me. From the very first time I went there, it was a fulfillment of my childhood fantasies of the way travel should be.

I wanted adventures. I wanted to go up the Nung river to the heart of darkness in Cambodia . I wanted to ride out into a desert on camelback, sand and dunes in every direction, eat whole roasted lamb with my fingers. I wanted to kick snow off my boots in a Mafiya nightclub in Russia. I wanted to play with automatic weapons in Phnom Penh, recapture the past in a small oyster village in France, step into a seedy neon-lit pulqueria in rural Mexico. I wanted to run roadblocks in the middle of the night, blowing past angry militia with a handful of hurled Marlboro packs, experience fear, excitement, wonder.   I wanted kicks – the kind of melodramatic thrills and chills I’d yearned for since childhood, the kind of adventure I’d found as a little boy in the pages of my Tintin comic books. I wanted to see the world – and I wanted the world to be just like the movies.

At this point I think my body is like an old car. Another dent ain’t gonna make a whole lot of difference. At best it’s a reminder that you’re still alive and lucky as hell. Another tattoo, another thing you did, another place you’ve been.

Without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund.

If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.

Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.

1. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” ~ Saint Augustine

Let’s kick our list off with some of the more famous travel quotes by famous people. We’ll get to the more obscure as we go down the list.

This is definitely one of the best travel quotes of all time, but it certainly reads true. One of our favorite travel quotes is “The World is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

When you travel, the whole world opens up. Travel has helped us to understand the meaning of life and it has helped us become better people. Each time we travel, we see the world with new eyes. Just like reading a book, when you travel, you experience more than only one page of life. Make your life a novel, not a page.

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

This is one of our favorite travel quotes because it gets us. Throughout our lives, people have thought that because we keep traveling and searching for new things to do, we are not focused.

They have often thought we were flaky or unfocused. But travel helped us find our purpose and put focus into our lives. The more we got lost in our travels, the richer our lives became.

Seriously people, not all those who wander are lost. That’s a statement and a quote.

So when you think that the travelers in your life are flighty remember, “not all who wander are lost “

3. “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all” ~ Helen Keller

If Helen Keller can look at life as a great adventure, what excuse do the rest of us have? Take a chance and live life to the fullest. When we are at our most daring is when we feel the most fulfillment.

When we think of this travel quote, we live by it. Adventure is different for everyone, but we try to treat each day by doing something daring and adventurous, it keeps things exciting.

I wonder what she would think now knowing that she is quotes as having one of the most popular travel quotes in the world.

4. “Take only memories, leave only footprints” ~ Chief Seattle

Chief Seattle had many inspiring quotes, but this is probably the most famous of travel quotes, it is also a motto everyone should live by in life.

We need to give back to this world. People often feel they can take home a trophy, sneak a piece of stone from a historic site , or take something from nature.

Travel isn’t about taking, it is about absorbing the beauty of the world. So remember, sometimes only memories are all you need. They are your only private moments to enjoy. So try to take only memories.

5. “Travel is  fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.” ~ Mark Twain

Travel opens our minds and heart and makes us better people. One of our favorite travel quotes by Mark Twain.

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

When thinking about travel quotes, we often look to the most popular ones, but quote really make me think. Sure, we can set sail to different lands, but until you change your mind set, you’ll never really immerse in a voyage of discovery.

7. “Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” ~ Gustave Flaubert

Traveling quotes often mention the fact of how travel makes you humble and how life experiences are more important than accumulating things.

8. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do” ~ H. Jackson Brown Jr.

This doesn’t necessarily need to be related to travel quotes it can work for life quotes too. It can be scary to try something new, take a chance, and step out of your comfort zone. But when looking back on life, it’s the chances you didn’t take that you’ll regret.

9. Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.” ~ Hemmingway

As a travel couple, this is one of those travel quotes that is close to our hearts. We love traveling together and couldn’t imagine doing it alone.

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

This is one of those travel quotes that sum up a traveler perfectly. Over the years, our memories of our travels change and our stories become larger than life. Not only do we forget the bad and remember only the good, but the senses stick with us.

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

Before we started traveling in 2000, I only dreamed of writing for a living. But after our travels, I was so moved by many of our experiences I started writing stories to my friends and family.

When we first set off to begin our travel blog, a friend shared the works and travel quotes of Ibn Battuta with me it was through these early recommendations inspired me to become a storyteller.

No best travel quotes list would be complete without adventure quotes. Travel is an adventure and they go hand in hand. These are some of our favorite quotes about the adventure that we’ve collected over the years.

12. “If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, it’s lethal” ~ Paul Coelho

Travel quotes about adventure are our favorite because we are always pushing our boundaries and when we’re feeling a little afraid or lazy, we always think of this quote. Plus, I like this much better than his other quote: “Travel is never a matter of money, but of courage.”

13. “Great things never came from comfort zones.” ~ Anonymous

It’s true! Of all the travel quotes in this list, I really feel that it rings true to life. Even if you are not traveling, you need to step out of your comfort zone.

Be it taking on a new project, opening a business, or enrolling in a course. When you do something that scares you a little, you can do something great.

14. “If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” ~ Maya Angelou

When looking for travel quotes about adventure travel, this one really stuck out by Maya Angelou. It wasn’t until we started to live a life less ordinary that we understood how much control we had over our lives and just how amazing we could make it.

15. “Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey” ~ Babs Hoffman

This doesn’t only have to be one of those quotes on travel alone. Life itself has a lot of potholes. Whether you are traveling or at home working at your job, you should definitely enjoy the journey.

16. “Fear is only temporary. Regrets last forever.”

Are you wanting to travel the world but are afraid to take the next step? The travel quote above says it all. Fear is only temporary , but if you don’t follow your dream, you may regret it forever.

We are not saying to follow travel quotes like this blindly. Don’t put yourself in dangerous situations, but don’t let being afraid of the unknown consume you either.

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

This is one of my favorite travel quotes on adventure travel. It’s scary to step out of your comfort zone, but if you do so with proper training and guidance, a whole new life will begin!

18. “Travel doesn’t become adventure until you leave yourself behind”

Well to me this quote means you have to leave your burdens, your stress, and your preconceived notions behind. To understand travel, you must be open to new possibilities and it will change your life.

19. “Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you. ~ David McCullough

This is one of those quotes about travel that has never rung truer than in today’s society. Everyone is traveling to show off and brag or catch a selfie rather than to have an experience. But its the experience that you’ll remember, not the social share.

20. “Jobs fill your pocket but adventures fill your soul.” ~ Jamie Lyn Beatty

It’s true, we all have to do our job and have our careers. And that is important we need to make money to be able to live. But it is also important to take time to smell the roses and let go of work when you are not in the office.

We have always looked at our lives this way, jobs fill your pocket so that you can spend your down time having a great adventure. Be it travel or at home, life begins outside the office.

I love funny travel quotes. Sometimes when we get stressed out or frustrated with travel, we need to sit back and laugh about the little things.

21. “Don’t worry about the world ending today, it’s already tomorrow in Australia.” ~ Charles M. Schulz

We all have worries every day and more than ever the state of the world is in question. But travel makes you forget your troubles and Charles Schulz couldn’t have said it better. It’s the funniest of travel quotes.

22. “I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate people than to travel with them.” ~ Mark Twain

We have always given the advice that if you want to test to see if you are compatible in your relationship, go and travel together for a while.

Mark Twain could not be more correct. If you can travel with someone you’ll be friends for life! So put these travel quotes to the test and travel with someone right now!

23.  “A Journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you can control it. ” ~ John Steinbeck

When traveling, things are often out of our control and we have found that it is better to relax and let go. And that is true for our marriage as well. We can’t always be in control and that is half the fun!

24. “Drink Heavily with locals whenever possible.” ~ Anthony Bourdain

This is a rather funny travel quote by Anthony Bourdain, but it is also very true. Some of our best travel experiences have been when having a few drinks with the locals.

So when we are out late at night, we look to these types of travel quotes for justification. hah!

25. “I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places” ~ Henny Youngman

This quote reminds me of my dad. He’s always telling silly jokes like this and I love it!

26. “There is nothing safer than flying, it’s the crashing that’s dangerous.” ~ Theo Cowa

For those of you who are afraid to fly, I am afraid that you are not going to find the humor in this travel quote, but I find it quite cheeky.

27. “I always like to go to Washington D.C. It gives me a chance to visit my money.” ~ Bob Hope

This one made me chuckle because we were just in Ottawa (Canada’s National Capital) and we made a point of saying “ Now we know where our taxes go, look at all the beautiful museums and buildings in this city! ”

And even though Bob Hope was talking about his home country of the USA, it certainly rings true anywhere. So, we put it in our best travel quotes list, because everyone can relate!

28. “Jet Lag is for Amateurs.” ~ Dick Clark

While I think it’s a funny travel quote, I tend to disagree with Dick Clark. It seems that the more I travel, the worse jet lag gets. But then I suck it up and think of him and then I say “Deal with it Deb, Jet Lag is for amateurs.” See, travel quotes can be motivating!

29. “Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.” ~ Paul Theroux

I love this travel quote so much because it is very true. When we come home from our travels, we always forget the tough times and difficult experiences.

We only remember the beautiful things about our travels and the bad stuff fades away. But let me tell you, we’ve had some very unglamorous travels in our lives.

30. “I wish I had never gone traveling.” Said no one ever.

I don’t know who said this travel quote, but it is straightforward and to the point. If you are looking for travel quotes that capture the feeling of travel, this is it!

Inspirational Quotes About Travel

Inspirational travel quotes can be life-changing. I used to have quotes taped all over my house and now that we have moved into a house again, I’m collecting inspiring quotes about life and adventure. Words have meaning and can change mindsets.

31. “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” ~Andre Gide

I am going to update this quote though and say Woman and Man Cannot discover new oceans until they lose sight of the shore.

When Dave and I first started our careers in travel, we kept one toe in our careers and one toe in travel. It wasn’t until we finally let go of our safe life in the film industry and took a chance to go all into our new adventure travel careers that everything changed.

32. “It’s Better to Travel Well than to Arrive” ~ Buddha

33. “it is not the destination where you end up but the mishaps and memories you create along the way.” ~ penelope riley.

We all make mistakes in life and travel. Travel quotes can be relatable in life as well. And it really is the mishaps and adventures you have along the road of life and travel that make for everlasting memories.

34. “The important thing is to never stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing” ~ Albert Einstein

35. “travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”.

Okay so maybe it isn’t exactly the truest of travel quotes because if you buy a house, it may grow in value and if you buy stocks, you may get lucky and hit the jackpot, but you can never go wrong with travel.

But travel brings riches in life with experiences, learning, and making new friends.

36. “I would rather own a little and see the world than own the world and see a little of it.” ~ Alexander Sattler

Quotes about traveling often have a message of being free from possessions and things, and instead of having life experiences instead. It think this travel quote says it the best.

37.  “It is better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.”

When we saw the Taj Mahal for the first time, we had heard about it many times. We had read about it and people had told us all about it. But it wasn’t until we saw it that we really understand its beauty and meaning.

38. Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow

We agree with this travel quote indeed. Travel changes a person and it is because of the people you meet and the experiences you have. It is true that you take a piece of a place home with you.

39. “When was the last time you did something for the first time.” ~ Anonymous

We have found that travel gives us the courage to try new things. When we are home in our routine, we become comfortable. But when we travel, we are inspired by others and inspired by the destination.

40. “Someday I’m going to be free and I’m going to travel the world.”

Before we started traveling full time we felt trapped. When we started putting our minds to living a life of travel, we felt the barriers break and soon we were living our dream. This quote is very close to our hearts.

41. “You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us and the world will be as one.” ~ John Lennon

Travel brings people together. It helps people understand other cultures and religions. What we think we know about other places is thrown out the window, once we land on their soil.

So get out there, meet other people and you’ll soon see that people around the world are just like you and me.

Short Travel Quotes Captions

Dave and I have been gathering quotes about travel for 20 years and shared them since we started our travel blog in 2008. They have always helped to pick us up when we’re down, put life in perspective, or just brought a smile to our faces.

These are our favorite traveling quotes we’ve posted on social media from Twitter to Pinterest .

42. “Live with no excuses and travel with no regrets” ~ Oscar Wilde

For life and travel, we all must follow our path without making excuses and we should never live with regrets.

43. “We travel not to escape life but for life not to escape us.”

Many people think traveling quotes are all about people escaping and dreaming. But to us, this quote captures exactly the essence of travel. We never traveled to escape life, we always traveled to find ourselves.

44. “People don’t take trips, trips take people.” ~ John Steinbeck

We all take trips, but most of the time the trip ends up taking a life of its own.

45. “Don’t listen to what they say, go see” ~ Chinese Proverb

Perhaps people tell you not to go to a place because they think it is awful when it is really beautiful. Or perhaps someone constantly tells you how wonderful a destination is.

Go and see for yourself and make up your own mind. That’s what this says to me.

46. “Don’t Quit Your Day Dream”

One of my favorite quotes about wanderlust. One of the things Dave and I are most thankful for is the fact that we never stopped dreaming.

If we settled (like we were supposed to in life) we’d still be working at our jobs thinking we weren’t allowed to have dreams once we reached a certain age. Never stop dreaming.

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

Isn’t this just the dream? I love it when I take a trip and clearly do not have a plan. That is when the real adventures happened in our travels.

48. “Oh, the places you’ll go.” ~ Dr Seuss

It’s a short one, but oh it’s a good one. Whenever we meet someone that is starting to travel or is thinking of traveling, we always think of this quote by Dr. Suess.

These words make us think of adventure. Oh the Places You’ll Go! Doesn’t this make you excited to get out and explore thw world?

49. “Try to Be a Rainbow in Someone Else’s Cloud” ~ Maya Angelou

50. “life’s a journey, not a destination” ~aerosmith.

Okay so maybe Ralph Waldo Emerson deserves the credit for Life is a journey, not a destination, but we heard it first through Aerosmith, so I’m giving it to Aerosmith. Because I couldn’t find the proof anyway.

I’ll never forget being in Vietnam in 2003 and while sitting in a bar, they encouraged travelers to write their favorite quotes on its wall.

What did Dave choose? Life’s a journey, not a destination naturally. We have always lived by this motto and of course adventure is for everyone.

51. “Where to next?”

“Where will you travel next? How will travel change you and how will you change the world?”

52. “To Travel is to Live” ~ Hans Christian Anderson

Why does this travel quote resonate so much with us? Before we traveled, we felt that we never truly lived. The more we worked, the more exhausted and disconnected we felt. When we introduced travel into our lives, we felt alive again.

53. “I want to make memories all over the world”

To us, memories mean more than things. When we are out with friends, we have so much to talk about. It’s way more meaningful to have a memory to share than to show off a “thing.”

Meaningful Quotes About Travel

54. “whenever you find yourself on the side of majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.” ~ mark twain.

Mark Twain is one of the greats when it comes to creating famous quotes about travel. We have always tried to live a life less ordinary and think outside the box. I do believe this has helped us have success in our business and our relationship.

55. “The world is changed by your example, not your opinion.” ~ Paul Coelho

I think in today’s society this travel quote couldn’t be truer. Many people are quick to attack others through social media and everyone has an opinion.

But what about “being the change?” Positive leadership can be powerful.

56. “To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” ~ Aldous Huxley

We often have preconceived notions of what other countries are like. But once we visit a destination, we realize that we have it all wrong.

Travel helps us to understand and learn about different cultures and ways of life. We always encourage people to visit other countries to understand the people and cultures around the world.

It’s impossible to truly understand a place until you have met the people, and immersed in the culture.

57. “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi

Travel often opens our eyes to different ways of thinking and understanding the world. We as travel bloggers love to preach what we have learned to the world, but we also need to live by example.

58. “There’s a sunrise and sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.”

59. “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

I’ll never forget saying to Dave “I need meaning to my travels” when we first started traveling. It was by creating this blog, creating our videos, and creating our purpose to share our experience that I finally created myself.

60. “If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to it.” ~ Johnathan Winters

This is certainly one of the best motivational quotes that have to do with travel.

I often hear people complaining that they can never catch a break. But you know what? You can’t wait for things to happen, you have to make them happen.

61. “Without new experiences, something inside us sleeps. The sleeper must awaken.”

Travel can awaken the giant within. It did for us!

62. “Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.” ~ Rick Watson

Don’t get lost in the crowd. Be an individual. Think big and be brave. Stand out and live life to the fullest.

63. “Doing what you like is freedom, liking what you do is happiness.”

All my life, I worked hard and dreamed of what I might do one day when I retire. Once I learned that doing what you love is happiness. We don’t have to dream about what might be one day.

64. “Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing.”

Do you ever just stop and take a breath and look around? I am amazed at the little things. Too many of us wait until we are abroad to appreciate life and nature. Get out there now and start living today. From home!

65. “This heart of mine was made to travel this world”

Dave and I feel that our hearts were truly made to travel the world. Even when we worked in the film industry, we were always planning our next trip.

66. “The Impulse to Travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life”

It’s true. Whenever we have an upcoming trip, we always feel hopeful.

67. “Let’s find some beautiful place to get lost”

Do you get lost when you travel? Or are you a planner? Here, the anonymous traveler quotes an idea to go with the flow, just the way we like it.

68. “I’m in love with cities I’ve never been to and people I’ve never met.” ~ John Green

69. “Travel…the best way to be lost and found at the same time.” ~ Brenna Smith

71. “The journey is my home.”

Dave and I were on the road for seven solid years. We didn’t have a home. People often said to us that they couldn’t imagine not having a home base, but we felt at home on the road. We actually felt more at home on the road than at home.

Unique Travel Quotes

Not all of the best travel quotes are famous. We have dug deep down the rabbit hole of quotes to find some of the more unique quotes about travel out there. Enjoy!

71. “It’s a big world out there, it would be a shame not to experience it.”

We got this traveling quote from our friend JD of EarthXplorer. Well said JD! There is no better piece of advice. I wish my niece and nephews listened to me when I told them this.

72. “You can shake the sand from your shoes, but not from your soul.”

Whenever I read this quotation on travel, I always think of the singer Dido. Do you know that song ? “I’ve still got sand in my shoes and I can’t shake the thought of you.” When traveling to islands and beaches , this one always pops into my mind.

73. “Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and think of what could go right.” ~ Anonymous

Over the years we have had many people ask us, “how did we have the courage to do what we do.” Truthfully, we never thought too much about what could go wrong.

When we knew we wanted to cycle Africa or climb a mountain, we didn’t focus on what could go wrong, instead, we focused on the excitement and challenges ahead. So we recommend using this travel quote to help you overcome the “what ifs in life.”

74. “We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.” ~ Hilaire Belloc

When we first started traveling, people thought we were running away from things. But in truth, we were finding ourselves and we ran right toward our purpose in life. We have never felt so fulfilled as when we do when we’re traveling.

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

We love traveling together and this is our favorite of all couple travel quotes. While we admire solo travelers we are so grateful to having someone to share special moments together.

76. “Traveling is not something you’re good at. It’s something you do, like breathing.” ~ Gayle Foreman

People often say to us “Oh, you must be such great travelers!” and we say, It’s not about being good at something, it is about enjoying what you do. If you enjoyed your travels and if you have a good time, you did a good job!

77. “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien

As we get older, we have developed a deeper appreciation of the time we have on earth. After spending many years doing something we did NOT love, we realized that time goes by quickly and we have to make the most of our time.

Now that we have a passion for our careers and adventures, we understand even more how true this quote is.

78. “It feels good to be lost in the right direction.”

Dave and I often get lost when traveling and it is usually the times that we take a wrong turn that we have our greatest adventures.

Getting lost is part of the fun of travel, so don’t over plan too much when planning your travels.

79. “Traveling allows you to become so many different versions of yourself.”

When we started traveling we discovered so many new things about ourselves and each other.

By stepping out of our comfort zone and trying new things, travel helped us become better people and this quote is definitely true for us.

80. “Travel has a way of stretching the mind.” ~ Ralph Crawshaw

Travel expands the mind and without having to study or read books or take a course. We learn and grow without even trying when we travel.

81. “Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.” ~ Anotole France

Wow, this is certainly one of those deep travel quotes. But it is true! Humans are connected to the universe, when we get out and really travel, we feel that connection stronger.

82. “All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.”

How many times have you gone traveling and thought that you have it all planned out? But it’s the surprises and secret destinations along the way that really stick with you for the rest of your life.

83. “A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles.” ~ Tim Cayhill

People really do make the journey. We may only meet someone for a fleeting moment, but they often stay in our memories forever.

84. “Just Go. Go See all the Beauty in the World”

Each day we are grateful that we get to live in this beautiful world.

Not only is the earth’s scenery awe-inspiring, but there is a beauty in the people, culture, and wildlife that we have experienced.

I love hearing travel quotes from my favorite celebrities and people in history. Check these ones out and see what you think.

85. “I travel not to go anywhere but to go. I travel for travel’s sake.” ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

We just love to travel. It doesn’t matter where. No matter where we go, we always learn something new.

86. “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

87. “because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in an office or mowing your lawn. climb that damn mountain.” ~ jack kerouak.

We have our tasks and chores to do each day, but it is the unique challenges that come with an adventure that we will remember at the end of our lives. I want to be able to say “I climbed the mountain and I lived well.”

88. Paris is Always a Good Idea ~ Audrey Hepburn

89. You go away for a long time and return a different person – you never come all the way back ~ Paul Theroux

90. “you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” ~ mae west.

Ah, Mae West. I can just hear her saying this quote in that fabulous accent. I am sure she wasn’t talking about travel, but we can make anything related to travel quotes.

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

Robert Frost said it best, if you take the road less traveled in life, you will probably see success. And when it comes to travel, you can find something amazing if you go off the beaten path.

92. “We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel next, to find ourselves.” ~ Pico Iyer

96. “There is no moment of delight in any pilgrimage like the beginning of it” ~ Charles Dudley Warner

My favorite part of traveling is the anticipation. This captures that perfectly.

97.  “The most beautiful in the world is, of course, the world itself.” – Wallace Stevens

98. “keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.” ~ walt whitman.

I have found that travel has helped me become an optimist. The more experiences I have, the more positive my life becomes.

99. “Try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud” ~ Maya Angelou

100. “perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” ~ maya angelou, 101. “the biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams” ~ oprah winfrey.

It was Oprah Winfrey that got us hooked on inspiring quotes so how could we not finish off our best travel quotes list with words of wisdom by the Grand Dame of Show Biz, inspiration, and philanthropy? And it is definitely a great way to end.

Bonus Travel Quotes

And we leave you with not the most inspirational travel quote, but this one is practical for travel.

“When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money”  – Susan Heller .

Not truer words have been said about packing. The best way to travel is to travel light. You can always buy something if you forgot it or need it, but seriously, chances are you probably won’t.

You’ll be surprised just how few clothes and accessories you’ll need to travel. So when packing for your next trip remember… When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.

Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. ~ Sir Richard Burton

It’s getting more difficult to find unknown lands as the world shrinks in the age of Instagram and TikTok. But it is still possible so, start searching for those unknown lands today.

And I think to myself, what a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong

And we leave you with the wise words of Louis Armstrong. Seriously, do you ever just think to yourself, what a wonderful world? We do.

When we took our first travels in 2000, we felt a huge change in ourselves. Our lives were never the same. We never came all the way back, we have left a piece of ourselves around the world and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

145 thoughts on “101 Best Travel Quotes in the World with Pictures”

Travel far, travel wide, and let your soul be your guide.”

Fantastic collection of travel quotes! Every single word goes well with the picture they’re pasted over. It is tough to say which one is the best travel quote.

Hi Dave and Deb,

I absolutely loved your article about the ultimate travel quotes! As someone who is always on the lookout for inspiration to travel, reading through these quotes made me feel excited and motivated to plan my next adventure. I especially loved the quote by Ibn Battuta that says “Traveling—it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” It perfectly captures the transformative power of travel and how it can change us in so many positive ways.

Overall, your article was beautifully written and showcased a diverse range of travel quotes that were both inspiring and thought-provoking.

Thanks for a ‘Wonderful article’, so many reasons given to ‘make smiling a habit’!

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”. Can add this too 🙂

It was nice to go through your post. Thanks for sharing the beautiful quotes here. Keep up the good work. https://www.cakesandbakes.in/stories/category/customized-cakes/

It would be great if the pandemic ended soon so I could travel again for adventures. Thank you for sharing your quotes.

Your quotes is one of the best quotes that i have seen. specially number 90 which is “you only live once,but if you do it right ,once is enough” is best. Thanks to you for sharing such a nice things.

Great! Thanks for sharing really

Hi, Dave and Deb really I appreciate your creativity. Fantastic writing. Thanks

My favourite: You travel to see things and visit places – but what you remember when you come back home is the people you met…..

Who said so?

Great Words

I was looking for the best quotes for travelling and after getting your blog, I read some quotes. Really i like these all quotes. It will be helpful to me for write Instagram caption. Good job and keep sharing!

Wonderful collection

I was hoping the pandemic will end up so I can free travel again for adventure. Thanks a lot for sharing your collection qoutes.

Thanks for the travel quotes. I’m going to save some and print them out. My favorite is like a lot of people here. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. This year has proven that. We can’t sit around all day and be happy. Let’s make it an adventure.

My choices for the best travel quotes are: Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all Travel makes one modest you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page

Great travel quotes, although I don’t get this one… The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Does travel give you new eyes or do you have to have your eyes open before traveling? Hmm, things to think about.

These really are inspirational travel quotes. I love this one by Anthony Bourdain. “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”

These are the best travel quotes I’ve seen! What a list! And thank you for the pictures. This phrase “Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” Really puts it all into perspective. When you travel (really travel, not as a tourist) you understand that you are not the center of the universe. And I agree travel really does make you richer. Thanks

Wow! What a list of inspirational travel quotes. I’m going to print these off to get motivated and start saving for travels. Here’s to traveling the world! My favourites are Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore But I agree with you, it should be “people”

Thanks for the inspiration with these travel quotes. I am looking forward to traveling again!

Amazing list of travel quotes!! Truly inspiring. Keep up the great work!!

Those are amazing travel quotes, thanks for sharing! My favourite is “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before” by the Dalai Lama. May I share your picture of it on my social media? Of course, I’d mention that it belongs to you. Thanks and have a great day?

These are beautiful words to live by. Experience life and adventure.

Loved it: “KEEP YOUR FACE ALWAYS TOWARD THE SUNSHINE – AND SHADOWS WILL FALL BEHIND YOU.”

Congrats on the article and keep it updated! Love the one of: “Travel…the best way to be lost and found at the same time.” Travel is a mix of feeling with sometimes the fear of get lose but feeling free at the same time.

I love seeing the combinations of quotes matched with photos. I really should do this with a lot of our travel photos so I have something to look at and continually motivate me to keep adventuring and taking the path less followed.

Thanks! We actually had these travel quotes in a vault for years before finally posting them into one article. We used to share daily travel quotes on Instagram and Twitter and then a few years ago we decided that one comprehensive post would be a better idea. So we rounded them up and put them in. Quotes really are great motivators.

Yup, I agree, these quotes are nothing but brilliant.

Love it. Would save a few on my notebook, so that it can be a source of inspiration for me when I am actually traveling and need some inspirational juice.

Love this blog, may come back later to read other parts 🙂

Thanks so much for the kind words. I love having quotes handy for inspiration. Especially in these trying times. I used to keep sticky notes posted around the house for motivation. I think I’m going to have to do that again now that we are home more often (at least for a bit:)

This is another awesome post with loads of inspiring travel quotes. Thanks. 🙂

I love this! I assume that is “world to see?’. It’s another fantastic short travel quote that is completely to the point. Thanks for sharing.

wow!! It’s was quite overwhelming to read all these travel quotes. some of them which got stuck to my mind are- i) “THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD IS, OF COURSE, THE WORLD ITSELF.” – WALLACE STEVENS ii)“TRAVELING ALLOWS YOU TO BECOME SO MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF YOURSELF.” iii)“I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE AIN’T NO SURER WAY TO FIND OUT WHETHER YOU LIKE PEOPLE OR HATE THEM THAN TO TRAVEL WITH THEM.” ~ MARK TWAIN iv) “TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW YOU WILL BE MORE DISAPPOINTED BY THE THINGS YOU DIDN’T DO THAN BY THE ONES YOU DID DO” ~ H. JACKSON BROWN JR

Those are fantastic! My favourite is “I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE AIN’T NO SURER WAY TO FIND OUT WHETHER YOU LIKE PEOPLE OR HATE THEM THAN TO TRAVEL WITH THEM.” ~ MARK TWAIN” We have found this out first hand in our travels and there is no truer travel quote 😀

Didn’t see this one above but it’s one of my favorites and from a very well traveled Nat Geo photographer:

“Ibn Battuta never dwells on what drove him on.

Curiosity? Perhaps . . . More likely it was a quest for knowledge.

One never seduced by a foreign culture cannot appreciate the fetters of his own. Life, after all, is a journey – a voyage of discovery.

Why not take the high road?”

Thomas Abercrombie, National Geographic

Thanks for sharing, that’s a great message. I love finding new words of wisdom.

travel makes your mind opened wider than before dudes. so, let’s go to explore

Is that your own quote? I love it. It’s perfect, straightforward and bang on. Thanks for sharing.

My favourite quote isn’t above. “The Journey Is the Destination” Sorry, I don’t know the source. Jules (46 countries and still counting.)

Congratulations on the wonderful travels Jules! I love that quote too. I remember Aerosmith sang “Life’s a journey not a destination” and that always stuck with me as well. It is a very wise phrase.

“Best” is always subjective and yes there are many other great takes on quotes that can inspire one to travel or speak to why the idea of travel is so powerful and life-changing.

Below, we’re going to be listing the best travel quotes with the associated person that wrote or said them. We’ve created pin-able images for many of the quotes for you to use and share.

For organization, wanderlust inspired quotes are broken down into high level categories. Some may belong to multiple but I tried my best to segment them into appropriate buckets.

We’ve also dropped a few nuggets of wisdom and color commentary for a few that we really love.

As we mentioned, the selection of the “best” quotes is subjective. Every quote speaks to every individual differently because of where you are in your life, the experiences you’ve had, your mind space, where you want to be, and your aspirations.

These are the best in our eyes because they aren’t deep in meaning and haven’t been overused to death.

1. “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Passed on from generation to generation is the idea that we need to fit in our own box and follow the norms set for us. It can be societal, cultural, or anything. We’ve found joy in our lives not following that conventional path.

Starting Going Awesome Places and turning it into a full time job sounded crazy (still kind of is) but we carved our own way through it. Sure there are parallel paths but I’d like to think we’ve blazed our own trail.

2. “We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.” – Katie Thurmes

I’ll be the first to admit that we take way too many photos when we travel but when we go back and look at the own albums (whether on our phones or photobooks we print), it really is a wonderful portal back in time to moments and time gone but not forgotten.

3. “This wasn’t a strange place; it was a new one.” – Paulo Coelho

Now that’s the incredible thing about travel. If you open your mind and your heart, anywhere new is a wonderful adventure of discovery and not strange of weird.

Take the incredible journey I had in our 9 day Ethiopia itinerary . Sure it was uncomfortable and challenging but I embraced it all.

4. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – Lao Tzu

You can make your dreams come true with a simple step. It might be the hardest step that you’ve ever had to take because you don’t know where the journey will take you but all it takes are the first baby steps.

Sometimes it can be literal when you take that step off the plane when we went skydiving in New Zealand .

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

Where we grow up in many ways define who we are and what we know. Like it or not, places like our favorite restaurants in North York , the Oxford County Cheese Trail , or local walks in the parks in Richmond Hill , are a core part of who you are.

It’s our own little bubble and when we are able to bust out of it to see what the world is like, it will challenge you to open your eyes, mind, and be a better person. In Mary’s words, you will never be the same again.

6. “Wanderlust: a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world”

We cheated a little here but we sometimes throw around the word wanderlust but what does it actually mean? With this fun travel quote, now you know!

Now who has that impulse to explore the world?

7. “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” – Andre Gide

My mind immediately went to the new worlds we’ve seen while going to the best places to scuba diving in the world but this is one of the best quotes about travel because it encourages us to leave the comforts of home to make new discoveries.

You can take this from the perspective of us being land mammals or the fact that we naturally want to be close to the things that we feel at home with. Whether small or large, you won’t learn something new until you put yourself out there and venture to places unknown.

And no, it’s not just “man” but all the wonderful people of this earth!

8. “Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul.” – Jamie Lyn Beatty

This is one of the best travel quotes because it is SO TRUE .

The experiences you gather while travelling are honestly worth more than all the money you can make.

9. “There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.” – Jo Walton

As a photographer, my favourite moments are during sunrise and sunset. Every time we compile a list of the best photography spots like this one in Prague , there’s at least one sunrise or sunset included.

There’s a calmness, stillness, and serenity to the start and end of the day and yes, they’re totally free.

10. “A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you can control it. ” – John Steinbeck

As a married couple, there’s a deep honesty to this travel quote. As a couple, travel will test your relationship to the max and we always say that even more -so than moving in is to go on a trip together to see if you have partner in life.

In John Steinbeck ‘s travel quote, he talks about how you have to let travel flow the way it wants to go. You can try to bend it, mold it, and control it but you have to let it take you

Some of the best wanderlust sayings are by accomplished writers. They’re incredibly deep, thoughtful, and literary.

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

This is one of the most well-known wanderlust quotes that speaks to how the journey is more important than the destination. Many of us travel without that end point in mind and that’s totally okay!

12. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.” – Mark Twain

Travel is the greatest teacher of them all. It’s something that has truly opened my mind and is something that more of us need. I’d like to think that we don’t travel for travel’s sake but we do it with purpose – to open our minds, break barriers, and gain broader understanding of the world.

13. “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustave Flaubert

The more you travel the more you realize that what you know and take for granted is but just a tiny bubble on this great earth. While I don’t know if I’ll ever see it all but to travel is to expand your horizons.

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

Everything you encounter – people, food, culture, fortunes, and mishaps stay with you forever and you become better for it.

15. “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” – Helen Keller

I’ve been feeling a little empty ever since COVID-19 and our lockdown existence. It’s truly made me realize how important it is my life.

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

Bucket-lists are such a topic of contention these days but I say there’s nothing wrong about dreaming and building your list of places you want to go, what you want to do, and things you want to experience. Just expect it to be a long list.

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

18. “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” – Ursula K. Le Guin

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

20. “People don’t take trips, trips take people.” – John Steinbeck

I’m pretty OCD when it comes to planning and I’m sure it comes through on the itineraries we publish but some of the best travel moments always come from the unexpected. In many ways, as much as I want to be in control, I feel that I am but a passenger.

21. “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller

There’s a level of fulfilment when travelling and I love that I can expand my horizons and see our world in a new and different way.

Sometimes you just need something short and sweet to convey your love of travel.

Here are our favorite short travel quotes but there are also quotes that cross with other categories so make sure to browse through the entire list as there are definitely more short quotes than just these ones below.

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

You probably don’t know yet but you’ll be going to a ton of awesome places in your lifetime.

23. “Don’t quit your day dream.” – Anonymous

Always be dreaming and more than that, make it a reality.

24. “Where to next?” – Anonymous

This is more like the question that I get asked the most beyond “where’s your favorite place you’ve been to?”. This

If you’re a traveler, this is a question that you get almost every single time. It’s also a fantastic short travel quote because it’s almost rhetorical. There’s always somewhere you’re planning on going or want to go to.

It’s also a bit of a loaded question because I’m sure your list is quite long.

25. “Travel has a way of stretching the mind.” – Ralph Crawshaw

26. “I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way.” – Anonymous

27. “Live with no excuses and travel with no regrets.” – Oscar Wilde

Not just an amazing travel quote but great words to live by in all facets of your life.

28. “Don’t listen to what they say, go see.” – Chinese Proverb

In travel, it’s easy for someone to say that you can know everything you need to know by reading about it in the books or looking at photos but it’s something else entirely to see, experience, and feel it in person.

29. “I want to make memories all over the world.” – Anonymous

30. “Dare to live the life you’ve always wanted.” – Anonymous

We try to live without regret and this is a great short quote that we try to live life by.

31. “The journey, not the arrival matters.” – T.S. Eliot

32. “All you need to know is that it’s possible.” – Wolf, an Appalachian Trail Hiker

33. “He who would travel happily must travel light.” – Antoine de St. Exupery

I don’t always travel that light with our packing lists but this is a great short travel quote that’s always the forefront of my mind. I always ask myself, “do I really need this?”.

Here, I’m in the middle of Tokyo with the original Peak Design 5L Sling that makes a great light travel set up.

Sticking to the road less travelled can be the most rewarding. Here are a couple of quotes that push me to always incorporate something a little different on my trips.

34. “Whenever you find yourself on the side of majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.” – Mark Twain

It’s so easy to follow the crowd and be sucked into what everyone’s doing on Instagram or places that are the most popular. I’ve always found that the best trips are the ones that most people don’t know about.

35. “Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.” – Rick Watson

36. “Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by.” – Robert Frost

To some extent all great quotes come from a place of philosophical thought but to keep things organized, these are some of the most famous quotes by legendary philosophers that have stood the test of time.

37. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine

Wisdom, experiences, happiness, and wonder – it’s out there for you to explore.

38. “Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” – Confucius

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

If you’ve read about how Going Awesome Places came to be , you’ll know that I kind of stumbled upon it by accident. It’s through travel that I’ve become a better storyteller. Ibn Battuta was absolutely right.

40. “Travel brings power and love back into your life.” – Rumi Jalalud-Din

This quote speaks to the greatest reward of travel. Travel has given me so much on many levels. I’m gracious beyond words.

41. “The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.” – G.K. Chesterton

42. “I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.”  – Mark Twain

This has to ring so true right. The best test of a friendship is to travel and you quickly find out whether you can stand them or not.

43. “A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill

44. “Life was meant for great adventures and close friends.” – Anonymous

45. “True friends never apart maybe in distance never in heart.” – Helen Keller

46. “We are all travelers in the wilderness of the world & the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” – Robert Louis Stevenson

47. “The more I traveled, the more I realized fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” – Shirley MacLaine

48. “As with any journey, whom you travel with is more important than the destination.” – Anonymous

49. “Life is about doing things that don’t suck with people who don’t suck.” – Anonymous

There’s enough suckage in life. Spend time with those that don’t suck.

51. “Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.”  – Ernest Hemingway

52. “As soon as I saw you, I knew a grand adventure was about to happen.” – Winnie The Pooh

Sometimes you just know who’s going to make an awesome travel partner.

53. “You can pack for every occasion, but a good friend will always be the best thing you could bring!”  – Anonymous

54. “In life, it’s not where you go – it’s who you travel with.” – Charles M. Schulz

As much as I love solo travel, it just isn’t the same when you can’t share your travel experiences with someone else.

55. “No road is long with good company.”  – Turkish proverb

56. “Friends that travel together, stay together.” – Anonymous

57. “A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill

58. “If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far go together.” – African Proverb

59. “Sharing adventures means enjoying them 100% more.” – Anonymous

We seek good wanderlust quotes because we’re looking to be inspired. In a simple sentence, you’ll feel that itch to book that ticket. These quotes speak to a way of life, and why you need to just go.

60. “Take only memories, leave only footprints.” – Chief Seattle

Sustainable travel is so important and its core principle can be said in this simple travel quote.

64. “We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.” – Ray Bradbury

65. “Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and think of what could go right.” – Anonymous

Travel is about taking that leap of faith. It could be a big investment in money. It could be a big risk quitting your job or taking a sabbatical. It could be scary doing it on your own. Whatever it is, think about how incredible the experiences will be to push you over that edge.

66. “Wanderlust isn’t about running away from it all.  It’s about experiencing the outside to discover the inside.” – Unknown

This is so true. Some might have the perspective that intrepid travellers are running away from something at home. The reality is that for many, travel is a way for us to learn more about ourselves and running towards truth.

Beyond inspiration, travel and wanderlust quotes tell us how we should think about life and what is important.

67. “We travel not to escape life, but for life to not escape us.” – Anonymous

Time moves faster than ever. There are only so many “I’ll do that later” you can use before you run out. Don’t let those opportunities slip on by.

68. “With age, comes wisdom. With travel, comes understanding.” – Sandra Lake

69. “To travel is to live.” – Hans Christian Andersen

This is one of my all-time favourites that can easily go into the short travel quotes section. It’s a motto in life that’s truly transformative.

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

71. “Once in a while it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.” – Alan Keightley

72. “When overseas you learn more about your own country, than you do the place you’re visiting.” – Clint Borgen

74. “Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.” – Anotole France

Adventure is such a core part of our travel DNA and these quotes about travel should inspire you to launch your very own.

75. “To live will be an awfully big adventure.” – Peter Pan

76. “Adventure is worthwhile.” – Aesop

77. “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” – Neale Donald Walsch

When the adrenaline is pumping, and you don’t know what’s coming next is when I feel the most alive. That includes being terrified of heights and jumping out of a plane in the Abel Tasman .

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

79. “Great things never came from comfort zones.” – Anonymous

80. “Travel doesn’t become adventure until you leave yourself behind.” – Anonymous

83. “Just go. Go see all the beauty in the world.” – Anonymous

There is truly so much beauty in the world. Everywhere I go, I’m constantly amazed.

Above all else, travel is what puts a smile on many people’s faces. This collection of wanderlust quotes should give you what people call “the travel feels” these days.

84. “Remember that happiness is a way of travel – not a destination.” – Roy M. Goodman

85. “The life you have led doesn’t need to be the only life you have.” – Anna Quindlen

86. “Try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.” – Maya Angelou

There are so many ways to interpret this one but I think of it as always staying positive whether it’s someone feeling down or when shit happens when you travel.

87. “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”  – Anonymous

I have a couple of these songs on my road trip mixtape. Songs are such a great way to convey ideas and these are a few lyrics that make me want to travel even more.

88. “And I think to myself, what a wonderful world”. – Louis Armstrong, “It’s a Wonderful World”

This isn’t normally something you associate with travel but when you think about those skies of blue, clouds of white, trees of green, colors of the rainbow, and all the faces of people going by, I can’t help but think about all the things that make travel so amazing.

89. “Life is short; I wanna live it well. One life, one story to tell.” – Switchfoot, “Live It Well”

If you know me well, you’ll know that Switchfoot is my all-time favourite band. Their lyrics are what I love the most about them because they always have incredibly deep meaning. Life is precious, you’ve got one shot to make it count.

90. “But hold me fast, hold me fast, cause I’m a hopeless wanderer.”  – Mumford & Sons, “Hopeless Wanderer”

91. “Gonna travel, gonna travel wild and free. I’m gonna pack my bags because this great big world is calling me.”  – Elvis Presley, “Harem Holiday”

92. “Tell everybody I’m on my way. New friends and new places to see. With blue skies ahead, yes I’m on my way.” – Phil Collins, “On My Way”

They might not be authors or philosophers but they equally have important things to say about the impact of travel and why it matters.

93. “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

The late Anthony Bourdain was someone that truly understood travel. He was such a great storyteller and this quote reminds me of my earlier days when I was backpacking around Europe and just not having a care in the world.

94. “Don’t count the days. Make the days count.” – Muhammad Ali

95. “The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.” – Oprah Winfrey

96. “Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.” – Albert Einstein

97. “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” – Anthony Bourdain

Travel does change you and always for the better. Anthony Bourdain goes a step further by also encourages us to leave the places we visit better off.

98. “To awaken alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.” – Freya Stark

99. “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” – Dalai Lama

100. “Paris is always a good idea.” – Audrey Hepburn

102. “The world is not in your books and maps, it’s out there.” – The Hobbit

Pictures tell a thousand words and videos many more but there’s nothing like being in these places that people talk about and taking it in with all of your senses.

103. “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.” – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

104. “You only get one life. It’s actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.” – Me Before You

105. “I want adventure in the great wide somewhere.” – Beauty and the Beast

I’m not sure if we’ve ever done a list this long but we hope that you’ve been able to pull a few favorites of your own with the best quotes about travel.

Many of these have anchored but have also set me free when it comes to traveling the world. In one way or another, these quotes have driven me to take the leap, to continue to explore, and to get outside of my comfort zone.

Wanderlust is defined as “a strong desire to travel”.

Best quotes about travel are ones that are easy to understand, have deep analogies to life, and of course create strong feelings of wanderlust.

So what are your favorite travel quotes? Are there quotes that we’ve missed that you would’ve loved to have seen make the list? Drop a comment down below!

• How to travel Bora Bora on a budget
• Your guide to visiting Easter Island
• What it’s really like to safari in South Africa
• Most beautiful places in Africa to visit
• Crazy skydiving experience in New Zealand
• If this is your first time on Going Awesome Places, we love finding ways to make travel cheaper. I do this by taking advantage of car rental coupon codes , hotel codes for Hilton , Marriott , IHG , Best Western , Hyatt and Radisson , and lastly, making use of eSIM such as Airalo to make sure I don’t get dinged by roaming.

If you’re in the process of planning your trip and putting together your itinerary, these are genuinely the best resources that the Going Awesome Places team stands by 100% .

Credit cards: Don’t get burned by hidden fees on top of terrible exchange rates. When we travel now, we use the Wise Card . Simply load it with the currency you need before you go and use it as a regular VISA or their digital wallet card. Use their free app to track how much you have and top up when you need to.

Flights: Of all the booking search engines, Skyscanner is the most helpful and easy to use thanks to their Everywhere feature . Kayak is also another that’s we will often check as well.

Car Rental: If you’re looking to save money, these car rental coupon codes will be a true game-changer. Otherwise, DiscoverCars and RentalCars are great places to start.

Airport Parking: You’ll need a spot to leave your car at the airport so why not book a spot at a discount. Use code AWESOME7 to get at least $5 off at Airport Parking Reservations or Park Sleep Fly packages.

Data: We’ve been a huge fan of wifi hotspot devices like PokeFi because their rates are so good and you can use it globally but recently, we’ve really loved using eSIMs. The best one is Airalo . Save money by getting region-specific eSIMs and use referral code WILLIA9500 to get $3 USD credit on your first purchase. Ubigi is another one that we’ve had success with where they uniquely offer 5G coverage. Use code AWESOME10 to save 10% on your first order.

Hotels: Our go-to is Booking.com because they have the best inventory of properties including hotels and B&Bs plus they have their Genius tier discounts . The exception is Asia where Agoda always has the best prices. TripAdvisor is also useful for reviews and bookings.

Vacation Rentals: Your first instinct will be to check Airbnb but we always recommend checking VRBO as well if you’re looking for a vacation rental.

Tours: When planning our trips, we always check both Viator and GetYourGuide to at least see what’s out there in the destination that we’re going to. They often have different offerings and prices so check both.

Travel Insurance: Learn how to buy the best travel insurance for you. This isn’t something you want to travel without.

• Insured Nomads – Popular insurance provider for frequent travelers and comes with great coverage and special perks.
• RATESDOTCA – Search engine Canadians looking for the cheapest insurance including multi-trip annual policies.
• SafetyWing – A perfect fit for long-term nomads.
• Medjet – Global air medical transportation.
• InsureMyTrip – Best for seniors, families, and those with pre-existing conditions.

Inspirational Travel Quotes & Captions for Instagram

1. When was the last time you did something for the first time. – John C. Maxwell

This travel quote inspires us to do all the crazy stuffs we have done. I am very scared of water. Agni simply inspires me with this quote before I go all out for any water sports. Before doing the scuba diving at Andaman , I was out of my wits. But I did it. Be it playing with the snow at Tsomgo Lake near Gangtok or shouting at top of our lungs at the Rupin Pass summit, we try to do things that we have not done before.

2. For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move. – Robert Louis Stevenson

Travel for the simple joy of it. Not for the reasons like peer pressure, getting the best social media posts or simply because everyone is doing so. There is a subtle joy in the journey. Travel without prejudice and without being judgmental .

3. Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world. – Gustave Flaubert

Only when you see the mighty mountains, the vastness of the seas and the magnanimity of nature, only then you can truly understand our place in the world. Travel has made us grow, it has made us grateful and humble – something no other thing could have done.

5. Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind. – Anthony Bourdain

This is perhaps one of the best quotes by Bourdain . It portrays all that is true about travelling without glorifying the glamour that is associated with travel these days. Travel is not about the perfect Instagram pictures where ladies sway around in their beautiful looking dresses and men looks perfect in with their six-pack abs. Travel is not only about taking the perfect sunset photos. Travel is not about glamour and fashion. Travel is anything but all these.

The photographs that you see everywhere are the best ones. Even this blog puts up only the best ones. But there are moments in travel that are not that great. There are long queues, missed flights, no sleep, dirty toilets and other mishaps. But whatever the experience is, good or bad, it shapes us into the person we are .

6. 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 harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.― Mark Twain

Yes, I had been waiting long for the perfect moment to do what I loved to. That moment actually never came until I realized that each moment is perfect for doing the thing I love. You just have to start off, begin the journey. Rest all will fall into place. This happens to be one of my favourite travel quotes.

7. And then there is the most dangerous risk of all — the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later. – Randy Komisar

8. 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

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

10. We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey. – John Hope Franklin

11. 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

12. All men dream, but no equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. -T.E. Lawrence

13. I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world. – Mary Anne Radmacher

14. Travelling is 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

15. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all of one’s lifetime. – Mark Twain

You cannot really sit at a corner and learn about the world and its people. Mark Twain has such great insight into travel and it shows in his quotes.

16. The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. – Saint Augustine

17. When overseas you learn more about your own country than you do the place you’re visiting. – Clint Borgen

18. 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. – Ray Bradbury

Do not lose you sense of wonder. Marvel in the little joys of life. Not only it will mak you travel better, but also your life. Nothing can beat the thrill of travelling for us. We are happiest when we are travelling and exploring the world.

19. And then there is the most dangerous risk of all — the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later. – Randy Komisar

20. There is freedom waiting for you, on the breezes of the sky. And you ask “What if I fall?” Oh but my darling, what if you fly? – Erin Hanson

21. The traveller sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see. -Gilbert K. Chesterton

Set aside your concerns about travelling as a family. Accept that there will be mishaps and mistakes along the way. But look forward to the far bigger bunch of good stuff that’ll happen as well.

“Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.”

Ahh, Dolly Parton. I could not agree more. As hectic as life can get, it should never get in the way of experiences as a family. Your time together is far more precious than your to-do list.

It’s hard to know what to expect before hitting the road as a family. Here are some insightful quotes to (hopefully) reassure you it’ll all be fine…

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

Unsure whether travel is right for your children? Listen to Carrol.

Sure, school’s important. But what they’re really yearning for is adventure- not a life of tests, chalk-boards, and ‘organised fun’. Here’s more info on how self-development is so inherent within travel.

I love this travel with family quote from Hodding Carter. I hope you find value in the remaining traveling quotes with family themes.

“Two of the greatest gifts we can give our children are roots and wings.”

Roots and wings. Understanding and courage. Humility and ambition. Grounding and aspirations. Travel provides your children with all of the above. And you’ll have been the one to instigate it.

“Every day we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.”

You want your kids to look back on their childhoods with fondness and delight. Give them a childhood full of fun, excitement and adventure by hitting the road as soon as possible.

“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes memory.”

Your children stand to gain from travel long after the experience is over. Who knows what seeds the trip will sow?

What’s the point in life if there’s no fun to be had? These family travelling quotes made me smile. I hope they have the same effect on you too!

“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it.”

Wisdom straight from the mouth of a childhood hero of mine! Peter Pan said it best. Anything is possible when you believe it can happen. Travelling is great at inspiring hope, possibility, and confidence in your abilities.

“Traveling in the company of those we love is home in motion.”

I like this thought a lot. The idea of leaving your home behind can make travel seem daunting. But going with family is like taking your home with you…there’s nothing to be scared about.

I hope these family trip quotes will help you see the fun there is to be had too. Quotes for travelling with family don’t get any better!

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

I couldn’t agree more. Travelling can be an amazing antidote to the mundanity of modern childhood. Everything is so clean, protective, ordered and…sanitary. Travel’s about diving headlong into experience, getting knocked about a bit in the process, and feeling fundamentally alive.

Education-Related Travel Family Quotes

Travel is arguably a much better, more wholesome and holistic education than any other. As these quotes have already suggested, it’s a genuine gift to give your kids.

Here are some education-related quotes on family trip to enjoy!

“The best education you will ever get is traveling. Nothing teaches you more than exploring the world and accumulating experiences.”

These quotes on travel with family reveal that the road is one big learning experience.

You witness and engage with new people, places and cultures. You navigate challenges, make your own decisions, figure out how to get around, and so on. From start to finish you and your family will be learning all the time.

Aristotle coming up with a travel family quote about how educational the experience is for kids. Read on for more quotes on traveling with family and the education it provides!

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”

Life is so much more than school. There’s a vast amount of schooling to be gained from the experience of the outside world. You can come away from formal education with a lot of knowledge, but very little understanding. Travel can fill in the gaps.

Here are some quotes about living abroad that might persuade you of the virtue of travel!

“Travel is like an endless university. You never stop learning.”

Again, more quotes for travel with family to try and drive this idea home! Travel is a constant source of learning.  Hit the road and everyone will gain a better understanding of themselves and the world.

The education you get isn’t always as obvious as the book-learning of facts and figures. Instead, the road is your classroom and the experiences are the teachers. You learn by diving headlong into them.

These inspiring family quotes might be enough to trust in the education your family would get from the road.
