I travel not to cross countries off a list, but to ignite passionate affairs with destinations.

Travel is an investment in yourself.

Travel makes you realize that no matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn.

Travel is never a matter of money, but of courage.

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.

Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.

As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.

I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.

Life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath. We ge

Traveling 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 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.

Travel is like a giant blank canvas, and the painting on the canvas is only limited by one’s imagination.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

Travel brings power and love back into your life.

The more you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.

If you can’t live longer, live deeper.

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

We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledg

The traveler sees what he sees; the tourist sees what he has come to see.

To travel is to evolve.

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

The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.

He who does not travel does not know the value of men.

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.

Take only memories, leave only footprints.

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

I always wonder why birds stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth. Then I ask myself the same question.

Travel makes a wise man better but a fool worse.

I was not born for one corner. The whole world is my native land.

If Obama wins, I’m leaving the country. If Romney wins, I’m leaving the country. This has nothing to do with politics; I just want to travel.

Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.

The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes ‘sight seeing.’

We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.

Tourists don’t know where they’ve been; travelers don’t know where they’re going.

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.

Only he that has traveled the road knows where the holes are deep.

I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.

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

I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like the people or hate them than to travel with them.

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.

The journey not the arrival matters.

There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.

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

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what’s right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in.

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

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

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