Read on for a full list of my favourite travel quotes, with hopefully some that are less common and less uhm… “live laugh love”, yenno?

My Personal Favourite Travel Quotes
Of all the travel quotes floating around the interwebs, these are my personal favourites that really nail the emotions and joy I link to travel.
Many will (hopefully) be travel sayings you haven’t heard before. I hope you like them as much as I do!
1. “To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson
2. “Travel is like love, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.” – Pico Iyer
3. “Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you’ve never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground.” – Judith Thurman
4. “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 whats happened. In the end, you’re just happy you were there- with your eyes open- and lived to see it.” – Anthony Bourdain
5. “Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” – Miriam Beard
6. “Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times”
7. “There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I’m born to leave.”- Charlotte Eriksson
8. “This was how it was with travel: one city gives you gifts, another robs you. One gives you the heart’s affections, the other destroys your soul. Cities and countries are as alive, as feeling, as fickle and uncertain as people. Their degrees of love and devotion are as varying as with any human relation. Just as one is good, another is bad.” – Roman Payne
9. “Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.” – Wendell Berry

Long (but Awesome) Travel Quotes
A lot of travel sayings out there are short and snappy, but sometimes I love digging into longer travel quotes that are eloquently phrased and perfectly nail an emotion I or thought I’m not able to describe myself.
The following are some of my favourite long travel quotes. Sure they don’t fit on a T-Shirt, but dayum they’re great to read!
80. “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
81. “We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.” – Pico Iyer
82. “Go outside. Don’t tell anyone and don’t bring your phone. Start walking and keep walking until you no longer know the road like the palm of your hand, because we walk the same roads day in and day out, to the bus and back home and we cease to see. We walk in our sleep and teach our muscles to work without thinking and I dare you to walk where you have not yet walked and I dare you to notice. Don’t try to get anything out of it, because you won’t. Don’t try to make use of it, because you can’t. And that’s the point. Just walk, see, sit down if you like. And be. Just be, whatever you are with whatever you have, and realise that that is enough to be happy. There’s a whole world out there, right outside your window. You’d be a fool to miss it.” – Charlotte Eriksson
83. “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” – Terry Pratchett
84. “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. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet.” – Patrick Rothfuss
85. “Every place is a goldmine. You have only to give yourself time, sit in a teahouse watching the passers-by, stand in a corner of the market, go for a haircut. You pick up a thread – a word, a meeting, a friend of a friend of someone you have just met – and soon the most insipid, most insignificant place becomes a mirror of the world, a window on life, a theatre of humanity.” – Tiziano Terzani
86. “They say no land remains to be discovered, no continent is left unexplored. But the whole world is out there, waiting, just waiting for me. I want to do things– I want to walk the rain-soaked streets of London, and drink mint tea in Casablanca. I want to wander the wastelands of the Gobi desert and see a yak. I think my life’s ambition is to see a yak. I want to bargain for trinkets in an Arab market in some distant, dusty land. There’s so much. But, most of all, I want to do things that will mean something.” – Lisa Ann Sandell
87. “The tragedy in the lives of most of us is that we go through life walking down a high-walled lane with people of our own kind, the same economic situation, the same national background and education and religious outlook. And beyond those walls, all humanity lies, unknown and unseen, and untouched by our restricted and impoverished lives.” – Florence Luscomb

• 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.
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/DSCF3169-2.jpg)
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.

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order. — John Burroughs

• Inspirational Travel Quotes
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. — Helen Keller
Never let your memories be greater than your dreams. — Douglas Ivester
All men dream, but not 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. — Lawrence of Arabia
Do not dare not to dare. — C.S. Lewis
Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear. — George Adair
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DSCF8935.jpg)
Wherever you go, go with all your heart. — Unknown
It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win. — John Paul Jones
This is what holidays, travels, vacations are about. It is not really rest or even leisure we chase. We strain to renew our capacity for wonder to shock ourselves into astonishment once again. — Shana Alexander
I beg young people to travel. If you don’t have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and you’re going to see your country differently, you’re going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. — Henry Rollins
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 Kerouac
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints. — Robert Louis Stevenson
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/DSCF1562-2.jpg)
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
We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place. We stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there. — Pascal Mercier
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
Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you’ve never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground. — Judith Thurman
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSCF4433.jpg)
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. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet. — Patrick Rothfuss
It is always sad to leave a place to which one knows one will never return. Such are the melancolies du voyage: perhaps they are one of the most rewarding things about traveling. — Gustave Flaubert
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/DJI_0678.jpg)
The wish to travel seems to me characteristically human: the desire to move, to satisfy your curiosity or ease your fears, to change the circumstances of your life, to be a stranger, to make a friend, to experience an exotic landscape, to risk the unknown. — Paul Theroux
Although I deeply love oceans, deserts and other wild landscapes, it is only mountains that beckon me with that sort of painful magnetic pull to walk deeper and deeper into their beauty. They keep me continuously wanting to know more, feel more, see more. — Victoria Erickson

• Travel With Friends Quotes
A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. — Tim Cahill
You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart always will be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place. — Miriam Adeney
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend. — Robert Louis Stevenson
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/DSCF0577.jpg)
• 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
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DSCF3678.jpg)
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
Do not follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and make a trail. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_0942-2-3.jpg)
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
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DSCF4099.jpg)
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
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/DSCF2543.jpg)
• Solo Travel Quotes
To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the most pleasant sensations in the world. — Freya Stark
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
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSCF3895-9.jpg)
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
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSCF5260-2.jpg)
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
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/DJI_0013.jpg)
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
Personally I like going places where I don’t speak the language, don’t know anybody, don’t know my way around and don’t have any delusions that I’m in control. Disoriented, even frightened, I feel alive, awake in ways I never am at home. — Michael Mewshaw
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/DSCF1709.jpg)
I can speak to my soul only when the two of us are off exploring deserts or cities or mountains or roads. — Paulo Coelho
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose. — Walt Whitman
• 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.
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/DSCF7530-4.jpg)
Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.
I know that I will never understand the world I live in or fully know the places I’ve been. I’ve learned for sure only what I don’t know — and how much I have to learn.
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.
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/DSCF3123.jpg)
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.
I think when you travel as much as I have, I don’t want to say I’m more humble, but I think you become aware of how other people live, how hard their lives are, how big the world is.
I have seen firsthand that things can turn on a dime. Tremendously awful, evil things happen to nice people all the time. I have seen people, again and again, relentlessly grinding under the wheel of poverty or oppression. At the same time, I see random acts of kindness and pride in the most outrageous and most unexpected circumstances. I am grateful. I understand that I am very privileged to see what I am seeing, even when it hurts. I think that people, particularly Americans, need to be more inspired to travel and be adventurous with the things they eat. And if they are curious about the world and willing to walk in somebody else’s shoes—that is surely a good thing.
![dont trip quotes](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/DSCF3021.jpg)
Without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund.
Who wouldn’t travel, if they could? It’s unthinkable to me. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy different, new sensations, especially when the world is filled with so much great stuff? I like new things. I like to feel good. I like learning about stuff. It makes me happy. I like being wrong about stuff.
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.

“Don’t trip over what is behind you.”
That experience your stuck on was not meant to trip you up. That experience was meant to teach you something valuable that you hadn’t known already and to make you into an even stronger individual. It wasn’t meant to weaken you or steer you into the wrong and/or negative direction. Be careful how you respond to each experience because your subconscious is always storing new information to present to you- just make sure it is what you want and not more of what you don’t.

These top travel quotes are among the most famous short travel quotes in the world.
You’ve likely heard most or all of them before, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make for a classic Instagram caption or a dose of travel inspiration!
“The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.” — Wallace Stevens
I am forever obsessed with this beautiful travel quote–the longer and farther we travel, the more I appreciate just how smitten I am with this incredible world of ours.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.” — St. Augustine
While this is one of the most famous travel quotes out there, it’s as controversial as it is inspiring: not everyone has the opportunity to travel, after all, and I certainly don’t believe that you have to travel to be a well-rounded person.
… That being said, for those of us lucky enough to have the opportunity, I do believe travel can enrich us and our knowledge of the world immeasurably.
![dont trip quotes Cenote X'canche as seen from the interior of the small cave. Also known as the ek balam cenote. A waterfall is in the left side of the photo and the water is turquoise](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/MexicoEkBalam-83-1024x702.jpg)

“This… this was excitement, romance, adventure–and there was so much more of it, too much more of it for even another month, another year, another decade to adequately contain my investigations.” — Anthony Bourdain
This quote from Anthony Bourdain’s first memoir (the fantastic Kitchen Confidential , which helped propel him to stardom), has always stuck with me: this is exactly how I feel arriving in a new destination and becoming intoxicated by just how much I love it.
Bourdain is talking about his first trip to Tokyo here, but the sentiment could belong to any number of overwhelming, delightful, fantastic cities around the globe
For me, it brings to mind Rome , Mexico City , Istanbul , Bangkok , and so many more.
![dont trip quotes Kate Storm in a gray dress standing in Rue de l'Universite in Paris with the Eiffel Tower behind her](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Paris-332-735x1024.jpg)

Some of the best short travel quotes in the world are not about any single destination or accomplishment in particular, but about appreciating all of the unexpected (if often uncomfortable) adventures that happen along the way.
“The journey itself is my home.” — Matsuo Basho
“Our happiest moments as tourists always seem to come when we stumble upon one thing while in pursuit of something else.” — Lawrence Block
I love this quote–and have found it to be true over and over again while traveling.
Major travel accomplishments are fantastic, but often the best and most memorable travel adventures cannot be planned.

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

“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 is glamorous only in retrospect.” — Paul Theroux
Oh, how true this is!
The reality of travel–especially long-term travel like what we have been experiencing for nearly 5 years as of the time that I’m updating this travel quotes blog post–is often stressful and physically uncomfortable, but so far, it has always been worth it.
![dont trip quotes Travel Budget for Morocco](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/DSC_0304-1024x683.jpg)

![dont trip quotes La Maison Rose on Montmartre next to an empty street--definitely a pretty stop along the way during your 2 days in Paris France!](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Paris-121-1024x683.jpg)
“I have no reason to go, except that I have never been, and knowledge is better than ignorance. What better reason could there be for traveling?” — Freya Stark
While our personal travel bucket list is longer than ever, we find ourselves living by this short travel quote near-constantly on the road: when the opportunity presents itself to explore another neighborhood, city, or country that we know little to nothing about, our question is no longer “why should we visit?” but “why not?”.
“Remember that happiness is a way of travel–not a destination.” — Roy M. Goodman
“The journey not the arrival matters.” — T.S. Eliot
![dont trip quotes Catamaran offshore near Isla Mujeres Mexico--a catamaran tour to Isla Mujeres makes a fun day trip from Cancun](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/MexicoIslaMujeres-188-1024x683.jpg)
Travel long enough, and it becomes clear that changing along the way is simply part of the deal.
Here’s how travel changes you–as told in short travel quotes from a wide variety of travelers.
“Travel opens your mind as few other things do. It is its own form of hypnotism, and I am forever under its spell.” — Libba Bray
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but having new eyes.” — Marcel Proust
“So much of who we are is where we have been.” — William Langewiesche
I love this quote about traveling and have been tempted to use it plenty of travel captions before: each destination has a way of weaving itself into us and becoming part of who we are.
![dont trip quotes Kate Storm overlooking Ladies View in Killarney National Park, wearing a blue shirt and looking away from the camera. Views like this are perfect for visiting during your honeymoon in Ireland!](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Ireland-12-1-933x1024.jpg)
“You go away from a long time and return a different person–you never come all the way back.” — Paul Theroux
As someone who left on what was supposed to be a RTW trip with a clear end date, never came back, and half a decade later has a new career, focus in life, and wealth of experiences to show for it, I can certainly attest to this: we have never and will never come all the way back to who we started before traveling long-term.
We have been so changed by our experiences that the life we originally planned for ourselves feels inconceivable now, and we place the responsibility for most of that on leaping into the unknown.
“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
“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.” — Anthony Bourdain
“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes
“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.” — Anita Desai
![dont trip quotes Best Things to Do in Budapest: Imre Nagy Statue](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Budapest-36-1024x682.jpg)
“I travel because it makes me realize how much I haven’t seen, how much I’m not going to see, and how much I still need to see.” — Carew Papritz
“Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” — Seneca
“You do not travel if you are afraid of the unknown, you travel for the unknown, that reveals you with yourself.” — Ella Maillart
“Now more than ever do I realize that I will never be content with a sedentary life, that I will always be haunted by thoughts of a sun-drenched elsewhere.” — Isabelle Eberhardt
“Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.” — Anthony Bourdain
![dont trip quotes](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Rome-458-1024x683.jpg)
“Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember and I remember more than I have seen.” — Benjamin Disraeli
“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
This pick from Bill Bryson might be just slightly too long for this post specifically on short travel quotes, but I love it too much to leave it off: nothing brings back childlike wonder quite like being dropped in a country dramatically different from your own!
![dont trip quotes Photo of Mostar old town from the old bridge, added to a post about the best short travel quotes and travel captions](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/DSC_2036-1024x683.jpg)

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I–I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” — Robert Frost
“The true fruit of travel is perhaps the feeling of being nearly everywhere at home.” — Freya Stark
“Travel has a way of stretching the mind.” — Ralph Crawshaw
“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” — Mary Ritter Beard
“Traveling’s not something you’re good at. It’s something you do. Like breathing.” — Gayle Foreman
![dont trip quotes Kate Storm in a pink tank top overlooking San Juan del Sur Nicaragua](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/girl-san-juan-del-sur-playa-1024x683.jpg)
“Travel far enough, you meet yourself.” — David Mitchell
“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
“When you travel, you’re forced to have new thoughts. “Is this alley safe?” “Is this the right bus?” “Was this meat ever a house pet?” It doesn’t even matter what the new thoughts are, it feels so good to just have some variety. And it’s a reboot for your brain. I can feel the neurons making new connections again with new problems to solve, clawing their way back to their nimbler, younger days.” — Kristin Newman
“I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” — Mary Anne Radmacher
![dont trip quotes View of Orvieto Duomo as seen from Torre del Moro](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Orvieto-45-1024x683.jpg)
There’s no doubt that one of the best things about travel is getting to connect with people all over the world–here are some of the best travel quotes on the subject, starting with one of my ultimate favorites…
“Travel is about great and illogical leaps of trust.” — Dave Eggers
I pulled this from a short story called The Road to Riyadh that Eggers wrote for Lonely Planet as part of a phenomenal compilation of true travel stories , and have had it seared into my memory from the moment I read it–it perfectly captures the emotion behind stepping outside your comfort zone when traveling.
![dont trip quotes 2 Weeks in Mexico Itinerary: Palenque](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/DSC_0372-1024x683.jpg)
“If you’re 22, 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
“Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.” — Wendell Berry
“The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” — Shirley MacLaine
“To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” — Aldous Huxley
![dont trip quotes Faralongi off the coast of Capti Italy with palm fronds in the foreground](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/AmalfiCoast-254-1024x683.jpg)

“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

“Traveling tends to magnify all human emotions.” — Peter Hoeg
Anyone who has ever fought with their travel companion over something seemingly inane while way too jetlagged knows this short travel quote to be true!
![dont trip quotes View of castle of San Marino perched on a hill](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/SanMarinoLandscape-6-1024x682.jpg)
“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.” — Anais Nin
“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
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrowmindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.” — Mark Twain
As much as I love this famous travel quote by Twain, I’ve always felt that it’s best appreciated when read with the following one by Michener:
“If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and ignore the people, you might better just stay home.” — James A. Michener
These two short travel quotes may have two entirely different takes on how travel can (or cannot) change you, but read together, to me they always add up to the idea that you get out of travel what you put into it–and I have always found that to be true in our own adventures around the world.
![dont trip quotes Kate Storm and Jeremy Storm spinning together on a beach in Tayrona National Park Colombia. Be sure to bring sunglasses and a dress](https://www.ourescapeclause.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IMG_20180128_120336_619__01-830x1024.jpg)

Here are some of the best travel quotes on pursuing a life of adventure!
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” — Helen Keller
“When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.” — Susan Heller
Nearly 5 years of living a life of travel later, we can confirm this is definitely true for us! So much overpacking in those early months…

“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

“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.” — Lisa St. Aubin De Teran
“Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.” — Mae Jemison
“I’m in love with cities I’ve never been to and people I’ve never met.” — John Green

In May 2016, I left my suburban life in the USA and became a full-time traveler. Since then, I have visited 50+ countries on 5 continents and lived in Portugal, developing a special love of traveling in Europe (especially Italy) along the way. Today, along with my husband Jeremy and dog Ranger, I’m working toward my eventual goal of splitting my life between Europe and the USA.

1. “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” ~ Saint Augustine
![dont trip quotes travel quotes The World is a book and those who do not travel read only one page by Saint Augustine](https://theplanetd.com/images/inspirational-travel-quotes-saint-augustine.jpg)
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
![dont trip quotes dont trip quotes](https://theplanetd.com/images/best-travel-quotes-jrr-tolkein.jpg)
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
![dont trip quotes adventure travel quotes by Helen Keller - Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all](https://theplanetd.com/images/adventure-travel-quotes-daring.jpg)
If Helen Keller can see 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, 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 quoted as having one of the most popular travel quotes in the world.
4. “Take only memories, leave only footprints” ~ Chief Seattle
![dont trip quotes Famous travel Quotes - Take only memories leave only footprints by Chief Seattle](https://theplanetd.com/images/quotes-for-travelers-footprints.jpg)
Chief Seattle had many inspiring quotes, but this is probably the most famous of all 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

![dont trip quotes best travel quotes by marcel proust](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-marcel-proust.jpg)
When thinking about travel quotes, we often look to the most popular ones, but these quotes really make me think. Sure, we can set sail to different lands, but until you change your mindset, you’ll never really immerse yourself 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

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
![dont trip quotes Adventure travel quotes by Paul Coelho](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-its-lethal.jpg)

15. “Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey” ~ Babs Hoffman
![dont trip quotes Babas Hoffman Inspirational travel quotes](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-potholes-640x960.jpg)

16. “Fear is only temporary. Regrets last forever.”
![dont trip quotes best travel quotes for motivation | fear is only temporary, regrets last forever](https://theplanetd.com/images/Best-Travel-Quotes-fear-is-temporary.jpg)
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.”
![dont trip quotes Best Quotes About Traveling life begins at the end of your comfort zone](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-comfort-zone.jpg)

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
![dont trip quotes Traveling Quote by David McCullough](https://theplanetd.com/images/traveling-quotes-climb-mountains.jpg)
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.

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!

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
![dont trip quotes best travel quote | jet lag is for amateurs](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-amateurs.jpg)
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!

![dont trip quotes Travel is glamorous only in retrospect by Paul Theroux](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quote-travel-is-glamorous-only-in-retrospect.jpg)

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”
![dont trip quotes Travel quotes | Be inspired by this list of the most inspiring quotes of all time](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-daydream.jpg)
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”
![dont trip quotes Travel quotes | Be inspired by this list of the most inspiring quotes of all time](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-dont-know-where-im-going.jpg)

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.

53. “I want to make memories all over the world”
![dont trip quotes I want to make memories all over the world best travel quotes](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-memories.jpg)
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.”

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

![dont trip quotes best quotes about traveling - Be inspired by this list of the most inspiring quotes of all time](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-journey.jpg)
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.”
![dont trip quotes best travel quotes - Be inspired by this list of the most inspiring quotes of all time](https://theplanetd.com/images/Best-Travel-Quotes-earth-explorer.jpg)
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.”
![dont trip quotes best travel quotes - You can shake the sand from your shoes, but not from your soul.](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-sand-in-shoes.jpg)
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
![dont trip quotes We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment - best travel quotes hilaire belloc](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-distractions-640x960.jpg)

![dont trip quotes travel quotes - traveling is not something you're good at, it's something you do. Like Breathing](https://theplanetd.com/images/Best-Travel-Quotes-Like-Breathing.jpg)
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
![dont trip quotes best quotes about traveling - All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us - J.R.R. Tolkien quote](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-given-to-us.jpg)
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.”
![dont trip quotes best travel quotes - it feels good to be lost in the right direction](https://theplanetd.com/images/quotes-about-travel-lost.jpg)
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.”
![dont trip quotes travel quotes - Traveling allows you to become so many different versions of yourself](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-lifestyle.jpg)
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.

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 .
![dont trip quotes best travel qtuoes When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money](https://theplanetd.com/images/trave-quotes-half-the-clothes-twice-the-money.jpg)
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
![dont trip quotes best travel quotes Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands.](https://theplanetd.com/images/best-travel-quotes-richard-burton-640x960.jpg)
It’s becoming 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 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.

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.
great article.. and the quotes were really inspiring.. i loved them.. thanks for the quotes.. i literally took snaps from my phone and kept it safe for captions when i travel and post..

I was searching for the best traveling quotes, and I came across your blog and read a few of them. Really, I like them all. It will be helpful for writing Instagram captions. Thanks for sharing!
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 wish you all a good holidays/travels for this 2021, if pandemics let us for sure! Keeping healthy is priority

My travels should be the freedom of your dreams…!!!
Thanks for sharing! I hadn’t heard this travel quote before! Cheers.
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 🙂

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.

Great collection of quotes! May I add another favorite quote of mine from John Galliano? ” I’m passionate and I travel the world not just as a tourist but to understand cultures… I’ve lived with Masai tribe… I travel the world and bring it back in the form of a research book that would become the starting point for the collection. ” John Galliano

Nice collection of inspiring travel quotes! I like it when one uses own pictures as inspiration for those quotes 🙂 One of my favourite quotes is “a ship is safe in harbour, but that’s not what ships are built for”. When browsing the internet for more info about this quote, I came across a poem with this quote in, and it’s really beautiful. I think at least 🙂 Here’s the link to that poem: http://www.thetravellingchilli.com/2014/11/ship-safe-harbour-thats-ships-built/

After all, travel isn’t just about good vibes.
“Travel is only glamorous in retrospect” – Paul Theroux
“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” – Cesare Pavese
“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; NEVER stop fighting.” – E.E. Cummi ngs
“I have always been an advocate for the “Go hard, or go home” way of living. I don’t like being a parked car , instead opting for a fifth gear kind of life. This philosophy works, except sometimes I’m driving too many roads in fifth gear which later converge into an intersection of carnage.” Caz Makepeace, Living Life Unplugged.
Travel Misquotes
“Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference” – Robert Frost.
Like many, I studied this poem years ago at school and felt moved by the words. Later, I found an interview in which Robert Frost revealed his surprise at the way his work had been interpreted. He began by writing about an acquaintance, one who frequently bragged about his experiences. And with that, I see these words in a completely different light. I wonder how much that applies to these other quotes?!
“Travel far enough, you meet yourself.”― David Mitchell
In this case, I thought the quote came from the British comedian David Mitchell and therefore it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to a lot of the “finding yourself” fluff you hear about travel. In researching this, apparently not. A different David Mitchell. So maybe he meant it on a deeper level after all?
Looking Inside
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes” – Marcel Proust.
“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign” – Robert Louis Stevenson
“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.” – Anita Desai
“I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on earth, then I ask myself the same question.” –Harun Yahya
“You don’t choose the day you enter the world and you don’t choose the day you leave. It’s what you do in between that makes all the difference.” – Anita Septimus
“Travel gives freedom. It gives the permission to rest and to breathe and to think – at least for some of the time. And that time, of course, is precious: we can’t know how much we will have.” The Importance of Doing Nothing.

Educational Travel Quotes
“I want to focus on themes and on topics that I can really learn about. I want to be able to have a discussion about St Francis – or Buddhism or Gothic architecture or modern Japan or conservation or whatever – where I can challenge your views and you can challenge mine and I don’t just end up shrugging because I don’t know what I’m really talking about.” Michael Turtle.
“ Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.“ Francis Bacon
On the Run?
“What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do — especially in other people’s minds. When you’re traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.” – William Least Heat Moon
“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.” Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Coming Back from New Adventures and New Places
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” – Terry Pratchett
“Home is where the heart is, and my heart is wherever I am at the moment.” – Lily Leung
The Travel Quote that Speaks to Me the Most
“We shall not cease from exploration, and at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” T. S. Eliot.
Of all the travel quotes, this one reaches into me the most. While I admire the achievements of Helen Keller, laugh at the “one hell of a story” and feel moved by the words of Maya Angelou, I prefer the word “exploring” in this idea.
Many of the quotes talk about courage and introspection but here, we have the idea of exploring.
That can be inside your head. Travel may not be necessary at all. Which brings me to this final short travel quote:
“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” Henry David Thoreau.
What do you think? Which of these quotes about travel speaks to you? How do you feel about leaving your comfort zone? Or should we just aim to live life, whether we travel on the road or in our minds? And how can we combine all of this into the best short travel quotes for instagram?!

To inspire you and me for such a road trip, there are some great and choicest road trip quotes!

BEST ROAD TRIP QUOTES
1. “stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey”. – babs hoffman.
![dont trip quotes Road Trip Quotes - Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey](https://www.taleof2backpackers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Road-trip-quotes-Stop-worrying-about-the-potholes-in-the-road-and-enjoy-the-journey-683x1024.jpg)
This should be the only mantra when you are on a road trip. There will be bad roads, potholes and so many we won’t like. As much as we try to have everything perfect, sometimes things are beyond our control. So let’s do our best, stop complaining about the potholes and enjoy the journey! Doesn’t this mantra also apply to our lives as well?
2. “It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end”. – Ursula K. Le Guin
3. “the best journeys are the ones that answer questions that at the outset you never even thought to ask”. – rick ridgeway.
This one just speaks my heart. Did you ever think before starting a road trip what the road will bring in front of you? We don’t! The surprise that the road springs before us makes the trip even more exciting and enjoyable. Our road trip from Srinagar to Leh was full of surprises. Each corner, each milestone and every village that we crossed showed us something new, something we never thought before starting the journey.

Freya Stark could have only said this. I became her ardent fan after reading one of her books. She lived her life on her own terms and that is reflected in her writings.
8. “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
9. “to move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to roam the roads of lands remote, to travel is to live”. – hans christian andersen, 10. “sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take”. – angela n blount, instagram captions for road trips, 11. “discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes”. –marcel proust.

Long Drive Quotes
Funny road trip quotes, road trip with friends quotes, short road trip quotes, family road trip quotes, road trip captions for instagram , road trip tv and movie quotes, tbb favourite road trip quotes, final thoughts about road trip quotes.
Long drives can be very therapeutic and good for your soul – sort of meditative (unless they’re long because you’re stuck in traffic…)
The soothing feeling of being alone on the open road, listening to your favourite playlist while resting your eyes on the horizon can’t easily be described.
I’ve however tried to capture that feeling with some of my favourite long drive quotes…
- “I love road trips. You get into this Zen rhythm; throw the sense of time out the window.” – Miriam Toews
- “Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.” – Jack Kerouac
- “Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take.” – Angela N. Blount
- “Map out your future – but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.” – Jon Bon Jovi
Don’t you agree with the last two quotes? It’s a nice reminder that letting go of control can lead us to beautiful places and open amazing new opportunities for us.
Many times I’ve tried to control my life too much and would get frustrated when it wouldn’t go my way. It’s only when I’d stop resisting and go with the flow that life would really surprise me…
- “I climb behind the steering wheel… I drive off immediately without once looking back; it’s a long journey but it leads to freedom.” – Corinne Hofmann
- “Live your life by a compass, not a clock.” – Stephen Covey
A road trip is an awesome opportunity to spend some time with your loved ones, driving for hours, share your best stories and relive old memories while creating new ones.
With that in mind, here are some of my favourite funny road trip quotes!
- “Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn’t block traffic.” – Dan Rather
- “You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise.” – Florida Georgia Line
- “At the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair messy and your eyes sparkling.” – Shanti
I couldn’t agree more with this quote. If you’re not messy and dirty, are you even doing it right?
- “A tourist is a fellow who drives thousands of miles so he can be photographed standing in front of his car.” – Emile Ganest
- “Kilometers are shorter than miles. Save fuel, take your next trip in Kilometers.” – George Carlin
- “Road trips require a couple of things; a well-balanced diet of caffeine, salt and sugar and an excellent selection of tunes. Oh- and directions!” – Jenn McKinlay
YES for the caffeine, salt, sugar and the music! However, I don’t think road trips always require directions! Sometimes getting lost is the best part of a road trip… Don’t you think?
- “If you’re not lost, you’re not much of an explorer.” – John Perry Barlow
![dont trip quotes Trip Quotes](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/If-youre-not-lost_roadtrip-quotes.jpg)
YES John Perry Barlow!Get out of your comfort zone. Life will surprise you with some unexpected destinations. Just keep an open mind and heart…
A road trip with your best friends makes the whole difference. The car boredom or mishaps along the way become fun and exciting when you’re surrounded with the right people. It can go both ways – you either end up hating your friends or developing a stronger bond with them.
Pick your travel buddies wisely, friends! It’s an art.
- “Even when I visit the most beautiful countries in the world, it’s the people I come home telling stories of.” – We Dream of Travel
- “A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill
- “Some roads aren’t meant to be travelled alone.” – Chinese Proverb
- “What we find in a soul mate is not something wild to tame, but something wild to run with.” – Robert Brault
- “I travelled the whole world to discover the greatest adventure was you.” – We Dream of Travel
- “People don’t take trips, trips take people.” – John Steinbeck
- “We all have that one friend who is either on a road trip or planning a road-trip or thinking about a road-trip or talking to people who are on road-trip or posting quotes about road-trip.” – Crestless Wave
Oops, I may be that friend! Call me the road trip junkie – I’m always down for an adventure. Anyone wanna tag along?
Maybe you just have a weekend to go on a road trip or can’t take the time off work to hit the road.
You should still get out there on a road trip! It’ll help you disconnect with your routine, maintain perspective, force you to put down your phone and you will come home rested and ready to take on a new week.
Here are some of our favourite short road trip quotes to inspire your short wanderlust.
- “Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.” – Izaak Walton
Have you ever tried going on a road trip with someone who triggers the s*** out of you? YIKES.
- “No road is long with good company.” – Turkish Proverb
- “Making memories, one road trip at a time.” – Unknown
- “Travel far enough, you meet yourself” – David Mitchell
I can 100% relate to this quote. I left home when I was 18 years old and moved to a new country. I’ve been travelling ever since and it really has helped me understand myself better. My travel experience has taught me what my values, boundaries and needs are and I doubt I would be as self-aware as I am today if I didn’t hit the road so early!
You may want to leave the kids at home, take a break from your partner, or go on a solo trip to get some “me-time”, but let me tell you one thing: a good old family road trip is sometimes just what you need.
Here are some of our favorite quotes for family travel…
- “A road trip is a way for the whole family to spend time together and annoy each other in interesting new places.” – Tom Lichtenheld
- “In 1903 the Wright brothers invented airplanes, because in 1902 they took a road trip across the country with their family.” – Bill Engvall
- “The entire road trip could be summed up as one giant attempt to keep from crashing the car during fits of rage and fits of hysteria.” – Kari Martindale
If you’re going on a road trip, you want to make sure that you bring your camera to capture every second of your adventure… Let your inner artist out!
We’ve compiled our favourite road trip Instagram captions to accompany them!
- “One’s destination is never a place, but rather a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller
- “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.” – Douglas Adams
![dont trip quotes Trip Quotes](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/I-may-not-have-gone_roadtrip-quotes.jpg)
- “You may not find a path, but you will find a way.” – Tom Wolfe
- “Once you have travelled, 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
- “Sometimes, it’s only in walking the path that we discover why we are walking at all.” – Richard Paul Evans
![dont trip quotes Trip Quotes](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Sometimes-its-only-in-walking-the-path_roadtrip-quotes.jpg)
- “The road is there, it will always be there. You just have to decide when to take it.” – Chris Humphrey
This quote means so much to me. It’s a good reminder that there’s always an opportunity if you look for it, or are open to it. It’s sometimes so easy to get stuck in our own thoughts or in a situation, failing to understand that there’s ALWAYS a way out.
- “Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” – Jack Kerouac
- “I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” – Mary Anne Radmacher
Ohhh yes. Once you’ve explored the corners of the globe, you’re not the same anymore. To me, it’s a blessing and a curse… On the one hand, it has opened my mind so much, but on the other hand, I now have the travel bug!
- “Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of travelling.” – Margaret Lee Runbeck
- “Life is beautiful if you are on the road to somewhere.” – Orhan Pamuk, The New Life
- “Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself” – Stacey Westfall
In my experience, I’ve learned the most about myself in situations I had never been in and that were quite tricky to handle. That’s when my instinct kicked in… And surprised me!
- “Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey” – Babs Hoffman
Have you ever watched a TV show or a movie that made you want to drop everything and go on a road trip?
Here are some of my most inspiring road trip TV and movie quotes that make me want to travel and discover new places.
- “Well, we’re not in the middle of nowhere, but we can see it from here.” – Thelma & Louise
- “According to the map, we’ve only gone four inches.” – Dumb & Dumber
- “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” – Walt Disney
- “Just grab a friend and take a ride, together upon the open road.” – The Goofy Movie
- “Adventure is out there.” – Up
- “It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” – J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
- “We’re almost there, but nowhere near it. All that matters is that we’re going.” – Gilmore Girls
One thing I realized through travelling, which became one of my life lessons, is that it’s not about the destination but about the journey.
- “Fifty years from now, when you’re looking back at your life, don’t you want to be able to say you had the guts to get in the car?“ – Transformers
- “I love waking up in the morning not knowing what’s gonna happen or whom I’m gonna meet. Where I’m gonna wind up.” – Titanic
- “When I get home I shall write a book about this place… If I ever do get home” – Alice in Wonderland
![dont trip quotes Trip Quotes](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/When-I-get-home_roadtrip-quotes.jpg)
Last but not least, here are our favourite road trip quotes about exploring at The Broke Backpacker…
- “The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.” – Alain de Botton
- “Because the greatest part of a road trip isn’t arriving at your destination. It’s all the wild stuff that happens along the way.” – Emma Chase
- “Now, on this road trip, my mind seemed to uncrinkle, to breathe, to present to itself a cure for a disease it had not, until now, known it had.” – Elizabeth Berg
- “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” – Helen Keller
- “There’s nowhere to go but everywhere…” – Jack Kerouac, On the Road: the Original Scroll
![dont trip quotes Trip Quotes](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Theres-nowhere-to-go-but-everywhere_roadtrip-quotes.jpg)
- “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” – Susan Sontag
Alright, that was a lot of road trip quotes and captions. I hope you’re feeling inspired by now and ready to hit the pedal!
Road trips are the best way to travel: you will save heaps of money, you will be independent and you will get to explore some hidden gems as you’re getting lost on the road. And no form of travel is more conducive to blaring slick tunes at ear-splitting volume – “Fast Car” from Tracy Chapman is a must.
