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.

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

inspirational travel quotes

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).

Travel Quotes by Famous People

Through inspirational quotes, Dave and I have been motivated to take chances, we’ve been inspired to travel,  and strive to live a better life. When we started our travel blog in 2008, we gathered travel quotes to share and were the original bloggers who shared daily inspiring quotes on Twitter more than 15 years ago. Whether you enjoy short quotes or longer ones you are going to enjoy these motivational quotes about traveling .

Favorite Travel Quotes

Inspiring travel quotes have certainly ignited our spirit of exploration and captured the essence of why we travel. For example,

  • “A journey is best measured in friends, not in miles,” by Tim Cahill reminds us that experiences and connections matter more than distances traveled.
  • Another stirring quote is “Life is short and the world is wide,” attributed to Simon Raven, emphasizing our limited time to explore a vast world.
  • The wisdom in St. Augustine’s words, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page,” encourages us to broaden our horizons through travel.
  • John Steinbeck’s famous saying, “People don’t take trips, trips take people,” reflects the transformative power of travel.
  • “Travel far, pay no fare… a book can take you anywhere,” by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, suggests that even in the absence of physical travel, we can journey through the pages of a good book.
  • “A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving” ~ Lao Tzu

Each of these travel quotes offers a unique perspective on the enriching experiences travel brings to life.

Feel free to pin, use as Instagram captions, download, and print these best travel quotes to put up these best travel quotes around your house for inspiration!

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

93. “once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” ~ dalai lama, 94. though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. ~ ralph waldo emerson, 95. “the only people who ever get anyplace interesting are the people who get lost.” ~ henry david thoreau, 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.

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..

Very informative and eye catchy images. keep it up. thanks

Thanks for sharing these lovely informative travel quotes with pictures.

Really good post. I love all the travel quotes. thanks for the list.

What beautiful places, I will add them to my travel list with my husband this vacation!

The best way to learn and gain knowledge is through travel, and I admire your originality. Outstanding writing. I appreciate the post.

Awesome travel quotes. Great source of inspiration.

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

Really amazing post on travel quotes, thanks for sharing these lovely quotes. And this particular quote “Doing what you like is freedom, liking what you do is happiness.” is the perfect example of happiness. Please keep sharing these types of posts. Thanks once again

Really this is a great post I love that quote. It’s short and sweet and right to the point. I always find that it is the journey that can be life-changing and that offers me the most inspiration. Thanks for you

traveling is my hobby. I love traveling thanks for sharing this post

I personally believe that all travelers must pick inspiring travel quotes in there mind. It helps to enjoy the trip. I always do the same for me. By the way a fantastic 101 travel quotes list.

Thank you, Dave and Deb, for this collection. I read all 101.

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed these trafel quotes. Do you have a favourite?

I love to travel but these quotes make me so dizzy. I wish I had wings!!!

Thank you for sharing such a large collection of quotes, during quarantine this is an excuse to distract a little)

I am glad we could distract you a little bit. I find travel quotes to be so inspiring. They often relate to other things in lie as well. All the best to you!

Great article had fun reading it anyway my personal fav is “It’s good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters in the end”

I love that quote. It’s short and sweet and right to the point. I always find that it is the journey that can be life changing and that offers me the most inspirations.

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 🙂

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

35. "Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer." - Anonymous

For many of us, travel is more than just a getaway. It can be a life-changing experience that expands our minds and helps us grow as people.

This quote speaks to the transformative power of travel. Through our travels, we can discover new strengths and talents within ourselves, gain new perspectives on the world, and become better versions of ourselves.

Traveling has the potential to make us richer in ways that money can’t buy. It gives us a chance to see the world with fresh eyes and explore what life has to offer.

From the exhilaration of experiencing a new culture to the joys of learning something new, travel can leave us with memories and stories that will last a lifetime.

No matter where you go or how much money you spend, traveling is an invaluable experience that makes us richer in ways we can’t even imagine. So take a break, get out there, and explore – you’ll be glad you did!

36. "I travel not to find myself, but to remember who I've been all along." - Anonymous

This powerful quote speaks to the power of travel in helping us gain a new perspective on life and reconnect with who we are.

Oftentimes, when our everyday lives become routine, it can be hard to remember that there is more to life than just what we already know. Traveling can be an effective way to break out of this monotony and find ourselves again.

When we explore new places, meet new people, and immerse ourselves in different cultures, we can gain a greater understanding of our own lives and what truly matters.

Traveling can be a wonderful experience that helps us appreciate the beauty of life and remember who we’ve been all along.

37. "Jet lag is just God's way of telling you you're having too much fun." - Anonymous

This humorous quote is a great reminder that traveling can be an amazing experience, and it’s important to enjoy it.

Jet lag is a common side effect of travel, and this quote encourages us to take it in stride and keep on having fun!

Jetting off to different places around the world can be tiring, but it's often worth it. We should take advantage of these moments to get to know ourselves and think about our goals and dreams.

Life is too short, after all, and we should make the most of it!

So let’s embrace the jet lag and keep on exploring – who knows what amazing experiences await us?

38. "I travel to find myself, but I always seem to end up in the wrong place." - Anonymous

This quote reminds us that life can sometimes be unpredictable, and we may not always end up where we think we should.

But even when things don't go as planned, there can often be something positive to take away from it.

Traveling can help us discover new paths and open our minds to possibilities that we never knew existed. Even if it doesn't lead us exactly where we thought it would, it can still be an enlightening and rewarding experience.

So if you ever find yourself in the wrong place, take a moment to appreciate the journey and what it has taught you. It may not be exactly where you expected it to end up, but that doesn't mean it's not the right place for you.

39. "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way." - Carl Sandburg

This quote from Carl Sandburg speaks to the beauty and mystery of travel. We may not know exactly where we’re going, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the journey.

The joy of traveling is in the unknown, and it's important to embrace whatever comes our way – even if it isn't what we expected or planned for.

When we take the time to explore, we can find something new and exciting around every corner.

So let’s let go of our expectations and trust that wherever we go, it will be an adventure!

40. "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

This quote from Carew Papritz is a reminder that there is always more to explore and discover in the world. No matter how much we have seen, there will always be new places to explore and experiences to be had.

Traveling helps us realize just how big the world is and how much potential it holds for us. Seeing new sights reminds us that there are so many things we still haven't experienced, and it encourages us to keep searching for what we're passionate about.

So let’s keep setting out on new journeys and never stop looking for what’s out there!

41. "A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving." - Lao Tzu

This quote from the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu encourages us to relax and enjoy the journey of travel. We can have our itineraries and plans, but it's important to be flexible and open-minded as well.

We should take the time to appreciate each moment, savor new experiences, and embrace whatever surprises come our way.

So don't worry too much about getting to the destination, because it's the journey that matters most.

So let’s take a deep breath and enjoy our travels – wherever they may lead!

42. "I travel because I want to look back on my life and say, 'I can't believe I did that.'" - Anonymous

Traveling gives us the chance to push our boundaries, try something new, and be amazed by what we find. It's a great way to gain perspective on different cultures, environments, and lifestyles.

43. "I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine." - Caskie Stinnett

Life can be predictable and tiring when we stay in one place for too long, so it’s important to switch things up now and then.

Whether it’s taking a weekend away or planning a longer trip, traveling can provide us with new experiences and perspectives. We may find ourselves in unfamiliar places, but that can be a great opportunity to explore, learn, and grow.

We can challenge ourselves, meet new people and discover different cultures.

So take the time to break away from routine and get out and explore – you may be surprised by what you discover!

44. "I'm not a great navigator. I usually get lost in my hometown." - Bob Dylan

This quote from Bob Dylan is a reminder that it’s ok to get lost sometimes – even in our hometowns. We don’t always need to know exactly where we’re going or how to get there.

Sometimes, the best way to explore a new place is to simply wander around and see what you can find. You may just stumble upon something interesting or unexpected.

We can learn a lot by going off the beaten path and not worrying too much about our exact destination.

So take a wrong turn every once in a while – you may be pleasantly surprised!

45. "I'm not lost, I'm exploring." - Anonymous

This quote is a reminder that getting lost can be a great way to explore new parts of the world. We may think we know where we're going, but sometimes the best adventures come when we take the road less traveled.

Exploring without a plan can lead to exciting and unexpected discoveries – whether it's finding a hidden gem in an unfamiliar city or stumbling upon an entirely different culture.

It's important to remember that when we are exploring, we don't have to feel like we're lost.

Rather, it's an opportunity to open our eyes and hearts to new experiences and possibilities. We can take risks and step outside of our comfort zones to learn more about the world around us.

So the next time you find yourself in a strange place or feeling a bit lost, take it as a sign to explore and have fun!

46. "A change of latitude would help my attitude." - Unknown

It’s an opportunity to step outside of our comfort zones, try something new, and find inspiration in unexpected places.

A change of latitude can help us take a break from our everyday lives and open our eyes to new possibilities. So next time you’re feeling stuck, remember this quote and take a trip – it just might be the change you need!

47. "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 quote from Mark Twain reminds us that one of the best ways to get to know someone is to travel with them.

When we’re on the road, we have no choice but to spend time together and get to know each other. We are forced to communicate, cooperate, and work through any issues that arise.

Traveling together allows us to observe the other person’s habits, interests, and values. It helps us determine if we are compatible and whether or not our relationship will last.

When traveling with someone, we also get to experience all the wonderful moments of delight that come with it; exciting new places, unique experiences, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.

48. "Jet lag is for amateurs." - Dick Clark

This quote from Dick Clark tells us that jet lag is just part of the travel experience. Even experienced travelers can feel its effects, but it doesn't have to be a complete hindrance.

Jet lag is an opportunity to push yourself out of your comfort zone and explore new places on little sleep. It's a chance to challenge yourself and see how much you can accomplish despite feeling exhausted.

It's also a great way to adjust to new time zones quickly and make the most of your travels. So don't let jet lag get you down – embrace it as part of the adventure!

You can make the most of your trips and turn jet lag into an adventure.

49. "My passport gets more stamps than a postcard factory." - Anonymous

When we travel to different countries, our passports become a symbol of our exploration and adventure. Every stamp is another story, another travel memory, and another chance to explore a new culture and way of life.

Having a passport filled with stamps is an accomplishment in itself – it shows that you have taken the time to explore and experience new places.

This anonymous quote perfectly sums up the idea of a passport filled with stamps, likening it to a postcard factory. With each new stamp, we are sending a message about our travels and experiences. Every passport is unique and a reflection of its owner's journey.

No matter where you have been or how many stamps you have in your passport, the value lies in the entire experience and the memories you’ve made along the way.

This quote reminds us that, no matter how many countries we visit, there is always more to explore. So don't be afraid to keep adding stamps – the world is your oyster!

50. "Traveling is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." - Forrest Gump

We never know what to expect or where the journey will take us. While it can be nerve-wracking to not know what lies ahead, there is also something exciting about not knowing what’s around the corner.

Traveling is a great way to break out of our routine and try something new. We get to explore unknown places, meet new people, and experience different cultures.

This quote from Forrest Gump explains that traveling is a bit like opening a box of chocolates – you never know what you're going to get. Every day is an adventure waiting to happen, and that's why we love it.

Traveling also teaches us valuable lessons. We learn how to be resourceful and flexible, how to adjust to different cultures, and how to appreciate what we have at home.

It gives us a new perspective on life and encourages us to step outside of our comfort zone.

No matter where you go or what you experience, traveling can be an eye-opening experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Hopefully, with these whimsical travel quotes, you will be inspired to go on your next adventure and create memories that will last forever.

10 Unique Travel Quotes to Inspire Your Next Trip

This post contains affiliate links. 

Are you looking for unique travel quotes?

Usually when I Google this phrase the same 10 quotes from Pinterest show up about a thousand times each.

We get it, the world is a book and those who don’t travel read only one page. A ship is safe in harbor but that’s not what they’re built for. I know.

Unfortunately, these travel quotes are actually good but they lose absolutely all of their meaning and impact when you see them over and over and over again.

I’m not going to lie, ever since I was a kid I’ve loved quotes, and discovering beautiful ones has always been something that I enjoy. If you’re looking for unique travel quotes for your blog posts, Instagram account, or just some good old fashioned inspiration, this list is for you.

They’re all made with love into bite-sized Pinterest graphics so they’re super easy to share as well. Scroll through, check ’em out, and then comment below to let me know which ones are your favorite.

120 of the Best Travel Quotes

November 30, 2021 By Karla Bailey 9 Comments

Sharing is caring!

One of the best travel quotes is:

“Everyone likes travel quotes” – Matthew Bailey

That’s right. I just started an article about the best travel quotes by making up my own quote…about a quote.

Isn’t it true though? There’s something beautiful about a good quote, whether it be about travel or not. A great quote is often inspiring, funny, or just has a special poetic way of summing up a unique feeling in just a few words.

Quotes can inspire us to make a change in our lives and can provide some meaning for experiences we’ve had. Quotes can be funny, entertaining, and can bring a slice of joy to our lives.

In this article, I’ve researched a number of websites and books to pick some of the best travel quotes that you can use to inspire your next trip or adventure or for your life in general. Maybe you can use them to sum up the experiences you’ve already had.

Although it can be very hard to separate the quotes into specific types, I’ve tried my best to put them into categories as a way to make them easier to read. Without making up a category for blocks of quotes, it can be quite difficult to read through them and even harder to come back to your favourite one from time to time. By separating them out, it’ll make it easier for you to follow this article and return.

I hope you enjoy this list of 120 travel quotes.

My 15 Favourite Quotes about Travel

Let’s start with my personal favourites. I’ve always loved quotes, whether travel-related or not. It can be really tough to pick the ones I love the best, but these are the ones that stood out the most.

On of my favourite quotes about travel is "life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

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

The first blog I created, which is now called Live Limitless , has this quote embedded in the hero image, which is my bungy jumping in Washington. It’s a quote I live by and I can truly say that all of the best memories and adventures I’ve created came from pushing past my comfort zone.

2. “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 quote is often attributed to Mark Twain, but it’s actually from author H. Jackson Browne Jr. in his book PS I Love You, about letters written to his mom. Think back on your own life and I think you’ll quickly see how true this quote really is. People always regret things they didn’t do.

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

The world is the greatest book there is. So many stories. So many characters. But if you don’t travel, it’s like being stuck on the first page.

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

This is another one I can firmly attest to. There are many people out there who think everything is dangerous. Whether it’s travelling to a developing country, sky-diving, scuba diving, or even a simple hike, they shy away from it while calling it “dangerous”, not realizing how dangerous it is to just sit at home. Either way, life passes you by.

5. “When was the last time you did something for the first time?” – Anonymous

I love this quote because it’s a question you can ask yourself each day and it doesn’t just apply to travel. Novelty is the spice of life. One of the very first things I did to get beyond my comfort zone was to simply sign up for salsa dancing lessons. It didn’t require me to board a plane or spend lots of money, but that “first time experience” led to many more “first times”. I learned to say “yes” to anything that sparked my curiosity.

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

How true is this? As human beings, we seem hardwired to focus on what could go wrong. We worry about things that will likely never happen. What if we switched that around?

7. “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” – Gandhi

This is also a very true quote. Talk is cheap. Anyone can say things, but only those who act can really inspire a movement.

8. “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” – George Bernard Shaw

I find this quote to be so inspiring in today’s world. Well, at any time really. Too many people go through life waiting to “find” themselves. To find meaning. That’s not how it works. You create yourself. If you want to be a certain someone one year from now, create a plan to get you there. That’s how you find yourself.

Inspiring Quotes For Travel

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

This quote stands out because it’s exactly how I felt when I returned home after a 6-month solo journey to Australia and Indonesia back in 2009. It really did change me. Everything at home was exactly the same but it felt so different. It took me a while to figure out what it was. It was me. I was different.

10. “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” – Mae West

What’s great about this quote is that it fits with something almost everyone says from time to time. Life is short. We’ve all heard that. But what’s really important is making those years count.

11. “Death is more universal than life. Everyone dies, but not everyone lives.“ – Andrew Sachs

How true is this? I know so many people who went through life without actually living. It’s a miracle to be alive when you think about it. Do you really want to waste it?

12. “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

As an avid traveller, I really resonated with this. Travel has opened me up in so many ways but it has also broken my heart. Seeing street dogs and cats roaming the streets in search of food, seeing kids begging for change, or just seeing people that really were just born into bad circumstances truly breaks my heart. It hurts to see but I think it’s better for society if we realize it exists.

13. “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

This is easier said than done, but wouldn’t life so much better if we could stop taking so many things for granted? This is one of the things I’ve loved about long-term travel. Every day feels like an adventure. Doing something as simple as taking a taxi feels exciting. What if we could format the mind to think like this on a daily basis. That’s how you slow down life.

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

This is such a great quote by Indian novelist Anita Desai. Whatever we do becomes a part of us. We’re all shaped by our experiences. After a decade of travel and adventure, I can tell you that I am a completely different person than I was as a teenager. Each experience and adventure will shape you for the better. Get out there and explore.

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

I hesitated to add this one because I didn’t find it that “inspiring” at first. It’s also not something I recommend in certain situations. But as I thought about it, I think it can apply to all situations as a mindset. Yes, if you can drink with locals, it’s a great way to “break the ice” and truly experience a culture. But even if the actual task of drinking is not suitable, the main takeaway is to really sit down with locals and have a good time. Maybe it’s dancing, playing a game, or just sitting around drinking tea and sharing stories, take it all in.

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

Yes. Yes. Yes. If you’re not willing to leave your biases at home and truly engage with different cultures, perhaps you should stick to watching movies.

Travel Quotes with Friends

Travel is great solo but it can also be very rewarding to do with friends and family. Here are some of my favourite travel quotes with friends.

When it comes to travel quotes with friends, my favourite is: "It doesn't matter where you're going, it's who you have beside you."

16. “Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.” – Hemmingway

Can you imagine going somewhere beautiful with someone you don’t care for? What a waste of time.

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

This is such a great quote that can be applied to life in general. Also, the opposite is true. If you hang out with bad people, everywhere you go will suck.

18. “Happiness is only real when shared.” – Christopher McCandless

This is one of my favourite quotes from the movie Into the Wild. It’s a true quote written by Christopher McCandless after living in a bus in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness. While I do think there are plenty of great solo happiness moments, it is sort of true that if you have no one to ever share it with, what’s the point?

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

This one is not directly related to travelling with friends but it’s such a true statement for people who travel the world with open minds. Too often, fear makes “enemies” out of people we actually have a lot in common with. Travel breaks this down quickly.

20. “The man who goes alone can start today, but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.” – Henry David Thoreau

This quote is perhaps the opposite of this category but I wanted to share it because it really applies to my first big adventure overseas. Travelling with a good friend or loved one is amazing, but all too often, people put off their big dreams to wait for others. Don’t do this. I did this for many years and finally, I got the nerve to just go alone. It was one of the best things I ever did.

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

This is also such a great quote. You can travel the world endlessly, but if in the end, you didn’t even make any friends, was it even worth it? Meet the people where you travel and enjoy friendships from around the world.

60. “So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality, nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. 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. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.” – Jon Krakauer

61. “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.

Meghan Markle Spends International Women's Day at SXSW

The Duchess of Sussex is in Austin, Texas!

2024 sxsw conference and festival breaking barriers, shaping narratives how women lead on and off the screen

Meghan Markle is in Texas!

"We are so honored to host this distinguished group on International Women’s Day for a significant discussion on the importance of representation in media and entertainment," Hugh Forrest, Co-President and Chief Programming Officer, said in a statement.

For the occasion, Meghan wore a chic champagne button down blouse with subtle stripes and matching maxi skirt by Giuliva Heritage, along with chunky gold Botega Veneta Knot earrings, and pale Valentino Roman Stud flat mules.

"On a personal level, I’ve just always loved understanding women and our stories and our lived experiences," Meghan said, speaking to her interest in the depictions of women in media. The duchess went on to discuss the value of diversity in the media landscape, her experiences with social media bullying—"I keep my distance from it right now just for my own well-being,"—and the future of women in media. Calling back to her friend and feminist icon Gloria Steinem, Meghan called her an inspiration, adding, "Whether you’re a 9 year old girl or a 90 year old woman, you can absolutely continue to make the change that we all need."

The keynote panel about women on and off the screen comes on the heels of the announcement that Meghan signed a new podcast deal with Lemonada Media . "I'm proud to now be able to share that I am joining the brilliant team at Lemonada to continue my love of podcasting," the Duchess of Sussex said in a statement. "Being able to support a female founded company with a roster of thought provoking and highly entertaining podcasts is a fantastic way to kick off 2024." Her former Spotify podcast, Archetypes , is now on all podcast platforms (before it was a Spotify exclusive), and her new podcast is currently in the works.

The appearance in Austin marks Meghan's first major U.S. event this year. Last month, she and Prince Harry traveled to British Columbia for three days of engagements marking one year to go until the 2025 Invictus Games .
