Long family travel quotes

“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 even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”

– Bill Bryson

“Children have always travelled, and because they are young and bright and full of contradictions, they haven’t always restricted their travel to the possible.

– Seanan McGuire

Quotes about life lessons and world schooling

In many ways, deciding to travel with school-aged kids is a big leap of faith. Swapping routine for the great unknown isn’t an easy decision – but it almost always pays dividends.

I’m lucky enough to come from a family where my parents viewed travel as an important part of our upbringing. Immersing yourself in a different culture , hands-on history lessons, learning a new language – these are just some of the incredibly enriching life experiences that can come from travel.

Not to mention all the wonderful lessons you learn about yourself (and your family members) when you’re pushed out of your comfort zone!

No matter how old you are, travel is an important educational experience. These quotes about life lessons and world schooling illustrate how beneficial family travel can be to shaping young minds in particular.

“Ideally, travel broadens our perspectives personally, culturally, and politically. Suddenly, the palette with which we paint the story of our lives has more colours.”

“If we experienced life through the eyes of a child, everything would be magical and extraordinary. Let our curiosity, adventure and wonder of life never end.”

I’m firmly of the belief that travel is a privilege. Giving the gift of travel to your children is one of the most important and generous things a parent can do. Travel is a way to discover the world, but it’s also a way to form stronger bonds with those most important to you.

Young kids might not realise it now, but the travel experiences you create for them are almost guaranteed to leave a lasting impression into adulthood.

Just be careful how much of a passion for travel you end up cultivating – having now lived abroad for 5 years, I’m sure my parents wish I hadn’t grown up to be quite so interested in travel!

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

– Hodding Carter

– Og Mandino

– Nicholas Sparks

Quotes that prove travel makes family bonds stronger

Travel is, in my opinion, the most rewarding thing you can do – but it also has a way of throwing you head-first into difficult situations. Learning to navigate foreign terrain with your family – to negotiate and to work together towards a common goal – is an equally important part of travel.

These beautiful family travel quotes highlight the importance of relationships and show how journeys taken together can strengthen those family bonds.

“The mud will wash off but the memories will last a lifetime.”

“Have you ever noticed how parents can go from the most wonderful people in the world to totally embarrassing in three seconds?”

– Rick Riordan

Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.’ – Bill Bryson

Hence, this selection of top family travel quotes sprinkled with some fun vacation quotes.

Short travel quotes that will – eventually – make me fulfill my dream of relocating

Let me let you in on a little secret: I dream of relocating to some place tropical, enjoying a slower-paced life so that we can fully enjoy our precious family moments in a new setting. Just to learn how it feels to start over someplace new, to immerse ourselves in a new culture and to explore new grounds much more thoroughly than a vacation allows.

But that’s the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don’t want to know what people are talking about. I can’t think of anything that excited 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 a rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t even reliably cross the street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses. Bill Bryson

Children have always travelled, and because they are young and bright and full of contradictions, they haven’t always restricted their travel to the possible. Children follow the foxes, and open the wardrobes, and peek beneath the bridge. Children climb the walls and fall down the wells and run the razor’s edge of possibility until sometimes, just sometimes, the possible surrenders and show them the way to go home. Seanan McGuire

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.

Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses. Bill Bryson

I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway… let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves. JoyBell C

If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in. Rachel Carson

Family vacation quotes funny

Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life. John Muir

Life is about the adventures you take and the memories you make. So travel often and live life with open eyes and an open heart. Anonymous

Listen to the must not, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’t, the impossibles, the wont’s. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me. Anything can happen, child. Anything can be. Shel Silverstein

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

The most beautiful things in life are not things. They are people, places, memories, and pictures. They are feelings and moments, smiles and laughter. Anonymous

Through travel, I first became aware of the outside world; it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it. Eudora Welty

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition, to know that even one life has breathed better because you have lived, this is to have succeeded. Ralph Waldo Emerson

We finally move into our destiny when we understand that we are to live in and as adventurous play. Perhaps the whole natural world is a party, a festival, and we, the long-awaited champagne. Brian Swimme

We have such a brief opportunity to pass on to our children our love for this Earth and to tell our stories. These are the moments when the world is made whole. In my children’s memories, the adventures we’ve had together in nature will always exist. Richard Louv

What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do – especially in other people’s minds. When you’re travelling, 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

I've visited 93 countries, 57 of them with kids. These 5 underrated spots are great places to enjoy with your family.

  • Karen Edwards has traveled to 93 countries, and 57 of them have been with her young children.

  • Her favorites include Tanzania for its safari tours and Abu Dhabi for its vibrant festival scene.

Insider Today

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Karen Edwards , who blogs about her family's travels around the world. The following has been edited for length and clarity.

Since 2000, I've visited 93 countries and 57 of them have been with my four children who are all under the age of 10.

I am a nurse by background, but I have been blogging about traveling with my husband and kids since 2014. I cover a lot of off-the-beaten-track destinations and write itineraries for places I've been to, explaining how they work for families with children.

Many popular family destinations tend to be overcrowded. They're usually the ones that get a lot of media exposure or are shown in viral videos on social media. In America, it'd be places like Disneyland in California or Disney World in Florida, while for Europeans, it might be some of the Spanish resort areas.

Although my family and I have visited these places, we have always come away disappointed. They often lack educational experiences, feeling like pointless affairs.

I think traveling to underrated spots makes trips feel more exclusive and you can learn more about the cultures of the countries you visit — it also keeps you away from tourist traps.

We went on a safari tour in Tanzania

Our family visited Tanzania in 2019 in collaboration with a tourism brand. We were there for 12 days.

Our flights to the country were kind of expensive; we paid about $9,000 for our then-family of four, including a stop in Zanzibar at the end of the trip for a few days. However, overall, the entire trip didn't end up costing us that much.

We had some really unique experiences in Tanzania. We went to Mto Wa Mbu village , which is beneath a banana plantation, and we went on a safari tour in its Lake Manyara National Park .

Interestingly, Tanzania is one of the few places in the world where lions are known to climb trees. I remember seeing them sit in tall trees; it was quite unusual, but my kids really enjoyed how close they were to the animals.

Throughout our trip, we actually felt like we were experiencing life in Tanzania. Our campsite was on a river's edge in the depths of nature. It was nice not to feel surrounded by tourists.

My kids fell in love with Abu Dhabi's culture

Many people mistakenly believe that Dubai is a country, but in reality, it's a city in the United Arab Emirates, with Abu Dhabi being its capital.

My family and I moved to Abu Dhabi in 2021 and lived there for 18 months. The city does have a lot of similarities to glitzy and glam Dubai , but you get a more down-to-earth experience.

There are amazing festivals in Abu Dhabi where they display their culture in different formats, whether that be through local food or crafts. It does feel authentic because it's usually mainly locals participating and organizing them.

The city is also 1.5 hours away from Al Ain, which sits at the foot of  Jebel Hafeet , one of the tallest mountains in the region. Along the way up, you'll find many ancient artifacts, such as beehive huts, which have been there for thousands of years. At the top, you can watch incredible sunsets.

Related stories

The city also has the Al Ain Oasis , which uses an ancient irrigation system. It has these beautiful paved pathways that look like cobbled streets.

My kids loved Abu Dhabi and are constantly asking me to go back — they really liked all the cultural celebrations.

We love Sri Lanka so much, we're building a villa there

In 2022, my family and I moved to Sri Lanka from Abu Dhabi. We thought we'd have more family time here, and it was going to be an affordable place to live.

We're building a family-friendly villa here that should be completed by August. The area where we are building has a lot of nice cafes, bars, and restaurants nearby.

Overall, Sri Lanka is an amazing country that has so many diverse experiences. There are tea plantations, mountains, and beaches. As for wildlife, their national parks have loads of elephants and leopards.

On one occasion, we went on a safari boat tour to an isolated national park where we watched elephants swim across a lake and onto a tiny island. It was amazing.

The beaches in Sri Lanka are pristine. They have beautiful scenery with swaying coconut palm trees, clear water, and perfect waves. Our favorite is Kabalana Beach .

Because we're always on the beach, my children have learned how to surf. I think it's the most fun thing that we do on the weekends as a family.

The ski resorts and spas are amazing in Andorra

We visited Andorra in 2018 for about six days. It's a tiny country nestled in the Pyrenees between Spain. It's a two-hour drive from Barcelona and three hours from Toulouse, France.

The city has a unique fusion of cultures, though I think Catalonian is the strongest influence. During our trip, my family and I toured many ancient churches.

We also went to some amazing spas and resorts in Andorra. The hotel and ski system there is really family-friendly.

During our visit to the Grandvalira ski resort , my daughter learned how to ski and my husband got to snowboard — the resort has a kindergarten at the foot of its mountain, where kids can play or ski.

Andorra also has amazing spa facilities that are suitable for families and are sectioned off for different age groups.

Our trip was in collaboration with Andorra's tourism board, but I feel like it wasn't overly expensive in comparison to some other places around the world.

I was treated like family in Macedonia

Macedonia is a Balkan country just north of Greece. I haven't been there with children, but I wouldn't have any issues taking my kids there.

It has many beautiful small villages and it's great for skiing too.

The country is also home to one of the oldest and deepest lakes in Europe named Lake Orchid, which borders Albania. There's this beautiful, small village on the lake that has charming restaurant and a lovely atmosphere for relaxing and enjoying good food.

I visited the country in 2008, and then again in 2012 with my then-boyfriend and now-husband.

The first time I visited, I went with two girlfriends, and we were backpackers. We arrived in the middle of the night by bus and had no idea what we were doing. The bus driver just made a call, and a stranger came and picked us up in his car — I thought I was going to die.

The opposite happened. He took us back to his home with his family, and we stayed there with them for a few days. We ended up extending the trip because he and his family were so amazing.

They didn't speak a word of English, and we couldn't speak a word of their language either. We'd just gesture at each other, and they'd give us food and red wine.

I just totally fell in love with them and their country.
