• 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.
![quotes about value of travel](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

![quotes about value of travel Maine Lighthouses](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/DJI_0370.jpg)
• 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
![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](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

![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/DSCF0545-2.jpg)
• Travel With Friends Quotes
A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. — Tim Cahill

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
![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel](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.
![quotes about value of travel](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/DSCF7530-4.jpg)
Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.
I’m a big believer in winging it. I’m a big believer that you’re never going to find the perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one. Letting the happy accident happen is what a lot of vacation itineraries miss, I think, and I’m always trying to push people to allow those things to happen rather than stick to some rigid itinerary.
Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonalds? … I know what I want. I want it all. I want to try everything once.
![quotes about value of travel](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.
![quotes about value of travel](https://theworldtravelguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/DSCF5929.jpg)
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.
![quotes about value of travel](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.
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.

95 most inspirational travel quotes ever penned
Our favourite inspirational travel quotes have encouraged us to travel with abandon over the years. Perhaps they will do the same for you…
For us, there is no such thing as luxury travel; travel is, by default, a luxury. It is a privilege provided by the country of our birth, a privilege that many are not as fortunate to enjoy.
Sometimes, we have to pinch ourselves at just how ridiculous our lives have become: an ex-teacher and jobbing writer travelling the world for a living. It is absurd, it is astonishing, it is luxury.
When I first went travelling at 21 years old, my father gave me this quote scrawled on a piece of card.

It infused me with wanderlust. It encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone, make the most of my time, see the world and enjoy the freedom that comes with being on the road. It remains one of the most inspirational travel quotes I’ve read (even if Twain did not actually say it).
Today, 20 years and almost 100 countries later, it’s still in my wallet. Despite its tattered and dishevelled appearance, it’s every bit as important to me now as it was then.
With that in mind, we’ve collated our most beloved inspirational travel quotes to encourage readers to “explore, dream and discover” for themselves.

“The journey not the arrival matters.” – T.S. Eliot
T.S. Eliot reminds us that the magic happens along the open road, with each twist and turn expanding our horizons – not just upon reaching the destination. Travel is about embracing the process, not the outcome.
The Essential Expedition: Quotes About Why Travel Matters
“travel is never a matter of money, but of courage.” – paulo coehlo.
While finances impact possibilities, at its core, travel demands the courage to venture beyond the familiar and comfortable. As Coehlo says, daring to explore opens our lives and selves.
“If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and avoid the people, you might better stay home.” – James Michener
Michener makes clear that keeping an open mind and embracing cultural differences are prerequisites for meaningful travel that fosters human kinship.
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustinus
By absorbing the diversity of life in unfamiliar realms, we enrich our perspectives and grayscale turns technicolor. Staying put closes the book while travel turns every page.
May these quotes ignite your lifelong quest to boldly venture beyond horizons, open minds to humanity’s mosaic, and discover more authentic selves. Keep collecting inspiring passages to reflect upon while lacing up your boots before the next journey that calls you.

Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” – Mark Jenkins

1. “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” ~ Saint Augustine
![quotes about value of travel 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
![quotes about value of travel quotes about value of travel](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
![quotes about value of travel 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
![quotes about value of travel 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
![quotes about value of travel Mark twain traveling Quotes](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-mark-twain-1.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel 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
![quotes about value of travel Travel quotes and inspiration by Gustave Flaubert](https://theplanetd.com/images/Best-Travel-Quotes-travel-makes-one-modest-712x1067.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel quotes about travel - Be inspired by this list of the most inspiring quotes of all time](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-about-love.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel Benjamin Disraeli Inspirational quotes about travel](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-like-all-great-travel.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel best travel quotes Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta](https://theplanetd.com/images/best-travel-quotes-leaves-you-speachless-854x1067.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel Adventure travel quotes by Paul Coelho](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-its-lethal.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel Traveling Quotes about Adventure](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-comfort-zones.jpg)
It’s true! Of all the travel quotes in this list, I really feel that this one rings true to life. Even if you are not traveling, you need to step out of your comfort zone.
Whether you’re 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
![quotes about value of travel Famous Quotes about travel by Maya Angelou](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-maya-angeloou.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel Babas Hoffman Inspirational travel quotes](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-potholes-640x960.jpg)
This doesn’t have to a quote 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.”
![quotes about value of travel 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.”
![quotes about value of travel Best Quotes About Traveling life begins at the end of your comfort zone](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-comfort-zone.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel 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.
21. “Don’t worry about the world ending today, it’s already tomorrow in Australia.” ~ Charles M. Schulz
![quotes about value of travel funny quotes charles m schulz](https://theplanetd.com/images/funny-quotes-charles-schulz.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel be inspired by theses funny traveling quotes | john steinbeck](https://theplanetd.com/images/quotes-about-travel-funny-2.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel antony bordain travel quote | drink heavily](https://theplanetd.com/images/Antohny-bordain-travel-quote.jpg)
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.

![quotes about value of travel bob hope funny travel quote](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-washington-dc.jpg)
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
![quotes about value of travel 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!

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

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

![quotes about value of travel Travel quotes that are Inspirational](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-go-see.jpg)
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”
![quotes about value of travel 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”
![quotes about value of travel 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)
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
![quotes about value of travel best travel quotes dr suess oh the places you'll go](https://theplanetd.com/images/Best-Travel-Quotes-dr-seuss.jpg)
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.
![quotes about value of travel traveling quotes | lifes a journey not a destination](https://theplanetd.com/images/funny-traveling-quotes-3.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.
51. “Where to next?”

![quotes about value of travel Travel Quotes - To Travel is to Live by Hans Christian Anderson](https://theplanetd.com/images/travel-quotes-hans-christian-anderson.jpg)
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”
![quotes about value of travel 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.

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!

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.

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.”

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.

“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.

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!

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.

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.

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

The 100 Best Inspirational Travel Quotes to Spark Your Next Adventure
![quotes about value of travel Inspirational Travel Quotes](https://greenglobaltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Inspirational-Travel-Quotes.jpg)
Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links. All hosted affiliate links follow our editorial policies .
I was a voracious reader when I was growing up, typically reading two books a week on average.
My lower-middle class family didn’t have the money to do much in the way of traveling, outside of the occasional camping trip in North Georgia . Both my parents worked, and my dad worked multiple jobs to support his family of five.
The furthest we ever traveled was a trip to visit my godparents in Virginia when I was 14. So instead I read books about travel and adventure long before I had the financial means to start taking adventures of my own.
It was the written word that originally fueled my travel dreams, from Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island and Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Books to Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea .
It was through Henry David Thoreau’s Walden , John Muir’s Our National Parks , and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Nature that I developed a passion for the environment. Without them, who knows if I would’ve become the advocate for ecotourism and wildlife conservation I am today.
And when I finally started traveling, the work of travel writers such as Jon Krakauer , Bill Bryson and Paul Theroux greatly influenced the way I did it.
But the first classic quote I remember having a significant impact on me came in the form of a Robert Frost poem: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.” This idea influenced many of my choices, setting me on the path to becoming a full-time professional writer in my twenties.
For me, these inspirational travel quotes aren’t just words: They are the distillation of a philosophy that continues to drive my life and work today. I hope they will prove equally influential for you… –Bret Love; photos by Bret Love & Mary Gabbett

101 of the Best Travel Quotes to Inspire Amazing Adventures
I’ve put together 101 of the best travel quotes as a reminder, motivation, and remembrance for the reasons why we travel.
I’m not just talking about the sightseeing and beach vacations. Travel is about the journey as much as the beautiful destination.
We learn about the world by experiencing new cultures and ways of living, in turn learning about ourselves.
I’ve been traveling the world for a few years – Will has been traveling for over 9 years – and the rest of the Broke Backpacker crew has put quite a dent in their passports too. I think these awesome quotes about traveling highlight some of the magnificent journeys and lessons we’ve experienced along the way.
Why? Because Travel quotes provide inspiration and capture truths about travel, adventure, and life.
Just like travel, words have the power to open our minds to completely new perspectives, which is why I hope this collection of quotes about travel and powerful words will inspire you to get out there and experience some adventurous travel yourself.
101 Best Travel Quotes
Some last words….
From funny travel quotes to inspiring words from legends past and present, here are the 101 best:
1. Travel makes you realize that no matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn.” – Nyssa P. Chopra, The Cultureur

2. We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” – Anonymous
This is one of my favorite quotes about traveling. A lot of people think that one travels to escape life, or that long-term travelers are running away from reality. The way I see it – sure – maybe vacations are a quick escape from the real world, but traveling is a way to embrace life’s grandest adventures. Traveling is a way for life not to escape us.
3. “Travel doesn’t become adventure until you leave yourself behind.” – Marty Rubin

4. “To the tourist, travel is a means to an end; to the traveler, it’s an end in itself.” – Marty Rubin
5. “to live is to travel, on a voyage more epic than the odysseys of myth – not from place to place, but through the poignant strangeness of time.” – t.l rese.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 2](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-2.png)
6. “Travel often; Getting lost will help you find yourself.” – Holstee Manifesto
Some of my best travel experiences were not necessarily butterflies and rainbows. Sometimes they were uncomfortable and painful. Sometimes I have quite literally gotten lost, but in the end, these experiences have helped me find myself.
I think that is what traveling is often about: finding – or at least rediscovering – aspects of yourself.
7. “Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel’s immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way.” – Ralph Crawshaw
8. “a man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.” – george a. moore, 9. “sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.” – drake.
This is one of the most important travel quotes. Doesn’t matter how long you’re traveling for, you’ll see new cultures, open your mind and change your way of thinking – even if it’s just a little bit. Traveling shows us sides of the world but also about yourself that you’ve never seen before. Having a different view on things helped a lot of people when it comes to making hard decisions.
10. “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture are like a tree without roots.” – Marcus Garvey
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 3](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-3.png)
11. Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comforts of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things. -air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky. -all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” – Cesare Pavese
I love this traveling the world quote from Cesare Pavese. Having been on the road for the last few years, he nailed my experience spot on. Nothing is certain – except air, sleep, the sea, the sky – but that is what traveling is about: embracing the unknown and trusting the process. The way I see it, the only thing for certain is what is happening in the now.
12. “Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.” – Jawaharlal Nehru
13. “culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs.” – thomas wolfe, 14. “traveling — it gives you home in a thousand strange places, then leaves you a stranger in your own land.” – ibn battuta.
This is one of the most beautiful travel quotes. Meeting so many new people, making new friends and even finding a second family, has to be one of the best aspects of traveling. Having traveled quite a bit, I can say that having multiple homes is definitely an amazing feeling, although it can also create some distance between you and your original home.
15. “Culture is a way of coping with the world by defining it in detail.” – Malcolm Bradbury
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 4](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-4.png)
16. “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”- Ibn Battuta
Probably one of the best travel quotes I’ve heard – the play on words, the sincerity, and the capture of what it means to travel. Traveling will undoubtedly leave you speechless, surprised, and lost for words, but those words will be found, and you will have epic stories to tell.
18. “To travel is to take a journey into yourself.” – Danny Kaye
19. “every journey is personal. every journey is spiritual. you can’t compare them, can’t replace, can’t repeat. you can bring back the memories but they only bring tears to your eyes.” – diana ambarsari, 20. “the perfect journey is never finished, the goal is always just across the next river, round the shoulder of the next mountain. there is always one more track to follow, one more mirage to explore.” – rosita forbes, 21. “travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.” – ella maillart.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 5](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-5.png)
22. “Remember that happiness is a way of travel – not a destination.” – Roy M. Goodman
I think this is one of my favorite quotes about travel. Having been to 30 or so countries, and plenty of destinations among them, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that happiness does not come from beautiful destinations any more than the concept that money can buy happiness…
It’s easy to assume that if money can’t buy happiness, surely experiences can, but you can be in the most beautiful place on earth having some crazy experience, and not be happy. We tend to always be in search of the next big thing – the most beautiful beach or bigger mountain – without realizing that it is the journey there that matters, not the destination.
Happiness is hard to define of course, but I think happiness lies in your outlook and present state of mind. To be happy is to be in the present moment, no matter what you own or where you are.
![quotes about value of travel quotes about value of travel](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/487201/exploding-suitcase-packing-cube-sack-plug-800x800.jpg)
Wanna know how to pack like a pro? Well for a start you need the right gear….
These are packing cubes for the globetrotters and compression sacks for the real adventurers – these babies are a traveller’s best kept secret. They organise yo’ packing and minimise volume too so you can pack MORE.
Or, y’know… you can stick to just chucking it all in your backpack…
23. “What gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we all have.” – Elizabeth Benedict
24. “we must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.” – john hope franklin, 25. “though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.” – ralph waldo emerson.
Walking on the globe with your head down will never open up all views and beautiful things to see. In order to enjoy traveling, you have to keep your mind and heart open, accept different cultures and traditions and simply try to adapt. Keep a positive mindset and you’ll see the beauty of the world.
26. “Real traveling is not about visiting places but about ‘re-visiting’ our inner-self.” – Sorrab Singha
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 6](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-6.png)
27. “Travel not to find yourself, but to remember who you’ve been all along.” – Unknown
Both of these travel quotes (#26 and #27) encapsulate that sometimes we travel to learn more about ourselves. A large aspect of traveling is, of course, visiting places, but sometimes you end up visiting parts of yourself too.
28. “Travelling expands the mind rarely.” – Hans Christian Andersen
29. “traveling outgrows its motives. it soon proves sufficient in itself. you think you are making a trip, but soon it is making you – or unmaking you.” – nicolas bouvier, 30. it is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.” – ursula k. le guin, 31. “the best journeys are the ones that answer questions that at the outset you never even thought to ask.” – rick ridgeway.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 9](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-9.png)
32. “You thought too hard. Same with travel. You can’t work too much at it, or it feels like work. You have to surrender yourself to the chaos. To the accidents.” – Gayle Forman
This is one of my favorite travel quotes! It reminds me of something I read in the book Shantaram , about an ex-convict on the run and his adventures in India. In the book, he was given similar advice: to surrender to India and accept his experience for what it was.
You have to surrender to the chaos and enjoy/endure the experiences as they come. While this is applicable to many aspects of life, it is definitely applicable to travel. You can’t try to force itineraries and plans or work hard to fulfill some high expectations in your mind. Doing so will only tire and disappoint you.
![quotes about value of travel Active Roots Security Belt](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/179512/amazon-active-roots-security-belt-800x800.jpg)
Stash your cash safely with this money belt. It will keep your valuables safely concealed, no matter where you go.
It looks exactly like a normal belt except for a SECRET interior pocket perfectly designed to hide a wad of cash, a passport photocopy or anything else you may wish to hide. Never get caught with your pants down again! (Unless you want to…)
33. “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
34. “travel has a way of making the world a much smaller place.” – janna graber, 35. “life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.” – oliver goldsmith, 36. “focus on the journey, not the destination. joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” – greg anderson.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 7](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-7.png)
37. “Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection.” – Lawrence Durrell
I can relate to this quote about travel quite well actually. The longer and more that I travel, the more I find myself self-analyzing and observing my own thought and emotional processes.
Traveling has a funny way of throwing you out into the world with the intention of discovering more about everything around you, only to realize you will discover far more about yourself. It is why traveling can be the most rewarding form of introspection.
38. “You develop a sympathy for all human beings when you travel a lot.” – Shakuntala Devi
39. “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, 40. “travel and change of place impart new vigour to the mind.” – seneca, 41. “a man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints.” – wilfred peterson.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 8](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-8.png)
42. “It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.” – Ernest Hemingway
I can relate to these words quite a bit as I try to find the balance between preparing and planning for the future, reaching goals, and just enjoying the ride and staying present in the moment.
Having goals and an endpoint in sight is good; however, I don’t think it will be as satisfying if you don’t enjoy the moments that take you there. If you only focus on the destination you’ll miss everything that matters – the journey along the way.
43. “All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.” – Martin Buber
44. “life is a magical journey, so travel endlessly to unfold its profound and heart touching beauty.” – debasish mridha, 45. “good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.”- izaak walton.
Whether it’s long, annoying bus trips, a shabby hostel or simply somewhere you don’t necessarily feel comfortable, it’s always better to have great company by your side. Going through the rough times together makes the whole experience more endurable.
46. “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
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 10](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-10-683x1024.png)
47. “With age, comes wisdom. With travel, comes understanding.” – Sandra Lake
I love this quote about traveling. With age, comes wisdom. Wisdom isn’t something you can read about, it is something you learn through experience. The same goes for travel. You can read and hear about places and people that are different than you, but sometimes it takes experiencing those places and meeting those people for yourself to truly understand them.
![quotes about value of travel Aether Backpack](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/713175/tbbteam-gear-aetherbackpack-eleven-800x800.jpg)

48. “Travel teaches toleration.” – Benjamin Disraeli
49. “travel opens your mind as few other things do. it is its own form of hypnotism, and i am forever under its spell.” – libya bray, 50. “half of the fun of travel is the aesthetic of lostness.” – ray bradbury, 51. “travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of the experience.” – francis bacon.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 11](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-11.png)
52. “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s OK. 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
Anthony Bourdain will always be remembered for his adventurous spirit and ability to share some of the most remote and fascinating corners of this planet with the rest of the world. His words ring true. Travel is not pretty, and it’s definitely not always comfortable.
Sometimes you’ll deal with awful buses and missed flights, sleep in strange places, be confronted with challenging and stressful situations, or encounter experiences that break your heart. But that’s okay because the journey will make you stronger, and ultimately make you a better person.
53. “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustav Flaubert
54. “it is always sad to leave a place to which one knows one will never return. such are the melancholies du voyage: perhaps they are one of the most rewarding things about traveling.” – gustave flaubert, 55. “all travel has its advantages. if the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. and if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.” – samuel johnson, 56. “uncertainty and anticipation are the joys of travel.” – ken hundert.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 14](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-14.png)
57. “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” – Dalai Lama
58. “investment in travel is an investment in yourself.” – matthew karsten.
Rather than investing in the latest technology, do yourself the favor and take yourself on a little trip. Clear your mind, learn new things and experience different cultures and people. You won’t regret it!
59. “Traveling carries with it the curse of being at home everywhere and yet nowhere, for wherever one is, some part of oneself remains on another continent.” – Margot Fonteyn
60. “certainly, 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, 61. “culture is the tacit agreement to let the means of subsistence disappear behind the purpose of existence. civilization is the subordination of the latter to the former.” – karl kraus.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 12](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-12.png)
62. “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” – Lao Tzu
63. “travel expands the mind and fills the gap.” – sheda savage.
There are so many things to see and learn. The more you know, the more open your mindset and view will be. If you feel like you’re missing someone, invest in yourself and go on a trip to experience new things – you won’t regret it, we promise!

64. “Traveling is almost like talking with men of other centuries.” – René Descartes
65. “if you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.” – cesare pavese, 66. “of the gladdest moments in human life, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands.” – richard francis burton.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 15](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-15.png)
67. “Travel is not really about leaving our homes, but leaving our habits.” – Pico Iyer
68. “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, 69. “i soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.” – lillian smith, 70. “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, 71. “conventional wisdom tells us… we take our baggage with us. i’m not so sure. travel, at its best, transforms us in ways that aren’t always apparent until we’re back home. sometimes we do leave our baggage behind, or, even better, it’s misrouted to cleveland and is never heard from again.” – eric weiner.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 16](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-16.png)
72. “The journey is part of the experience – an expression of the seriousness of one’s intent. One doesn’t take the A train to Mecca.” – Anthony Bourdain
73. “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, 74. “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, 75. “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, 76. “travel does what good novelists also do to the life of every day, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art.” – freya stark.
![quotes about value of travel Travel Quote 17](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Quote-17.png)
77. “The true fruit of travel is perhaps the feeling of being nearly everywhere at home.” – Freya Stark
78. “you will, if you’re wise and know the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the unknown and accept whatever comes in the spirit in which the gods may offer it.” – freya stark, 79. “when you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. it is designed to make its own people comfortable.” – clifton fadiman.
This another one of the most important travel quotes, especially in nowadays time. When traveling, always keep your mind open, be respectful towards other people and try new things. Just because your believes, expectations and values work for you, doesn’t mean that it works for others too. Watch, experience and keep the critical thoughts to yourself if you don’t want to make enemies in a different country.

I used to think all quotes were cliché. People would always mention them like overused pieces of advice to throw their wisdom at people. The thing is, all the quotes you keep hearing over and over don’t resonate with you. You need to find phrases that will inspire your heart and motivate your mind. You have to keep the ones that you can relate to and discard the ones you disagree with. Now I use quotes as an inspiring way to tell someone to follow their dreams.
As cliché as it sounds, life is short. Even if you always say that you want to travel, time gradually creeps up on you. So I hope that my favorite travel quotes will make you want to travel today because now is the time to pursue your travel goals.

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

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 78. “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 79. “If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and avoid the people, you might better stay home.” ― James A.

This quote metaphorically compares the world to a book, implying that there is so much to see, learn, and experience. Each place we visit is like turning a new page in the book, offering us a fresh perspective, new characters, unexpected twists and turns, and stories waiting to be discovered.
The second part of the quote, “those who do not travel read only one page,” suggests that if we don’t travel, we limit ourselves to the knowledge, experiences, and perspectives of just our immediate surroundings. We remain on a single page of the book, and consequently, our understanding of the world remains limited and narrow.
This quote can have a powerful, positive influence on our lives. It encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and explore the world, thereby broadening our horizons and enriching our understanding of the world. Travel can be transformative, promoting personal growth by building self-confidence, fostering tolerance, enhancing adaptability, and encouraging self-discovery. This quote acts as a reminder of the educational and transformative power of travel, nudging us towards embracing new experiences and learning from them.
This quote by Ibn Battuta, a famous Moroccan explorer, beautifully captures the profound impact of travel. The initial part, “Traveling – it leaves you speechless,” reflects the awe-inspiring moments we often experience when we encounter new places, cultures, and experiences. Travel can be overwhelming in the most positive way, presenting us with sights, sounds, and experiences that leave us momentarily without words, simply because they’re beyond anything we’ve known before.
The second part, “then turns you into a storyteller,” speaks to the transformative power of these experiences. Once we’ve processed the wonders we’ve seen and the experiences we’ve had, we naturally want to share them. We tell stories of our adventures, recounting the things we’ve seen, the people we’ve met, the lessons we’ve learned, and the experiences we’ve had. In this way, travel enriches not only our own lives but also those of the people we share our stories with.
This quote can inspire us to seek out those speechless moments that will later turn into our personal narratives. It encourages us to welcome new experiences, understanding that they broaden our perspective and deepen our connection with the world. Ultimately, it reminds us that travel isn’t just about seeing new places, but about the stories we bring back, the changes within us, and the richer understanding we gain of our world and our place within it.
This quote from Prophet Muhammad promotes travel as a path to both physical well-being and spiritual or mental sustenance. While the quote is succinct, its implications are profound and multi-faceted.
The first part of the quote suggests that travel can contribute to physical health. This may refer to the active nature of traveling, which often involves walking, hiking, or other physical activities that promote fitness. It could also refer to the mental health benefits of travel, such as reduced stress and increased happiness, which can in turn have positive effects on physical health.
The second part of the quote suggests that travel allows us to seek sustenance. In a literal sense, this might mean the pursuit of resources or opportunities that can provide for our physical needs. In a more figurative sense, ‘sustenance’ could refer to the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual nourishment we gain from new experiences, perspectives, and encounters during our travels. This could include personal growth, expanded worldviews, and increased understanding and appreciation of different cultures.
This quote can influence us positively by encouraging us to view travel not just as a leisure activity, but as a means of promoting our physical well-being and nourishing our minds and spirits. It invites us to see travel as an opportunity for growth, discovery, and rejuvenation, reminding us of the many benefits that travel can offer.
This profound quote from J.R.R. Tolkien’s poem “The Riddle of Strider” from “The Lord of the Rings” encapsulates a powerful idea about travel and life in general. The phrase suggests that wandering or traveling without a fixed destination doesn’t necessarily mean one is lost. It affirms the value of exploration, curiosity, and the willingness to venture into the unknown.
It’s common to equate wandering with being lost, but Tolkien reframes this notion, highlighting that many people choose to wander not because they’re lost, but because they’re explorers at heart. They seek to discover, learn, grow, and experience life outside of their regular, predictable patterns. They may not have a specific destination in mind, but their wandering is purposeful and meaningful.
This quote can be highly influential in a positive way, as it encourages an open-minded and adventurous approach to life. It reassures us that it’s okay not to have everything figured out and that there is value and joy to be found in the journey itself. It teaches us that life isn’t necessarily about following a fixed path but about embracing the opportunities for discovery and growth that come with wandering. This can inspire individuals to explore, to take risks, and to find their own unique paths in life.
This quote encapsulates the idea that travel, unlike material possessions, enriches us in intangible but invaluable ways. The phrase suggests that while travel requires financial expenditure, the returns it offers are priceless and enduring.
When you buy a physical object, its value often depreciates over time. However, when you invest in travel, you’re buying experiences and memories that enrich your life in various ways. You gain new perspectives, acquire knowledge, discover cultures, meet new people, and encounter experiences that stimulate personal growth. These are forms of ‘wealth’ that do not diminish over time but instead add depth and richness to your life.
Furthermore, travel often challenges us, pushing us out of our comfort zones and teaching us resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. These experiences can lead to increased self-confidence and a better understanding of oneself.
This quote can inspire us in a positive way by reminding us that spending on experiences, rather than things, can lead to personal enrichment. It encourages us to invest in experiences that foster learning, growth, and self-discovery, reinforcing the idea that the value of travel goes far beyond the cost of a plane ticket.
This quote by T.S. Eliot, a renowned poet, playfully challenges the common notion that the destination is the ultimate goal. Instead, Eliot emphasizes the importance and value of the journey itself.
In the context of travel, the ‘journey’ refers to the entire process of traveling – the planning, the anticipation, the travel itself, and the experiences along the way. The ‘arrival’ is the destination – the place you intended to reach. The quote suggests that the experiences, learning, growth, and memories created during the journey often hold more value and meaning than simply reaching the destination.
The journey often involves challenges and unexpected situations that require us to adapt and grow. It’s during the journey that we learn new things, meet different people, experience diverse cultures, and create memories that last a lifetime.
This quote can influence us in a positive way by encouraging us to focus on the process rather than the outcome, not only in travel but also in other aspects of life. It reminds us to be present, to appreciate each moment, and to learn from the journey rather than rushing towards the destination. It urges us to embrace the journey with all its ups and downs, knowing that these experiences shape us and enrich our lives.
This quote by Miriam Beard touches on the transformative power of travel. It suggests that traveling is not just about physically visiting different places or seeing famous landmarks. While these are aspects of travel, they don’t capture the entirety of what it means to travel.
The quote proposes that travel brings about a deep, enduring change in our understanding of life and our way of living. When we travel, we encounter different cultures, customs, and perspectives. We learn about different ways of life, which can lead us to question our assumptions and expand our understanding. Travel exposes us to diversity and reminds us that there’s no single ‘correct’ way to live.
Moreover, travel often pushes us out of our comfort zones, making us adapt to new situations, solve problems, and build resilience. These experiences can lead to personal growth and a deeper understanding of ourselves.
This quote can inspire us in a positive way by highlighting the profound impact travel can have on our lives. It encourages us to embrace travel as a tool for personal growth and learning, urging us to seek experiences that challenge us and broaden our perspective. It emphasizes that the true value of travel lies in its ability to transform our understanding of life and our place in the world.
This quote by Helen Keller, a remarkable woman who overcame the dual challenges of being deaf and blind, encapsulates her view of life as a journey filled with potential adventures. The quote conveys the idea that life, in its fullest sense, is about stepping out of your comfort zone, taking risks, and embracing new experiences – in essence, living adventurously.
In the context of travel, a ‘daring adventure’ could mean exploring unknown territories, experiencing unfamiliar cultures, or simply trying something new and different. However, this quote applies to life in a broader sense as well. It could refer to daring to dream big, facing personal fears, pursuing passions, or tackling challenges head-on.
The alternative Keller offers – that life is ‘nothing at all’ without such adventures – underscores her belief in the value of active engagement, courage, and risk-taking in leading a fulfilling life. Living passively, avoiding risks, and staying within one’s comfort zone, by contrast, reduces life to a bland, unfulfilling existence.
This quote can influence us positively by inspiring courage and a spirit of adventure. It serves as a reminder that embracing challenges, trying new things, and taking risks – whether in travel or in other areas of life – can lead to personal growth, memorable experiences, and a more vibrant, fulfilling life.
Amelia Earhart, known for her courageous and groundbreaking achievements in aviation, espoused the idea that the true value of an adventure doesn’t necessarily lie in the destination or the end result, but in the adventure itself.
Adventure, in the context of this quote, can refer to any endeavor or experience that takes us out of our comfort zones and exposes us to new things. This could be a physical journey, such as travelling to a new place, or it could be a metaphorical journey, such as taking on a challenging project or pursuing a new interest.
The phrase “worthwhile in itself” suggests that the inherent value of an adventure lies in the journey, the learning, the growth, and the experiences along the way. It’s about the thrill of discovery, the joy of overcoming challenges, and the personal growth that comes from stepping into the unknown.
This quote can influence us positively by encouraging us to seek out and embrace adventures, regardless of their outcomes. It reminds us to appreciate the journey, with all its challenges and rewards, rather than focusing solely on the destination or the end result. It inspires us to embrace uncertainty and to see the inherent value in the adventures we undertake. This mindset can make our lives more exciting, enriching, and fulfilling.
This quote from the Dalai Lama encourages the practice of exploration and discovery as a regular, intentional part of our lives. The quote’s call to go someplace new each year isn’t just about physical travel, though that is certainly one interpretation. It’s a broader encouragement to continually expand our horizons, seek out new experiences, and challenge ourselves to grow and learn.
The phrase “someplace you’ve never been before” can refer to a physical location, a new culture or community, a different mindset, or even a novel experience or skill. By seeking out these new experiences, we expose ourselves to different perspectives and ideas, fostering a greater understanding of the world around us and promoting personal growth.
The impact of this quote can be profound and positive. It encourages us to step out of our comfort zones, to embrace change and novelty, and to continually seek personal growth and learning. It underscores the value of curiosity and exploration in leading a fulfilling life. So whether it’s booking a trip to a city you’ve never visited, learning a new skill, or simply changing your daily routine, this quote inspires us to make exploration and discovery a priority.
This quote by philosopher and statesman Francis Bacon beautifully encapsulates the transformative power of travel across different stages of life. It suggests that travel serves different but equally important purposes depending on our age and life experience.
For younger people, travel is often a formative experience that contributes significantly to their education. It isn’t just about academic learning, but about life lessons and practical knowledge that can’t be taught in a classroom. Travel exposes young people to diverse cultures, ways of life, and perspectives, fostering an open mind and a broader worldview. It teaches them adaptability, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills, equipping them for the future.
For older people, travel serves as a rich source of experience and enjoyment. It offers opportunities for reflection and self-discovery, providing new perspectives even on familiar things. Travel for the “elder” is less about acquiring knowledge and more about enjoying experiences, exploring new places, and creating memories.
This quote can influence us positively by reminding us of the lifelong value of travel. It underscores the importance of travel as a means of learning and personal growth for young people and as a source of joy and enriching experiences for older people. It invites us to incorporate travel into our lives, regardless of our age, and to appreciate the different benefits it offers at different stages of life.
This quote by travel writer Paul Theroux makes a distinction between tourists and travelers, playing on the commonly held stereotypes of the two. The difference, according to Theroux, lies in their awareness and engagement with their surroundings.
When Theroux suggests that “tourists don’t know where they’ve been,” he might be implying that tourists often visit places superficially. They might check off landmarks and attractions without fully immersing themselves in the culture, history, or local life of the places they visit. This could result in a lack of deeper understanding or meaningful connection with the places they’ve been.
On the other hand, when he says “Travelers don’t know where they’re going,” he might be suggesting that travelers embark on their journeys with an open mind and a spirit of spontaneity. They are open to the unexpected, willing to deviate from their planned itineraries, and flexible in their plans. This approach allows travelers to discover and experience things that might be missed with a more structured, goal-oriented mindset.
This quote can positively influence us by inspiring a more mindful and immersive approach to travel. It encourages us to be fully present and engaged in our travels, to embrace spontaneity, and to seek out authentic, meaningful experiences. It reminds us that travel isn’t just about ticking off a list of attractions, but about immersing ourselves in new environments and cultures, being open to unexpected discoveries, and growing from our experiences.
This quote by Lucy R. Lippard, an internationally known writer, activist, and critic, encourages us to cultivate curiosity and mindfulness not just when we’re traveling, but in our everyday lives and surroundings as well.
The first part of the quote suggests that many people only truly ‘look around’ and become fully aware of their surroundings when they’re traveling. This might involve noticing the details of a place, its people, its culture, and its history, and being curious and open to new experiences and learning.
The second part of the quote suggests that if we brought the same level of attention and curiosity to our own neighborhoods, we could learn a great deal. Our local surroundings are full of stories, cultures, people, and experiences to discover. By becoming tourists in our own towns or cities, we can expand our understanding and appreciation of our local community and environment.
This quote can influence us positively by inspiring us to be more mindful, curious, and engaged in our daily lives. It challenges us to see the familiar with fresh eyes and to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary. It reminds us that every place, including our own neighborhoods, has something to teach us if we’re willing to look and learn.
This quote encapsulates the exhilarating blend of uncertainty and excitement that often accompanies travel. The quote suggests that a key part of the allure of travel lies in stepping into the unknown, in willingly embracing uncertainty, and in being open to whatever experiences and adventures might come our way.
The phrase “gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown” beautifully captures the paradox of travel. On one hand, there’s the unease of being in a new, unfamiliar place, where the language, customs, and environment might be different from what we’re used to. On the other hand, there’s the thrill of discovery, the joy of new experiences, and the potential for personal growth and learning.
Travel, according to this quote, is not about predictability or comfort. Instead, it’s about stepping out of our comfort zones, challenging ourselves, and embracing the thrill of discovery. It’s about relishing the chance to explore, to learn, and to grow, even (or perhaps especially) when we’re not quite sure what lies ahead.
This quote can influence us in a positive way by encouraging us to embrace uncertainty, not just in travel, but in life more generally. It reminds us that stepping into the unknown can be an opportunity for growth and discovery, rather than something to fear. It encourages us to see the beauty in uncertainty and to cherish the thrill of stepping into the unknown.
This profound quote by Anna Quindlen, an American author, journalist, and opinion columnist, underscores the potential for change and personal evolution at any point in life. It suggests that our past does not define us entirely and that we always have the capacity to embark on new journeys and experiences, which in this context could mean traveling.
The “life you have led” refers to your past experiences, habits, roles, and identities. While these aspects undoubtedly shape who you are, Quindlen’s quote emphasizes that they don’t need to limit your future. You have the power to create new experiences, pursue new interests, and evolve in different ways.
In the context of travel, this quote might inspire someone to venture out and explore new places, cultures, and perspectives, even if they’ve lived a relatively stationary or routine life up until now. Travel can be a powerful catalyst for change and personal growth, offering opportunities to learn, adapt, and develop in new ways.
The quote can positively influence us by encouraging us to see the potential for change and growth in ourselves. It invites us to embrace new experiences and journeys, both literal and metaphorical, and to understand that we are not confined by our past. It is a reminder that we have the power to shape our lives in the ways we find most fulfilling and enriching.
This quote by French novelist Gustave Flaubert encapsulates the humbling effect travel can have on us. When we travel, we come face to face with the enormity of the world and the diversity of people, cultures, landscapes, and experiences it contains. It puts into perspective just how small a part we play in the grand scheme of things.
The term “modest” in this context refers to the sense of humility or perspective that comes from recognizing our relative insignificance in the broader world. This isn’t intended to diminish our value or worth, but rather to foster a sense of humility and respect for the vastness and diversity of the world.
Seeing “what a tiny place you occupy in the world” is a reminder of our interconnectedness with others and with the world at large. It encourages us to respect and appreciate other cultures and perspectives and to recognize that our way of life is just one among many.
This quote can positively influence us by instilling a sense of humility, perspective, and respect for diversity. It encourages us to approach travel, and life more broadly, with an open mind and a willingness to learn from others. It serves as a reminder that we are part of a much larger, diverse, and interconnected world.
This quote by travel blogger Matthew Karsten highlights the inherent value of travel as a form of personal investment. The suggestion is that when we allocate resources (time, money, energy) toward travel, we are not merely spending, but investing in something that will yield significant returns in terms of personal growth, broadened perspectives, and enriched life experiences.
Travel exposes us to different cultures, landscapes, and ways of life, providing an invaluable education that extends beyond academic knowledge. It teaches us adaptability, problem-solving, and empathy, and it helps us to understand our place in the world.
Furthermore, travel often allows for reflection and self-discovery, as we step away from our daily routines and familiar surroundings. This time away can help us to gain a clearer understanding of our values, passions, and goals, thus contributing to our personal development.
This quote can have a positive influence by shifting our perception of travel from an expenditure to an investment, encouraging us to value the personal growth and enrichment that travel can offer. It serves as a reminder that the benefits of travel extend far beyond the immediate experiences, creating a lasting impact on our understanding of the world and of ourselves.
This quote from Confucius, the renowned Chinese philosopher, emphasizes the importance of wholeheartedness and commitment in our endeavors, particularly when it comes to travel.
The phrase “wherever you go” implies that it doesn’t matter the destination or the circumstances; what truly matters is the mindset and attitude we bring to our journey. It encourages us to approach travel with passion, enthusiasm, and a genuine sense of engagement.
By urging us to “go with all your heart,” Confucius highlights the significance of being fully present and invested in the experience. It means immersing ourselves in the sights, sounds, and encounters, and embracing the unknown with an open mind and heart.
This quote can inspire us in a positive way by reminding us to approach travel, and life in general, with genuine enthusiasm and wholeheartedness. It encourages us to be fully engaged, to seek out meaningful experiences, and to make the most of every moment. It prompts us to embrace the beauty and wonder of the world with passion and an open heart, fostering deeper connections and creating more fulfilling experiences along the way.
This quote by American writer and philosopher Susan Sontag captures the essence of the adventurous spirit and endless curiosity that often accompany the love for travel. Sontag acknowledges that there are still countless places she hasn’t visited, but expresses her eagerness and intention to explore as much of the world as possible.
The phrase “it’s on my list” suggests that Sontag recognizes the vastness and diversity of the world, and she has a desire to continue expanding her horizons by visiting new destinations. Her words reflect a mindset of openness, a thirst for knowledge, and an appreciation for the vast array of experiences the world has to offer.
This quote can influence us in a positive way by encouraging us to maintain a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world.

It inspires us to trust the journey itself and have faith that our path will unfold as we navigate through life. It reminds us that the process of exploration and self-discovery is often more important than the destination we aim for.
In this powerful quote by Elizabeth Gilbert, the inherent value and significance of travel are emphasized. It suggests that the benefits and rewards of exploring the world and experiencing new cultures are so profound that they outweigh any challenges, expenses, or sacrifices that may come with it.
The quote implies that the transformative power of travel, the expansion of horizons, and the enrichment of one’s perspective are invaluable. It highlights the idea that the personal growth, cultural understanding, and profound experiences gained through travel far surpass any material or temporal investments required.
Gilbert’s words invite us to embrace the idea that travel is not merely a luxury or a leisure activity but an essential part of a fulfilling life. They remind us that the insights, connections, and memories we gather through our journeys are priceless and contribute to our overall well-being and understanding of the world.
This quote has a liberating influence by encouraging us to prioritize and invest in travel experiences. It challenges us to consider the value of immersing ourselves in different cultures, exploring unfamiliar territories, and embracing the unknown. It reminds us that the personal growth and enrichment that come from travel are worth the sacrifices and commitments we make.
In this thought-provoking quote by Randy Komisar, the danger of deferring our dreams and desires in favor of future promises is highlighted. It suggests that postponing what truly brings us joy and fulfillment in the hope of acquiring freedom later carries a significant risk — the risk of missing out on living a life aligned with our passions and aspirations.
The quote implies that true freedom lies in pursuing our passions and living in alignment with our authentic desires rather than relying on future circumstances or financial security. It challenges the notion that we should sacrifice our present happiness for the promise of a more liberated future.
Komisar’s words invite us to question the traditional narratives of success and challenge the assumption that postponing our dreams is a wise or fulfilling choice. They remind us that life is precious and that our time is limited, urging us to prioritize doing what we truly want and value rather than deferring our happiness to an uncertain future.
This quote has an empowering influence by encouraging us to live in the present and take calculated risks to pursue our dreams. It reminds us that the pursuit of our passions and desires brings a sense of fulfillment and purpose that cannot be bought or guaranteed by external circumstances.

Introduction to Travel Insurance
Why travel insurance is a must-have.
The unpredictable nature of traveling – from flight cancellations to medical emergencies – can turn your dream vacation into a nightmare. Travel insurance acts as a personal safeguard, ensuring that unexpected events don't drain your wallet or ruin your trip.
Understanding Different Types of Travel Insurance
Not all travel insurance policies are created equal. From single-trip travel insurance policies to annual travel insurance plans , from minimal coverage to comprehensive protection, understanding the spectrum of options is your first step in finding the right fit for your journey.
Key Features to Look for in Travel Insurance Coverage
Travel insurance for medical emergencies.
Imagine falling ill in a foreign country; daunting, right? A robust travel insurance plan ensures you don't have to worry about how much emergency medical care while traveling will cost, even in the most remote corners of the globe. This coverage will often come in tandem with emergency medical evacuation coverage.
Trip Cancellation and Interruption Benefits
Life is full of surprises, some less pleasant than others. Trip cancellation and interruption coverage ensures that you're not left out of pocket if unforeseen circumstances force you to cancel or cut your trip short. You may also look for cancel for any reason and interruption for any reason options, which will reimburse you for a percentage of your nonrefundable fees, but expands the covered reasons you can cancel a trip. You can find our guide on the best CFAR travel insurance companies here.
Coverage for Personal Belongings and Baggage Loss
Losing your belongings is more than an inconvenience; it's losing a piece of your world. Insurance that covers personal belongings and baggage loss ensures that you're compensated for your loss, helping you to rebound and continue your adventure.
Support and Assistance Services
In times of trouble, having a lifeline can make all the difference. Look for insurance that offers 24/7 support and assistance services, giving you peace of mind that help is just a phone call away. Also, check websites that field customer reviews like Trustpilot, the Better Business Bureau, and InsureMyTrip , to see how well a company responds to customer requests.
Choosing the Best Travel Insurance
Reputation and reliability of the travel insurance provider.
A provider's reputation is not just about being well-known; it's about reliability, customer satisfaction, and the ability to deliver on promises. Researching and choosing a reputable provider is a cornerstone in ensuring your safety and satisfaction.
Understanding the Policy's Fine Print
The devil is in the details, and understanding the fine print of what your travel insurance policy covers is crucial. Be aware of coverage limits, exclusions, and the process for filing a claim to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Customer Reviews and Feedback
In the age of information, customer reviews and feedback are goldmines of insight. Learn from the experiences of others to gauge the reliability and customer service of the insurance provider you're considering. While the ratings are important, you should also look at whether or not a company responds to customer complaints.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Travel Insurance
Knowing your policy inside out.
Familiarize yourself with every aspect of your policy – what it covers, what it doesn't, how to file a claim, and who to contact in an emergency. Being informed means being prepared.
Steps to Take When a Problem Arises
If you face an issue during your travels, knowing the immediate steps to take can make all the difference. Keep important contacts and your policy details handy, and remember, your insurance provider is there to assist you.
How to Pick the Best Travel Insurance Company for You
There isn't a one-size-fits-all policy that works perfectly for every traveler. Young, healthy solo travelers can opt for much cheaper plans that offer bare-bones coverage, while families juggling complex itineraries will do best by investing in a robust policy that can help defray any costs associated with lost baggage, delayed transportation or other trip-impeding obstacles.
That being said, you can't go wrong with a travel insurance provider that boasts a reputable history and offers a wide range of customizable plans. In some cases, you may be comparing plans that are only a few dollars' apart from each other. In such situations, you should generally opt for the insurance company that offers the strongest customer service. It's also worth considering whether or not the travel insurance provider has been reviewed by other travelers with similar itineraries to your own.
An insurance aggregator like InsureMyTrip or Squaremouth is one of the best tools for searching travel insurance policies. Once you input the specifics of your travel itinerary, you'll be able to see hundreds of search results to compare the ones that catch your eye. If the options are too overwhelming, use the filters to the left of your search page to eliminate as many irrelevant plans as possible.
How We Reviewed the Best Travel Insurance Companies
To come up with our list of the best travel insurance companies, we evaluated each insurer based on the following factors:
Guide Methodology: What We Considered
Policy Types
Travel insurance is essential, but often underused partly because people aren't getting what they want. Business Insider's 2023 travel study showed 10.65% of travelers surveyed bought cancel for any reason insurance. Cost may be a factor, but in many cases, the coverage is more affordable than you might think. Regardless, companies must offer a diverse range of coverage options. We award five stars to companies offering all standard coverages and additional options like pet and sports equipment protection.
Our 2023 travel study indicated the majority of purchases were made through the travel provider (ex: flight protection insurance when you're purchasing your airline tickets). While these may be sufficient for some customers, we look for companies offering a more comprehensive range of services.
According to the U.S. Travel Insurance Association, the average cost of travel insurance will be between 4% and 8% of total travel expenses. Anything beyond that price point should include additional benefits beyond the standard inclusions, such as CFAR protection or upgraded medical coverage. Anything below that 4% threshold may leave you lacking important or sufficient coverage in an emergency.
Convenience and Flexibility
Whether you're an infrequent traveler or a suitcase warrior, a good travel insurance company should have you covered. In many cases, you might not even have to talk to a person in order to purchase your policy.
Many people think of travel insurance in context with specific trips, but most of these top contenders sell both single-trip and multi-trip policies, also known as annual travel insurance. Some companies also offer plans specifically designed for cruisers, students abroad, and business travelers. (Read our guide to the best cruise travel insurance companies for more details.) Finally, all of these providers offer multiple options for getting the specific areas and amounts of coverage that you want.
Claims Handling
Most travelers never have a large claim. Premiums are low, and it provides peace of mind for the just in case situations. So they leave reviews based on their reduced stress levels. But what happens if you lose your luggage or have to stay a few extra days due to an unexpected accident? Will your insurance carrier cover your claim without all the hassle? We check real customer reviews to sort this out for you.
Ease of Use and Support
When purchasing, during your trip, and throughout the claims process, you may need extra support. Does the company have a 24/7 help line? Does it have an online or mobile system allowing you to self-manage? Essentially, what are the options when you need help? We look at the big picture to evaluate the average customer experience with each company.
You can read our full insurance rating methodology for even more details.
Best Travel Insurance FAQs
There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for every traveler. Determine the benefits that are most important to you, like baggage delay coverage, medical coverage, and trip delay coverage, then look for a company with solid customer ratings, especially when it comes to processing claims.
Travel insurance will pay out if you experience a covered event, such as a travel delay or delayed or lost baggage. If you're looking to get travel insurance for a specific reason, such as needing to potentially cancel your trip due to work reasons, make sure your policy will cover you in that situation before purchasing it. You should also check customer reviews to see other travelers' claims experiences, as it varies wildly from company to company.
The average cost of travel insurance is 4% to 8% of your total trip cost, so it could vary widely depending on where you're traveling and the length of your trip. Your age, the number of people in your group, and other factors can also influence how much you'll pay.
Most comprehensive travel insurance policies include travel medical coverage that can come in handy if an emergency occurs and you need medical evacuation. Some travel insurance plans offer more specialized coverage for travelers with pre-existing conditions , so shop around if medical coverage is a top priority for you.
$100,000 should be a sufficient medical coverage limit for travel insurance. If you're planning on doing extreme sports or anything particularly risky on your trip, you may want to increase your coverage level. A high medical coverage limit is especially useful when you're purchasing cruise travel insurance, since medical evacuations are more involved at sea.

For a lot of people, buying car insurance is like buying sliced bread. It’s not the most exciting purchase, and the options all seem similar. So thrifty shoppers might simply reach for the cheapest thing on the shelf. But like cheap bread, cheap car insurance may leave you wishing you spent a little more on quality.
“The cheapest is not always the best,” warns Jessica McNally, an agency owner with Goosehead Insurance in Dallas. That’s because there are lots of factors that make up a car insurance company. And while price is one of them, it’s best to look at the bigger picture.
Here’s what to look for when picking the best car insurance company.
1. Choose a financially stable company
The best car insurance companies have plenty of money on hand to pay for customers’ claims. It’s important to check an insurer’s financial stability before buying a policy, especially if it’s a smaller insurer you’ve never heard of.
There are several independent agencies that evaluate the financial strength of insurance companies. One example is A.M. Best. You can use its online search tool to find an insurer’s financial strength rating. Companies with a rating of A or higher are considered to have an excellent ability to pay out customer claims.
2. Check customer satisfaction ratings and reviews
Not every insurer is customer-first. That’s why it’s important to research the customer satisfaction of insurers you’re considering.
You can turn to surveys from companies like J.D. Power to find insurers with the best customer satisfaction scores [0] J.D. Power . Auto Insurance Customer Satisfaction Plummets as Rates Continue to Surge, J.D. Power Finds . Accessed May 21, 2024. View all sources . Or, if you don’t mind doing a little detective work, you can compare customer complaints against insurers by using the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ website . But take other people’s emotionally charged comments about companies or agents you might read online with a grain of salt, McNally advises.
3. Look for convenience
A great auto insurer should offer multiple ways to manage a policy. For example, some insurers allow customers to use a mobile app to file and track claims. But it’s hard to tell how simple it’ll be to file a claim or perform other essential tasks, like paying your premium, before becoming a customer.
Some telltale signs that an insurer will be easy to work with are high mobile app ratings, flexible customer service hours and an easy-to-use website with helpful content. Consider asking a company representative to walk you through the claims process to learn what you’ll need to do if you have to file a claim. And pay attention to how the company communicates with you. "If they don't properly communicate, well, that's a warning sign," says Michael DeLong, a research and advocacy associate for the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America.
4. Pick an affordable company
Car insurance premiums are stretching to record-breaking heights [0] U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS . Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) . Accessed May 21, 2024. View all sources , and almost half of U.S. consumers shopped for a new car insurance policy in the past year, according to an April 2024 report by J.D. Power [0] J.D. Power . Half of Auto Insurance Customers Currently Shopping for New Policies, J.D. Power Finds . Accessed May 21, 2024. View all sources . The best car insurance companies offer competitive rates and a variety of potential discounts.
It’s not hard to get car insurance quotes online from many companies. Make sure you compare the same coverage options throughout the quote-gathering process. And don’t forget to look for car insurance discounts, like breaks for being a good driver, paying your premium in full or driving a new car.
More tips to find the best car insurance
When shopping for the best car insurance, keep the following tips in mind.
Assess your needs. Before buying car insurance, take a moment to reflect on what’s important to you and your family. For example, maybe you prioritize affordability and a well-polished mobile app, but don’t need accident forgiveness .
Consider small insurers. There are lots of small insurance companies you’ve probably never heard of. These regional insurers may provide lower rates and better customer service than the big companies you see advertised on TV.
Work with an independent agent. While it may be easy to get quotes yourself, independent car insurance agents and brokers can streamline the process. These experts vet companies and compile quotes from small and large insurers on your behalf. Independent agents and brokers can especially come in handy if you have a less-than-perfect driving record and can’t find insurance on your own.
Do your research. Search online for recent mentions of a company in the news before buying a policy, recommends DeLong. If you find a company has lots of recent lawsuits against it, you may want to think twice about signing on the dotted line. “And if they've had to pay out settlements, that's an even bigger red flag,” DeLong says.
Shop around once a year. Make a practice of shopping for car insurance every year — especially if price is important to you. Insurers adjust car insurance rates regularly, so what might have been the most affordable option last year may no longer be a bargain.
