To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to roam the roads of lands remote: To travel is to live. — Hans Christian Andersen

When one is alone at night in the depths of the woods, the stillness is at once awful and sublime. — John Muir

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own. — Charles Dickens

• 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.

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 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

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

Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you’ve never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground. — Judith Thurman

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

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

• 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

• 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

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

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

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

• 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

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

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

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

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.

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.

It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.   Maybe that’s enlightenment enough – to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.

I think food, culture, people and landscape are all absolutely inseparable.

Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.

Southeast Asia has a real grip on me. From the very first time I went there, it was a fulfillment of my childhood fantasies of the way travel should be.

I wanted adventures. I wanted to go up the Nung river to the heart of darkness in Cambodia . I wanted to ride out into a desert on camelback, sand and dunes in every direction, eat whole roasted lamb with my fingers. I wanted to kick snow off my boots in a Mafiya nightclub in Russia. I wanted to play with automatic weapons in Phnom Penh, recapture the past in a small oyster village in France, step into a seedy neon-lit pulqueria in rural Mexico. I wanted to run roadblocks in the middle of the night, blowing past angry militia with a handful of hurled Marlboro packs, experience fear, excitement, wonder.   I wanted kicks – the kind of melodramatic thrills and chills I’d yearned for since childhood, the kind of adventure I’d found as a little boy in the pages of my Tintin comic books. I wanted to see the world – and I wanted the world to be just like the movies.

At this point I think my body is like an old car. Another dent ain’t gonna make a whole lot of difference. At best it’s a reminder that you’re still alive and lucky as hell. Another tattoo, another thing you did, another place you’ve been.

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.

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

The Broke Backpacker is supported by you . Clicking through our links may earn us a small affiliate commission, and that's what allows us to keep producing free content 🙂 Learn more .

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

We’ve tested countless backpacks over the years, but there’s one that has always been the best and remains the best buy for adventurers: the broke backpacker-approved Osprey Aether and Ariel series.

Want more deetz on why these packs are so  damn perfect? Then read our comprehensive review for the inside scoop!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow is my favourite. It’s so true

I love travel quotes. They are so inspirational. Since I’m a solo traveller, #35 really resonates with me.

This is a hard one! Which would my favorite be…? I’m between my compatriot Rosalia de Castro and the unknown “Live your life by a compass, not a clock”. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, quote number one hit differently! Pieces of my heart have been left in nearly every place I’ve ever visited, any place I’ve ever made a memory with new or old friends.

“I’m in love with cities I’ve never been to and people I’ve never met.” I think that pretty much sums up why I’m driven to travel 😀 Great list!

Thanks for sharing these quotes! “Somewhere on your journey, don’t forget to turn around and enjoy the view.” is one that resonates with me most strongly. It is such an important reminder that sometimes when we’re traveling we need to put down our tour book and busy agenda and just stop to appreciate the new and exciting surroundings around us. Thanks for the reminder!

Absolutely! It’s easy to get swept up in all the “must sees” instead of what the destination is trying to show us!

Traveling is an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view is my favorite. Cant wait to travel again. Hope this pandemic ends soon

I completely love the first quote you mentioned!! I can see why you got it tattooed. After reading them all, the other one which stands out to me the most is the one about us being the foreigners!

So many beautiful quotes! I can’t wait to be able to travel again

Oh I just loved these quotes. Thanks for the great post!! I miss traveling so much!

Same here! Glad you enjoy them!

I love these! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

This is so inspirational! Love it!

Love these inspirational travel quotes! My favourite is number 11. It’s so true that a destination stays with you long after you leave it whether it’s a smell, a dish etc.

So many beautiful quotes! Love the positivity and inspiration during this crazy time we are in 🙂

So many great quotes, thanks for sharing. It reminds me of travel days.

This is a fantastic list of inspiring travel quotes! I’ve heard of most of them but also there a few that are new to me, so I really appreciate this! This one is one of my all time favorites –“Travel is not a reward for working, it’s education for living” – Anthony Bourdain

Thanks for including that one on this ultimate list!

Haha that’s my favorite reminder that work is just work. – Which (at least in America) is often forgotten.

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.

Motivational quotes for planning a solo trip

When you’re planning to visit a new country or a foreign city by yourself for the first time, the hardest part can be finding the inner courage to pack your backpack and make your solo travel dreams a reality.

These travel alone quotes speak to the very heart of solo travel – the push and pull between indecision , wanting to do the right thing while also finding freedom and empowering yourself to spread your wings.

You may feel nervous – that’s totally normal – but have faith that a well-planned solo journey is almost always a step in the right direction.

– David Baldacci

“To awaken alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world. You are surrounded by adventure. You have no idea of what is in store for you, but you will, if you are wise and know the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the unknown.”

Solo female travel quotes

Solo female travel is becoming more and more popular. I’ve done a few solo trips in recent years, and it never ceases to amaze me how different my travel experience is when I’m alone rather than with my partner or friends.

“Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.”

Quotes that prove solo travel makes you stronger

Solo travel often starts with taking a leap of faith. If it’s your first solo trip, you must actively work on believing in yourself and trusting your instincts.

Sometimes in travel (and in life), the only certainty is uncertainty. Things won’t always be easy, things wont’ always go to plan. Barriers and hurdles are almost guaranteed – but these experiences are likely to make you stronger and more resilient.

These travel alone quotes are all about testing your limits.

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”

– Neale Donald Walsch

“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

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion with one’s courage.”

“It is in all of us to defy expectations, to go into the world and to be brave, and to want, to need, to hunger for adventures. To embrace the chance and risk so that we may breathe and know what it is to be free.”

– Mae Chevrette

– Eleanor Roosevelt

– Matshona Dhliwayo

“Life is a journey with big rocks to climb, little ones to trip over, and milestones to mark where we have been.”

– David Cuschieri

Quotations that prove solo travel changes your perspective

I’ve never met anyone who decided to solo travel and came back the same person. Travel changes you – that’s undeniable – and often travel alone can shape you in ways you never could have anticipated.

One of the greatest lessons travel can teach you is to be humble. Travel helps you find your place in the world. A solo trip can give you the tools you need to tackle all of life’s adventures – and misadventures, too.

These solo travel quotes refer to self-discovery, breaking through your comfort zone, and seeing travel as a motif for the journey of life.

“A person susceptible to ‘Wanderlust’ is not so much addicted to movement as committed to transformation.”

– Pico Iyer

“Adventure can be an end in itself. Self-discovery is the secret ingredient.”

– Grace Lichtenstein

“I have traveled many roads in my life. Some were imbued with pain and I needed to avert my gaze. Others were so beautiful that I would have remained there forever. But always, at some point in these routes, I reached a place where I encountered myself.”

– Pablo Holmberg

“Travel doesn’t become adventure until you leave yourself behind.”

– Marty Rubin

“Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.”

– David McCullough Jr.

“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”

– Gustav Flaubert

“The best trip is the journey you take in finding yourself.”

– Angela Vallely

“Mapmaking: You’re on the path and have already begun to morph – so has the road. The journey has chosen you. The only way out is forward and through.”

– Helen S. Rosenau

Remember, your trip might start out as a solo adventure but it might not end that way! It’s the bonds you form along the way that often make travel truly memorable.

“Traveling solo does not always mean you’re alone. Most often, you meet marvellous people along the way and make connections that last a lifetime.”

Coming home: Solo travel quotes to mark the end of a journey

All good journeys must come to an end! It feels like just yesterday friends and family were wishing you a safe journey , and now it’s time to go back to the people you love.

These quotes sum up the bittersweet feeling of coming home after a solo trip.

“It’s a long ride home with nothing but me for company. I bore myself sometimes. Not often. Just now and again.”

– A.J. Hartley & David Hewson

“It’s amazing how many different roads we can take, but they all lead home.”

– Ron Franscell

“This life is an enduring and complex journey, but finally I have reached the point in my story where I am appreciative of where I’ve been, proud of where I am, and excited about where I have yet to go.”

– Becca Lee

“I, too, once journeyed beyond the stars.”

– Elizabeth Lim

“Maybe happy endings were real, as long as you understood that they weren’t endings, but steps on the road.”

– Katharine McGee

“When it’s over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it is over, I don’t want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument.

I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.”

– Mary Oliver

This Mother's Day, share a heartfelt message with these 30 quotes about mothers

Celebrating mothers and motherhood has been a tradition for centuries, even before Mother's Day was officially created. It dates back to  the ancient Greeks and Romans who held festivals for Rhea and Cybele, the mother goddesses, the History Channel reports. Today, the holiday continues to honor mothers and mother figures.

While you might think that you show your mother love for everything she does throughout the year, the second Sunday in May serves as another chance to do so. And how you display your gratitude could vary depending on your love language .

If you're a fan of words of affirmation, here are some quotes to share – or write on a card – this Mother's Day.

How To Choose A Bike: A Comprehensive Buyer’s Guide For Every Cyclist

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

If you’re in the market for a new bike, the hundreds, if not thousands, of options out there can make the journey feel overwhelming. Fortunately, our gear experts have bought a variety of bikes over the years, which has helped us put together a step-by-step guide on how to choose a bike. From demystifying frame sizes to the game-changing benefits of a professional fitting, we've packed it all in to ensure the bike you purchase is the right one for you.

Follow our comprehensive guide to choose the right bike that meets your needs.

The Best Memorial Day Mattress Sales, According To Our Deals Editors

The 10 best summer fragrances for men, from woody to citrus scents, step 1: consider your needs.

Start by thinking about how you intend to use your bike. Are you commuting to work, riding around town for fun, tackling trails or spending hours on the road? Understanding what purpose your bike will serve allows you to narrow down your options.

Road, Gravel, Mountain And Hybrid Bikes

Road, gravel, mountain and hybrid bikes are the predominant types you’re likely to encounter, and each have their own personalities that are perfect for different kinds of adventures.

• Road bikes : These are the speed demons of the bunch, zipping along smooth pavement with their sleek frames and skinny tires. True “road” bikes often come in a drop bar style that’s more aerodynamic and offers varying levels of comfort based on the bike. Don’t feel obligated to buy a drop bar bike if it doesn’t feel right—flat bar bikes (the more traditional approach) are perfectly fine as well.
• Gravel bikes : These are like the road bike’s adventurous cousin that’s ready to tackle anything from country lanes to off-road trails with their beefed-up tires and sturdy builds. These days, the trend is for gravel bikes to clear tires up to 50mm, which is more than most people need for a commute, but it gives you the flexibility to have a second set of wheels on hand for multiple kinds of riding without the need for another bike.
• Mountain bikes : As you can probably guess, these are built tough with suspension systems and knobby tires to conquer rocky trails and steep terrain. Different types of mountain bikes (enduro, hardtail, cross-country and so on) cater to different off-road pursuits.
• Hybrid bikes: These offer a bit of everything, with comfy seats, wider tires for stability and just enough toughness to handle a bit of off-roading while still cruising smoothly on the streets.

Different types of bikes cater to different scenarios.

Step 2: Set A Budget

As tempting as it may be to daydream over a pricey bike, figure out how much you’re willing to spend on a new ride before starting your search. Specific types of bikes with similar components will often fall into a specific price range, which makes it easier to determine how much you should expect to pay.

Keep in mind that higher-end components and lightweight frame materials like carbon are more expensive—the key is to find a bike that strikes a balance between price and capability. And while you’re putting a budget together, don't forget to factor in the cost of gear, like a helmet , shoes and even a hitch rack , if you don’t have the essentials.

Bike Frame Materials

There are three main frame materials to choose from: carbon fiber, titanium and aluminum/steel.

• Carbon fiber: This is the most popular choice for higher-end bikes—you can find full carbon frames in the sub-$3,000 price category. It’s a flexible material with a comfortable ride quality and the engineering allows it to mold into just about any shape, which is why bike manufacturers like it. One of the not-so-secret secrets of mid-range to higher-end carbon bike frames is that unless they’re made in Europe or America, they most likely come from the same handful of factories in Taiwan.
• Titanium: This material is popular among enthusiasts for a stiffer ride and bombproof durability.“It does a remarkable job absorbing high-frequency vibrations and low-frequency impacts from things like potholes,” says Moots president Nate Bradley. Titanium is typically more expensive than carbon, but it’s built for life. Bradley adds that metals can bend to absorb impact, whereas carbon is ultimately trying to resist bending until it delaminates, cracks or fails “catastrophically.” It is much more complicated to repair a carbon frame compared to titanium or steel, although both processes are expensive.
• Aluminum And Steel: It’s getting harder to find a quality aluminum bike, but “steel is real” for commuters and certain road bikes. Aluminum and steel frames are cheaper, but they still maintain high durability and easy repairability compared to their carbon counterparts.

Carbon fiber bikes offer a lightweight, compliant ride for hours of comfort in the saddle.

Step 3: Determine The Right Size

Getting the right size bike is key to long-term comfort and performance. If you're not sure what size you need, pop into a local bike shop, where a team can help guide you to the right bike that fits your dimensions. Plus, it’s never a bad idea to start a healthy relationship with a local shop for maintenance and part needs if you don’t plan on tackling repairs at home.

If you intend to buy from a direct-to-consumer (DTC) brand that doesn’t work with local bike shops, refer to the brand’s online size chart that often uses your height and inner leg length to recommend a size; from our experience, these tend to be accurate.

Step 4: Test Ride

Once you have a short list of bikes that meet your needs and fall within your budget, it’s time to take each of them for a test ride. Like visiting a car dealership to test drive a new vehicle, test riding a bike helps you understand if it’s comfortable, and it’s a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with a bike’s features.

This is also a great time to discuss sizing if you’re still unsure of what size bike to get, which might be the case if you fall between sizes. Share any noticeable discomforts so the experts can make minor adjustments to the seat, handlebars and head tube—these changes can drastically improve comfort.

Bicycle Components

If you’ve ever seen a luxury car commercial, you know the manufacturer is advertising their top-of-the-line car, and in a similar way, the bike industry has a habit of putting the highest-end (and most expensive) bikes on its advertising. While these bikes look great, the vast majority of riders don’t necessarily need that level of performance.

For newer or mid-range riders, here’s a short list of some componentry to look for that strikes a balance between price and capability:

• Shimano 105 : This is an excellent drivetrain choice that’s slightly higher on Shimano’s model list, but it’s a quality, easily-serviceable mid-range choice with dependable parts (such as chainrings, chains and derailleurs). Shimano also just released the Essa system as an affordable, commuter-focused option.
• SRAM Apex And Rival : While Rival is the American company’s legacy mid-range system, Apex is its newest, and perhaps best value. Rival is still available in a mechanical set while Apex is only electronic (you’ll see it named “AXS”). Apex is typically reserved for gravel bikes while Rival is for road and gravel.
• Campagnolo : Known as “Campy” in some corners of the bike world, this is a legacy Italian brand known for similar ranges as SRAM and Shimano, but more for a specific kind of bike enthusiast. The brand isn’t as popular in the U.S. as it once was, but it remains a very good option for certain riders. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a Campy drivetrain, but it can be harder to find replacement parts.
• MicroShift : Unless you’re really hunting for a bargain, it’s probably best to avoid MicroShift. The brand is getting better in terms of quality, but for similar pricing, you should be able to find a much more reliable, gently-used option from Shimano or SRAM.

Different componentry will influence your bike's abilities on and off the beaten path.

Step 5: Schedule A Bike Fitting

As easy as it may be to hop on a bike and ride off into the sunset, we cannot stress enough the importance a professional bike fitting, especially if you’re investing in a performance-oriented bike. A professional fitter will assess your goals and your experience on a bike as well as your dimensions to make small adjustments that improve comfort and pedaling efficiency.

Additional Buying Advice

Because the bike industry exploded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are more used bikes on the secondhand market than ever before. If you don’t mind a bike from a couple of seasons ago, you can often find a really great deal on a really great bike. Stick with a reputable site like Pink Bike or The Pro’s Closet , or head to a shop that backs up their used bikes with quality guarantees.

Shop DTC To Spend Less

A growing number of the best bike brands sell direct to the consumer, or DTC, as a means of sidestepping a relationship with a local bike shop to save you money, and these are a great option if you’ve done your research on a brand you like. Even big brands like Specialized are moving online and away from the dealer model.

What About Electric Bikes?

Stuart Sundell-Norlin, associate category merchandise manager at Christy Sports , specializes in helping riders find sensible e-bikes they’ll actually use.

“There are more options than ever are out there to get yourself into an e-bike with great sale pricing both at the dealer and vendor levels,” he says, “with no shortage of price points.”

There are power-assisted models available for just about every need. Popular cargo bikes often have a hub-drive motor located in the rear wheel while commuter- and performance-oriented electric bikes have the battery in the middle of the frame. Higher-spec bikes will have that battery built in, which is better for performance, but also more difficult to service.

Sundell-Norlin notes that if you have any interest in using an e-bike off-road, a mountain-specific model could be a great choice. There are also a growing number of “e-gravel” options that mirror their non-electric siblings.

Much like buying an electric vehicle, don’t get caught up in the formal range ratings for an e-bike. “Range will vary with rider weight, usage habits and terrain,” Sundell-Norlin explains. “A fully-loaded bike with groceries will certainly have less range than its empty counterpart.”

How Much Should A Beginner Bike Cost?

For beginners, considering a mid-level bike in the price range of $1,000 to $1,500 is a smart move. These bikes offer a step up in quality with reliable Shimano or SRAM components, known for their smooth performance and durability. By investing a bit more, you'll enjoy smoother shifting, better braking and overall improved ride quality compared to cheaper options. Plus, mid-level bikes often come with lighter frames and more comfortable features, making your experience more enjoyable, especially on longer rides.

How to protect yourself from bike theft

With a bike stolen every 7 minutes, here's how to safeguard yours against criminals.

When your bike gets stolen, it's a huge expense and inconvenience to get a replacement, especially if you've spent time and money on choosing exactly the right tyres, lights, pedals and other accessories. It can also be heart-breaking, if you and your bike have been on some memorable trips together - whether that's the daily commute, exploring further afield or going on family bike rides with your loved ones.

So to reduce the risk of adding to the bike theft statistics, follow our expert tips and hopefully you and your bike will enjoy many more adventures to come.

Insure your bike

Most bikes are stolen from the victim’s home or garden, according to BikeRegister . Check if your home contents insurance includes ‘pedal cycle cover’ - although policy limits vary so check carefully. With more expensive bikes, speak to your insurer as you may be able to pay more to list these on your policy.

Specialist bike insurance is an option if you commute, race or want cover for tyres or breakdowns. Most also include replacement bike hire, which a home policy is unlikely to offer. Check sites such as cycleinsurance.co.uk and quotezone.co.uk to compare quotes.

Register your bike

BikeRegister ( bikeregister.com ) is a national, police-approved marking and registration scheme. It’s free to register your bike and you get an online logbook as proof of ownership. UK police can access the database and if stolen bikes are recovered, registration details can be checked and bikes returned to their owners. You can also buy one of its security marking kits from £12.99, which provides a unique bike reference and ID label.

Buy the right lock

Check whether your insurer stipulates a specific type of lock; Direct Line says cheap locks can invalidate your policy and recommends either a keyed armoured cable lock, a keyed chain lock set or a D lock or U lock. Check your lock is certified Sold Secure, which means it has undergone testing and is recognised as more secure by most insurers. A stronger lock might cost more and add to the weight of the bike, but it's definitely worth it if it deters thieves.

Find more secure places to park

Look for well-lit, secure cycle parking, with CCTV and metal posts anchored in the ground. Direct Line advises taking removable parts with you, such as lights, saddle bags or even the saddle itself, to make your bike less attractive to thieves.

James Brown, managing director of Selectamark security systems, says: "Avoid parking in the same place every day. If thieves are 'stealing to order', they’re more likely to target you if they know where to find your bike."
