Every now and then we all need a little motivation, a little reminder for why we travel and to validate that there are others who share the same feelings and emotions when they travel!
I compiled a list of quotes that spoke volumes to me – the list was longer! These are the ones that I want to live life by!
I’ve also added one of my own at the end! Feel free to leave your favourite travel quotes in the comments below!
Traveling – it leaves you speechless then turns you into a storyteller – Ibn Battuta.
Don’t listen to what they say. Go see.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. – Helen Keller
The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. – Augustine of Hippo.
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 tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it. – Cesare Pavese
Live life with no excuses, travel with no regret – Oscar Wilde
Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before. – Dalai Lama
I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world. – Mary Anne Radmancher
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
The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go. – Dr. Seuss
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. – Neale Donald Walsch
The more I traveled the more I realised that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends. – Shirley MacLaine
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.
Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world. – Gustave Flaubert
I don’t want to go back to where I came from. I don’t want to reach where I’m going. I just want to keep traveling. – Yeshira Sewdayal
Great list!
Great inspiration to get up and see the world!
I’m a fellow brown girl who loves travel and food too! Looks like we have a lot in common!
That’s so awesome – I started following your blog 🙂
This was such a fresh post ! Loved each one of them. My favourite is travel makes u modest. It infact has changed us for better. And it has made us want to see the world all the more. The smaller is the radius of the place you live in, the bigger and stronger you feel you are. It’s only when you travel miles you realize you are just a tiny grain of sand in the desert.
These are photos I live by !!! Such a great motivation to see the world.
What a lovely list. It was a great mix of familiar favourites and a few I’d never heard before. I think my favourite travel quote of all time has to be “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list” 🙂
Definitely agree with Neale Donald Walsch on so many levels, not only on traveling… It is essential to break out from our comfort zone to truly live.. 🙂 Great collection of travel quotes!
these are so motivational! sometimes you get stuck in the rut of everyday life, and forget that there’s so much out there to see, and these are great reminders
Those are some very good quotes. I loved the quote by Helen Keller and Augustine of Hippo. Kudos to you for writing them down all at one place. It just inspires me to travel more. Cheers!
Dear Yeshi, thank you for putting these wise words together. They are truly inspiring and so so true. I guess you only know that they are true once you started travelling yourself. It teaches you so much and it changes you. I think I liked the first one, because it expresses perfectly how we feel, especially with the blog being storytellers now but still speechless at every new thing we explore. Thanks again for this post.
I’m glad this post inspires you! Keep on traveling!
My favorite is “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” I want to finish the whole book. 🙂
i love using travel quotes when writing my Instagram post, bookmarked your page for future references, great list
Awesome!
Each and every quote is very well chosen and mentioned. Each quote has something to say to a specific traveler. The one that appeals to me the most is “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone” by Neale Donald Walsch. It is so true and so precise and i have realised it deeply during my solo trips! Thanks for sharing
Something to live by – and achieve Ambuj!
Ahh these are all inspiring. My favorite would be, “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world” by Gustave Flaubert, because it is so true. I am not the same person, I used to be so arrogant until I started traveling. It made me realize just how much I do not know and how big the world is.
My favorite travel quote is from the novelist, Pat Conroy, “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.”
Marjorie – I love this quote! The last part…the mind can never break off from the journey – it holds true for me!
Great collection of quotes. I especially resonate with the first one by Ibn Battuta. It is the very reason I started my blog, to share my travel experiences
I also identify with that – sometimes I get carried away telling people my travel stories!
I really don’t know which of these quotes fit to me, they all are nice! Probablt don’t listen… GO and SEE is the best!
Wow! This is such a lovely dose of inspiration! I love all of them. But my favourite would be the last one. ‘I don’t want to go back to where I came from. I don’t want to reach where I’m going. I just want to keep traveling”. Me too! 🙂
Very good quotes. I specially like the one with going every year. I try to do that my self. How did you come up with all these quotes?
I went through a bunch of travel inspiration and these are the ones that seemed to make a different in how I see the world and want to travel!
Love these! Can always use good travel quotes!
