49 Couples Travel Quotes to Inspire Love and Adventure

January 11, 2020 By Jen Ambrose 31 Comments

Updated February 1, 2024

A meaningful quote can stay with you for a long time. It can be a reminder, an inspiration, a comfort, or a reality check. A quote can help you express something you struggle to put into words, or it can bring up a feeling or belief you didn’t even know you had. If you’re a traveler, you probably love travel quotes for these very reasons.

As two people who’ve dedicated our marriage thus far to exploring the world together, couples travel quotes hold a special place in our hearts. (And as two people trying to put our experiences into words, well, sometimes it’s best to leave it to the experts!)

We’ve read a lot of quotes about love and travel, and these are a few (well, many) of our favorites. Whether you need inspiration for your wedding vows or some couple travel captions for Instagram , one of these quotes might be just what you’re looking for.

The Best Couples Travel Quotes

The most romantic travel quotes, the best honeymoon trip quotes, inspiring quotes about love & adventure, my own love quotes about traveling together, puns & funny couple travel quotes, more quotes about traveling together.

Since we’ve been traveling together for so long , it can be too easy to lose sight of how incredibly precious this experience is. Taking a step back to reflect on one of these travel quotes for couples always brings us back to a place of gratitude.

“Let’s find some beautiful places to get lost together.”

“And if travel is like love, it is, in the end, 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

“Couples who travel together stay together.”

“Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures.” – Anonymous PostSecret (commonly misattributed to Alice in Wonderland creator Lewis Carroll)

“Oh darling, let’s be adventurers.”

“We are the luckiest people in the world. How many couples get to travel together and spend quality time like we do?” – Lindsey Gormley

If you need inspiration for a love letter, anniversary card, or Valentine, look no further than these romantic travel quotes.

“I want to travel the world with you, go to every country, every city, take pictures and be happy.”

“I’m in love with you and with the world.”

“Here’s to all the places we went. And here’s to all the places we’ll go. And here’s to me, whispering again and again and again and again: I love you.” – John Green

“Kiss my lips and let’s run away together.”

“And we will travel together and just be in love forever.”

“I just want to hold your hand and wander the streets with you.”

“Will you give me yourself? Will you come travel with me? Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?” – “ Song of the Open Road, 15 ,” by Walt Whitman

“Escape and breathe the air of new places together.”

Even if society doesn’t really approve of our lifestyle of long-term travel , it does approve of one thing: travel for newlyweds. In fact, society believes so strongly in the power of getting away together, it’s the first thing couples are expected to do after their wedding .

“Our honeymoon will shine our life long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine.”  – Jane Eyre , by Charlotte Bronte

“These words are so sweet: honey, moon.”  – Kelly Link

“A wedding without a honeymoon is like a birthday without the cake.”  – Virginia Andrews

“A honeymoon is an opportunity to connect with each other and lose ourselves in blissful romance.”

“Traveling is the best thing any couple can do. That’s how we had the idea of the honeymoon. Newly wed couples going to a new place on their own so that all they could have is each other.”  – Salil Jha

The thing about traveling as a couple, though, is that it makes you realize the parallels between travel and love. Sometimes what we’re seeking when we travel is the same thing we’re looking for in another person or a relationship. If you ask me, these quotes about adventure and love say it best.

“I don’t want to be tied down to someone. I want to be set free with someone.”

“I’ve fallen in love with adventures, so I begin to wonder, if that’s why I’ve fallen for you.” – E. Grin

“Find someone who is a home and an adventure all at once.”

“You keep me safe, I’ll keep you wild.”

“Why should a relationship mean settling down? Wait for someone who won’t let life escape you, who’ll challenge you and drive you towards your dreams. Someone spontaneous who you can get lost in the world with.” – Beau Taplin

“What we find in a soul mate is not something wild to tame, but something wild to run with.” – Robert Brault

“As soon as I saw you, I knew you would be an adventure of a lifetime.” – Winnie the Pooh

“You’d be surprised who the love of your life turns out to be. After all, adventure fell in love with lost.” – Mary Oliver

“A couple who travel together grow together.” – Ahmad Fuadi

“Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.” – Wind, Sand, and Stars , by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

As someone who’s inspired by travel, love, quotes about travel and love, and words in general, I thought I’d try my hand at writing some of my own sayings. And if you think one of them could make an Instagram caption for travel with love, feel free to use it – and tag us @passionsandplaces !

“Even if we stay in one place, being married to you is adventure enough.”

“When you love someone, you even love them when your luggage is lost.”

“Here’s to road trips, red eyes, and a lifetime of adventure together.”  

“Travel keeps you young and free, even when you’re an old married couple.”

“Take me anywhere; just take me with you.”

“Long drives feel shorter when they’re done in love.”

Not all couples travel quotes have to be serious. Here are some entirely terrible travel-inspired pick-up lines and super cheesy quotes to roll your eyes at. (Note: Ryan hates puns more than anything and wants to make it clear that he did NOT approve of including these.)

“I’d fly in the middle seat to get to you.”

“Did you overstay your visa? ‘Cuz you got ‘fine’ written all over you.”

“A romantic getaway? Alpaca the bags!”

“Are you a pilot? ‘Cuz you look pretty fly to me.”

“The only baggage in this relationship is our suitcases.”

“If you were a TSA agent, I’d be happy to get a body scan.”

Here are a few more of the best couple travel quotes to inspire you and your loved ones.

“I want to travel the world with two things in my hands: your hand in one and a camera in the other.”

“Happiness is planning a trip to somewhere new, with someone you love.” – Marie Cribaillet

“In life, it’s not where you go. It’s who you travel with.” – Charles Schulz

“I would like to travel the world with you twice. Once, to see the world. Twice, to see the way you see the world.”

“I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m going. Are you coming with me?”

“No road is long in good company.” – Turkish proverb

“Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.” – Ernest Hemingway

“I would gladly live out of a suitcase if it meant I could see the world with you.”

And there you have it! The top 49 couples quotes we could find about adventure, travel, and experiencing life together. Reading these quotes made us reminisce about our wedding and the most romantic trips we’ve taken. We hope they’ll do the same for you!

Couples Travel Quotes For Adventure Lovers

Updated: Feb 24

There are few things more special in this world than finding true love. This feeling of knowing someone inside and out is taken to a new level when you travel together. A great trip can bring you closer as a couple and help you gain a deeper understanding of each other. The moments traveling on the road where you have to come together and make decisions can define how you react to problems and view the world for the rest of your life.

On a personal level, we met while studying abroad in our masters program. We experienced ups and downs, low moments and high moments, and everything in between. The beautiful thing is that we learned a lot about ourselves and the world at the same time. No matter what country or what environment we are in as a couple, we always seem to grow as a couple and individually when traveling. These moments have led to some very memorable travel quotes for couples that we would love to share with you now.

Never search for quotes again. Download our free 200 best travel quotes eBook and have enough quotes to last a lifetime!

Couples Travel Quotes

We’ve put together our top 20 couples travel quotes here so you can capture that feeling of love that you've had when traveling. Use these images and quotes to inspire your next travels as a couple or remember a recent magical trip you’ve had together.

“You are my greatest adventure, always and forever.” – Gretka Milkovic

This couples travel quote speaks perfectly to the true adventure that traveling with a loved one can be. There is such exhilaration when you jump into something head first with your partner. Trying something new in a foreign land can be daunting when you try it alone. When you’ve got your partner in crime by your side however, anything is possible.

“Be careful who you make memories with. Those things can last a lifetime.” — Ugo Eze

This travel quote is the best ! There are too many memories to count which have come directly from our travels together. Moments that will live in our minds forever and come up at campfires, dinner conversation, and casual chats with friends. When we remember the great times, it gives us that same feeling of pleasure when we first experienced that moment in real life. What a rush!

“Life is an adventure best traveled together”

Every adventure is better when you can share those memories with someone special. When you experience something new at the same time as someone else, you create bonds that last a lifetime. Cherish those moments!

“I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.” - Paulo Coelho

Have you ever felt like fate was on your side? Like things just fell into place at the perfect time? When you meet your partner abroad or have an amazing travel experience together, it can feel like it was meant to be. And it usually is! Cherish these moments and these people as they will help fuel your fire for life and allow you to grow as a person.

“I’ve fallen in love with adventures, so I begin to wonder, if that’s why I’ve fallen for you.” – E. Grin

This is a beautiful travel couple quote. Perfect for partners who love to go abroad together or find new adventures in their own backyard. When you travel a lot together, you can begin to fall in love with the feeling of adrenaline that comes with exploring somewhere new. If you’re traveling a lot with your partner, it’s easy to associate that feeling of adrenaline and lust for adventure with the love that you feel for them. In fact, we’ve found those two concepts to be joined at the hip in our case!

“What we find in a soulmate is not something wild to tame, but something wild to run with.” —   Robert Brault

We really love this couples quote because it speaks to us and fellow travelers alike. When you know, you know. Your true partner for life is not someone you have to “fix” or make better. They are someone who has a wild, unique soul that is to be cherished and supported. When you let that soul run free, beautiful things come from it, including magical experiences abroad together in nature or in new cities.

“Travel brings power and love back to your life.” — Rumi

This is one of those awesome short travel quotes . Remember that feeling of lightning striking your heart when you met your soulmate? That’s what this couples travel quote is referring to! It’s a testament to the power of love. When you care about someone on a deeper level, your whole mindset around life and the beauty of this world can shift.

“A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.” – John Steinbeck

Travel and love are so interconnected, it’s crazy. When you travel, the best moments usually come when you’re going with the flow and committing to the moment. Never letting yourself obsess over what’s to come, but rather caring about what is. It’s the same way with a relationship. If you think you can control the person you are with, you’re wrong. It will end badly as your expectations won’t match reality. It’s best to let people be who they are and find a partner who matches without adjustments.

“Adventures are best served together”

If you love going on adventures together, then you will enjoy this custom adventure couple mug. Type your names in and customize for your special someone. Take the mug(s) with you on your next camping or hiking trip together!

“Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.” – Ernest Hemingway

This is a perfect travel quote for couples! If you’ve got a fresh relationship and you’re just learning about each other, we recommend to take it slow and travel together once you know a bit more about yourselves. Since traveling involves many new situations and decisions, it can be overwhelming to try and take others feelings into account, especially if you don’t know them too well yet. So, get to know each other and then travel to gain an even deeper understanding!

“It’s always better when we’re together.” – Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson is one of our favorite musicians of all time. His music is truly inspiring and always fills our hearts with love. His simple statement here speaks volumes to the power of simply being together. Being apart from each other as a couple can form a real pressure on your relationship and turn something beautiful into something ugly. Always try to be in the same place as a couple if you can! It makes things a lot easier.

“Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures.” – Lewis Carroll

We love this travel quote as it speaks to the adventures you can unlock together as a couple. There have been so many times on road trips where one of us will want to do a new adventure and then push the other person to do it with them. If we were alone during these times, we may not have climbed the same mountain or surfed the same magical wave. Those moments we now remember forever may never have been.

“I would like to travel the world with you twice. Once, to see the world. Twice to see the way you see the world.” – Anonymous

It’s a beautiful thing to understand the world from someone else’s perspective. Hearing how your partner sees things and then jumping into their shoes to understand it yourself can give you a deeper feeling of connection. It can also open your mind to new ideas and perspectives.

"To get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with." — Mark Twain

Traveling alone can be fun for a time. You may see new sights and meet new people along the way. But the true beauty of travel is to be able to share those new special moments with someone you love. Loved ones can also just be a really good friend ! Sharing those experiences bonds people forever.

“Let’s get lost”

Getting lost together on a trip can be one of the best moments as a couple. It can bring you closer together and give a deeper understanding of how you both solve problems and deal with adversity. Get lost, it’s good for you!

“I would not wish any companion in the world but you.” – William Shakespeare

If you’ve got a special loved one who you just traveled with and enjoyed the trip, this is the perfect quote for you two. Keep the love flowing and never let go of that feeling!

“It doesn’t matter where you are going, it’s who you have beside you.” - Anonymous  

Sometimes the place you go doesn’t matter so much as who you go with. If you and your partner aren’t compatible, you’re going to be in for a rough trip. Because when it comes time to make the hard choices on the road, you may not agree. Or you may have different views on what type of travel you want to do. Maybe one person is more into adventures and the other into city trips. This can lead to disagreements and a waste of time together. Choose your travel partners wisely!

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart." — Helen Keller

We couldn’t agree more. Although we have seen some pretty spectacular sights while traveling, nothing has come close to the love we feel for each other. This love is enhanced by having awesome travel experiences together and learning new things, but the root of that feeling comes from our inner connection.

“You develop a sympathy for all human beings when you travel a lot.” – Shakuntala Devi

Travel can unlock new ideas and viewpoints for people. Seeing situations of poverty or other humans living in danger can put into perspective how comfortable you have it at home sometimes. Seeing these things with your partner can bring out a new level of understanding for both of you.

“You are the source of my joy, the center of my world and the whole of my heart.” - Hoang Chau

If you love someone and just went on an awesome trip with them, use this quote! It captures the feeling of how lovely the trip was and how much you care about that person.

“Home is wherever we’re together”

When you truly love someone, it doesn’t matter where you are in the world. As long as you’re in the same place, anywhere can feel like home!

“My love for you has no depth, its boundaries are ever-expanding. My love and my life with you will be a never-ending story” – Christina White

As mentioned before, traveling as a couple has no limits. You can do anything you set your mind to as you can push each other to new heights. These new limits will lead to new stories and will continue for as long as you both want to push it. Quotes like this are so inspirational !

“A couple who travel together, grow together.” – Ahmad Fuadi

Personal growth is one of our favorite things about traveling! The idea of gaining new knowledge and coming to a higher understanding of how the world works is exhilarating for us. That excitement is intensified when you travel with a loved one as you get to learn together and discuss new experiences as they happen in real time.

“Love is the food of life, travel is dessert” — Anonymous

Everyone needs love in their life. Without it, life feels empty. Traveling with a loved one is the icing on the cake since your love will only grow when you experience new things together. Enjoy those moments!

“No road is long with good company” - Turkish Proverb

This couples travel quote always sticks close to our hearts. We’ve been on many trips throughout the world separately before we met, but our most memorable ones have come when we’ve traveled together. It’s always more enjoyable to share our experiences in the moment with each other. It makes for a more rewarding trip!

“Maybe it won’t work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.” - Anonymous

There’s something to be said about just “going for it”! You really never know what will happen in your life until you try. The same goes for traveling. If you don’t push your limits and try to see new things, you will never know what you missed.

“Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone’s hand is the beginning of a journey. At other times, it is allowing another to take yours.” - Vera Nazarian

When you meet someone special abroad, you know the instant you meet them. The moment you touch them or share a great conversation. Those moments can lead to a trust and bond that last forever. When you fully give yourself to someone, the possibilities are endless! That’s why this is one of our favorite travel quotes for couples .

“You’d be surprised who the love of your life turns out to be. After all, adventure fell in love with lost.” - Mary Oliver

You really never know who you’re going to fall for. You might find them in your own hometown, or you may find them at University, or you may come across your special someone abroad. In our case, we met while studying abroad and have had some of the craziest travel adventures of our lives together since. We wouldn’t trade it for the world!

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.

25 of the best travel quotes with friends

By: Author Sylvia

Posted on Last updated: May 11, 2022

Are you looking for the best travel quotes with friends? You came to the right place. 

For me, traveling is not laying on the beach sipping cocktails. Although that can sometimes be lots of fun and relaxing too.

For me traveling is all about seeking new adventures and making travel memories. And these adventures become even more fun when you can share them with a good friend.

That’s why I wanted to share this list with 25 of the best travel quotes with friends.

So they can inspire you to travel more and share adventures and memories with a good friend.

Let’s be honest.

A journey becomes even more beautiful when you can share it. 

There is a really good chance that this post contains affiliate links. If you click one of them, we may receive a small commission (for which we are deeply grateful) at no extra cost to you.

1.“Life was meant for great adventures and close friends.”

We start this list with one of my favorite travel with friends quotes because lets be honest, what do you need more in life than a good friend and a great adventure?

Our adventures brought us already to all 7 continents. One of the most memorable adventures we experienced was our cruise to Antarctica.   This is a continent that cannot be compared with anything else. 

But we also have great memories of our travels to Japan , Korea , and Borneo. 

Recently we discovered the Azores . At this moment we haven’t yet planned our next trip which is quite strange for us.

A complete guide to the Azores islands.

Where is your next adventure taking you? 

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

Although we’re not keen on organized tours or any other form of mass tourism, except the occasional cruise to spoil ourselves, we are no hermits. 

We love to socialize and we always have a great time when we meet locals or other travelers during our trips.

With social networks like Facebook, it’s easier than ever to stay in touch after your trip.

The locals were very sociable in the Azores but in bigger cities, it is often not as easy to make a connection. 

That’s why we love websites like HiHiGuide where you arrange private tours with locals in major cities around the world.

Such tours are really great to learn more about the city, the culture of the country and the habits of the people.

3. “I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” – Mark Twain

This is so true.

While traveling together you learn to know someone’s flaws.

Spending 24 hours with someone can be quite challenging at times but it will also create memories that last for a lifetime. 

4. “There is a whole world out there. Pack your backpack, your best friend, and go.”

Although we don’t travel with a backpack anymore I definitely agree with this travel quote. 

Impulsive decisions are not always good but they can create really memorable vacations.

I still remember how we changed plans last-minute on a friend’s trip.  Initially, we wanted to stay close to home but because the weather was so bad we packed some clothes, jumped in the car and drove for several hours until we found some sun. 

We didn’t know where we were going but we had the best time.

The world is so big and there are so many places to discover that we’re always looking forward to our next trip. 

It seems like our bucket list is only getting longer…

5. “A good friend listens to your adventures. Your best friend makes them with you.”

This is one of my favorite best friend quotes. Nothing is better for friendship than making shared memories. 

It doesn’t necessarily need to be a long vacation.  You can just take your best friend on a city trip.  It will create a lifelong bond and years later you will still exchange great memories of your adventures together.

Which is the last adventure that you experienced and with whom?

6. “Friends that travel together, stay together.”

I do not fully agree with this traveling with this enjoying with friends quote. 

If you do not have the same idea about a vacation, it can sometimes be very disappointing to go on a trip with a friend.

Even to such an extent that this can put pressure on your friendship afterward.

So when you plan to go on a trip with friends, make good arrangements in advance about what you expect from the trip.

Good agreements make good friends and it will avoid that you or your friend will be disappointed and the dream journey turns into a nightmare.

7. “Sharing adventures means enjoying them 100% more.”

Everything is more fun in life if you can share it.

This is even psychologically proven. You’re more emotionally touched by the things you experience when a friend is going through the same experience.

All humans love to share their experiences. 

Ideally, with a friend who is traveling with you but it also explains why we love to share so many pictures of our trips on Instagram and Facebook.

8. “Sometimes all you need is a great friend and thirst for adventure.”

We certainly have thirst for adventure…

Kris and I dream about seeing polar bears in the wild, we have plans for an epic road trip through Australia and New Zealand, we still haven’t seen the northern lights and although we already spend a night in the desert we wonder how it would be to sleep under a starry sky instead of a tent …

I can go on for hours. 

What adventures are still on your bucket list and more importantly with whom do you want to experience them? 

 9. “There is an unspoken bond you create with the friends you travel with.” – Kristen Sarah

When traveling together you make collective memories that are definitely creating a special bond.

I already had some amazing vacations with friends and I can for sure testify that traveling with friends is much more fun than traveling solo. 

I tend to enjoy the places I visit and the things I do much more when I can share them with my friends.

Just think about some amazing experiences you had in the past.  There’s a big chance that this was a moment that some of your closest companions were at your side.

Being 24/7 with each other can be challenging at times but it will also bring you closer together.

10. “You can pack for every occasion, but a good friend will always be the best thing you could bring!” 

This is a perfect friendship travel quote to write on a small card and give to your best friend as a sign of your friendship.

11. “True friends never apart maybe in distance never in heart.” – Helen Keller

I have a few friends that I don’t see that often, but when we see each other we always have the best time and it feels like we saw each other just last week.

12. “If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far go together.”

This is supposed to be an African proverb but it’s not sure in what context it was originally used. 

Today it is often used in a business context referring to successful companies that are the result of true teamwork.

It does apply to travel as well. 

I don’t mind traveling solo if it’s just for a few days and my itinerary is jam-packed for each and every minute. 

I’m however reluctant to leave on a long trip without any friends. 

I think loneliness would start to creep in really fast.

13. “When traveling life’s journey, it’s good to have a friend’s hand to hold on to.” 

Life is not always perfect, inevitable you will encounter some bumps in the roads.

It’s good to have a friend by your side. 

Not only for the setbacks but also during the good times. 

True friends share your successes and are also there when things don’t go so well.

Good friends are priceless and must be cherished.

14. “Only the people you don’t know well enough seem normal. Every person you know well enough is odd, weird, and different. This is called friendship!”

I just laughed when I read this quote and at the same time asked myself whether my best friends would think so too.

Maybe I should ask them or maybe I rather don’t know. 😀

The question is whether they would dare to answer this honestly but I think that true friends should be able, to tell the truth and tell each other just how crazy they think you’re. 😀

15. “There are no strangers in this world, only friends I haven’t met yet.”

This is a great attitude that I absolutely agree with and try to apply daily. 

If you approach strangers in this way and you set negative prejudices aside you will often be positively surprised. 

The most inspirational travel proverbs.

16. “We are all travelers in the wilderness of the world & the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –  Robert Louis Stevenson

This is so true.  The world is such an intriguing and complex environment.  When we are young we have our parents to guide us but then there comes a point when we’re on our own.

Even though everybody wants to be independent there’re always moments when you need to rely on somebody else.  Sometimes we are just looking for some good advice, at other times we need some help.

This is especially true when you’re abroad in a country you don’t know with a language you don’t speak. 

We traveled independently through China and we must agree that we underestimated how challenging this would be.  We often were completely helpless.  There were no English-speaking ticket offices in the train stations and to our surprise we didn’t meet that many people who spoke English during our trip.  

But those people who spoke English really did anything they possibly could to help us.  They never took advantage of us, they never asked anything in return. 

They just seemed happy to help us.

They acted as an honest friend and that’s something I will never forget about our trip.

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

If there’s one thing that I learned from my trips it is that most people are helpful and will be happy to help if they can.  This is how we are born. 

Unfortunately, some people make abuse of this and we become cautious.  When a stranger asks us for help we sometimes tend to make something of it. It’s a pity that our helpful attitude is challenged by the abuse of a few.

If we could set our fear aside we would be able to make more friends.

18. “Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.” –  Izaak Walton

As they say, time flies when you are having fun. 

19. “Life is about doing things that don’t suck with people who don’t suck.”

Wouldn’t it be fun if all days were like this?

This is a little too good to be true but the proverb is absolutely true.  We should make the best of each and every other day.  

That means that we should spend our time on things that make us happy and that we should surround ourselves with people that make us better.

Or like they say in another proverb: “Life is too short to be anything but happy!”.

20. “Everyone needs this friend that calls and says, “Get dressed, we’re going on an adventure.”

Sometimes you just need that little push.

Although I’m always looking forward to a new adventure I notice how I sometimes postpone the booking. 

And the more I postpone it the bigger the resistance becomes to finally take the step.

That’s why I’m so happy with my friends who are always ready to join me on my next adventures.  

Afterward, I always wonder why I was so reluctant at first because it always turned out to be so much fun.  And it is of course always so much more fun with your friends around.

How about you? Do you prefer to stay at home or are you the person that calls and says get dressed we”re going on an adventure? 

21. “Travel is better with friends.”

This is certainly true, or at least 99% of the cases.  I personally only had great experiences during the trips with my friends and so does my husband.

But everybody knows some horror stories about friendships or relationships being destroyed during holidays. 

Don’t let this scare you.  As long as you make good arrangements in advance you will have the best time of your life.

Do you know such a horror story? 

22. “As with any journey, whom you travel with is more important than the destination.”

The experience is indeed largely made by the person with whom you share it. 

The destination can be extremely beautiful but the experience can be completely ruined if you’re there in bad company.

And this proverb also has a second meaning. 

Traveling is not only about checking things off the bucket list. 

It’s also about enjoying the moments and sharing them with those you love.

23. “Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all people 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

This traveling with friends quote reminds me of a lot of a story we experienced when we were traveling through Vietnam a few years ago. 

We were hiking and accompanied by a local tribe that didn’t speak English.

Suddenly one of our fellow hikers slipped out in the mud and she desperately tried not to fall. It was really funny to see how she alternately was gliding forward and backward.

Once she had regained her balance everybody started laughing including the ladies of the local tribe. 

This really shows how all people are the same and even when we come from completely different backgrounds, and we don’t speak the same language, we still have more in common than we think.

This event even broke the ice. 

Before this happened we had no contact with the local tribe but when we continued onward we were helping each other to cross the muddy parts and we tried to do some basic conversation.

24. “You and me, we are more than friends. We are like a small travel gang!”

This is one of the most beautiful travel with friends captions that I found and it is absolutely true. 

Once you’ve gone on a vacation with a friend and you have that special bond you really form a small travel gang. 

Who’s in your travel gang?

25. “I get a friend to travel with me… I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It’s hard to be alone.” –  Leonardo DiCaprio

I completely understand Leonardo. 

Humans are social beings and while some need more social contact than others we all love to be among other people. 

Spending time with friends will help relax those with stressful lives.

I had a great time putting together this list with travel memories quotes.  It reminded me again that every once in a while I need to spend time with my friends, preferably in an exotic vacation spot.  

I also decided that I will use one of these quotes every once in a while to show them how much I appreciate our friendship.

I hope that these quotes will help you to do the same.

Traveling with your family is a chance to bond with your loved ones and learn more about each other.  For example, I know my brother struggled with carsickness throughout his childhood.  This experience helped me understand how to deal with my own son when he had serious carsickness issues on our family trip from Michigan to Florida.  I not only remembered how my mom helped my brother, but I wasn’t surprised to find it ran in the family.

Here are a few quotes about traveling with your family that capture the joy and importance of these experiences:

Family vacations can be a lot of fun, but they can also be a lot of work.  There’s always the possibility of something going wrong, and that’s where the humor comes in.  That family vacation to Florida I mentioned earlier brought a bunch of catastrophes, only one of which was when my brother’s two front teeth broke off when a gust of wind caught the van’s back door and unexpectedly slammed it into his face.  Yikes!  Talk about putting a damper on a family vacation.

Of course, now we look back at this trip with a little humor around the whole situation, but at the moment, it was anything but funny.  Here are a few funny quotes about family vacations that capture the joy, the chaos, and the absurdity of these experiences:

• “Going on a family vacation is like jumping into a pool of chaos with a side of fun.” – Jimmy Fallon

• “And that’s the wonderful thing about family travel: it provides you with experiences that will remain locked forever in the scar tissue of your mind.” – Dave Barry

Family road trips are a great way to create memories unique to your family dynamic.  They are also a chance to learn fun facts about each other, like who can sing the loudest in the car, who is most likely to throw up in the backseat, and who can sleep through just about anything in the car.

On a family trip to Florida, I learned how little my three sons cared about the details of their clothing when they all came out of their shared room wearing each other’s outfits.  And let me tell ya – no one was the same size in our group, so the site of them wearing mismatched and off-sized clothing will stick with me forever!

Family road trips allow us to create memories, learn, and grow together, or at least learn how to tolerate each other for long periods.  If you are looking for inspiration for your next family road trip, I encourage you to read these quotes and consider the possibilities, like the possibility of never wanting to go on another one again.

• “A family road trip is the ultimate adventure, but it’s also a journey of discovery, both of the world and of each other.” – Rick Steves
• “Some roads aren’t meant to be traveled alone.” – Unknown
• “A road trip is a way for the whole family to spend time together and annoy each other in interesting new places.” – Tom Lichtenheld
• “The open road is a symbol of freedom, and a family road trip is the ultimate test of togetherness.” – Anthony Bourdain
• “Life is too short to not go on that spontaneous road trip.” – Unknown
• “The family road trip is an American classic, a rite of passage, a journey to who knows where and why, exactly, but it’s all good.” – Michael Paterniti
• “A family road trip is a journey of discovery, both of the world and of each other.  It’s a chance to bond, learn, and make memories.” – Phil Dunphy from TV Show Modern Family
• “No road is long with good company.” – George Eliot, English novelist
• “A family road trip is a journey to the heart of what matters most – each other.” – Paul Theroux

Family travel memories are some of the most cherished memories we have.  They are the moments we look back on and smile, the moments that make us feel connected to our loved ones, and the moments that remind us of the simple joy of life.

I remember the old 8-track player that pumped out Roger Miller tunes on some of our road trips when I was a kid.  Roger Miller is on my playlist today just because of that memory.  Family travel memories are more than just about the destination.  They are about the journey, the people you are with, and the experiences you share.  They are the memories that make us who we are.

So next time you can travel with your family, make the most of it.  Slow down, savor the moments, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

• “The greatest legacy we can leave our children is happy memories.” – Og Mandino

• “The memories made on a family road trip last a lifetime.  It’s about creating shared experiences and bonding over the journey.” – Samantha Brown

Making memories with your kids is one of the most important things you can do as a parent.  These memories will shape who they are as people and give them something to look back on fondly for years to come.  They will also provide you with something to look back on when your kids are all grown and have flown the nest, and you miss them with an unrelenting fierceness.

Here are a few quotes about making memories with your kids that capture the importance of these experiences:

• “Build traditions of family vacations and trips and outings.  These memories will never be forgotten by your children.” [sic] – Ezra Taft Benson
• “Adventures are the best gift you could ever give to kids.” – Walt Disney, American entrepreneur
• “The best way to educate your children is to take them traveling.” – Ellen Burstyn
• “The best way to learn about your children is to travel with them.” – John Steinbeck, American novelist

• “When you travel with kids, you get to see the world through their eyes.” – Unknown
• “The best education a child can get is traveling.” – Erik Erikson
• “The only thing worse than traveling with kids is not traveling with kids.”  – Unknown
• “The best education a child can get is travel.  It’s a passport to understanding the world and other cultures, languages, and ways of life.  It’s a journey of discovery that can last a lifetime.” – Anita Roddick

Not every family trip includes mom, dad, and 2.5 kiddos.  Family trips can include generations and extended family.  Our family trips often had an extra neighbor kid or two as my kids grew.  These trips allow you to see outside your routine and your own four walls.  They also provide the chance to learn about other people’s routines and habits.  Learning how other people function outside of your core family’s comfort is another bonus of traveling with people who don’t live under your roof.

• “Going on a trip with family is like a symphony – each member contributes their own unique melody to create a harmonious whole.” – Lisa See
• “Going on a trip with family is a time to forget about the everyday stresses of life and to simply enjoy each other’s company.” – Susan Wiggs
• “Going on a trip with family is a journey filled with discovery, adventure, and a lifetime of memories.” – Neil Gaiman
• “A family trip is a journey of discovery, a chance to experience new things and create memories that will last forever.” – David Mamet

• “Going on a trip with family is a journey of making memories, experiencing new things, and simply enjoying each other’s company.” – Lena Dunham

Traveling the world with your family is truly a unique and amazing experience.  World travel offers an opportunity to see new places, learn about different cultures, and bond as a family through discussion and experience.

I spent time in Japan as an exchange student when I was young.  A cultural nuance in Japan is that eating soup is done with a loud slurp.  My parents came to visit while I lived there, and I’ll never forget the look on my dad’s face when I picked up my soup bowl and gave it a big ole slurp!  I had no idea how that little detail would affect him.  At home in the good ole US, I had been taught to eat soup quietly and with a spoon.  Picking up a bowl, using chopsticks, and slurping were all new to him!

This moment is a lifelong memory for both of us, and we have had many conversations about that moment over the years!  Here are a few quotes about traveling the world with your family that capture the joy and importance of these experiences:

• “Traveling with your family is the best way to learn about each other and the world around us.” – Unknown
• “The world is a beautiful place, and there is no better way to experience it than by traveling with your loved ones.” – Unknown
• “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” – Saint Augustine
• “The world is a dangerous place, but not as dangerous as living without adventure.” – Mark Twain
• “Travel makes one modest.  You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustave Flaubert
• “Traveling is the art of getting lost.” – Paul Theroux
• “Travel is a great way to meet new people and make friends from all over the world.” – Samantha Brown

Traveling with family can be a challenging experience, but it is almost always rewarding!  Traveling together gives us a chance to see new places, learn about different cultures and bond as a family.

And vacation doesn’t have to be flashy or expensive.  Whether you are looking for a short weekend getaway or a longer holiday, family travel has endless possibilities.  You can visit a new city, explore the great outdoors, or even stay in your backyard.  No matter where you go, make the most of your time together and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Here are some bonus tips for when you plan your family trip!

Plan ahead: This will help you avoid stress and make the most of your time together.

Be flexible: Things don’t always go according to plan, so be prepared to adjust your itinerary.

Make time for each other: Traveling can be hectic, so make sure to set aside some time to relax and connect as a family.

Have fun!  Family travel is about making memories, so enjoy the journey, and don’t forget to laugh.

Quote Management Software for Tour Operators

April 17, 2024

Quote Man a gement Software f or Tour Operators

For tour operators, efficiency is everything. Being able to effectively produce quotes for customers can be a make-or-break function for operators – and that’s where quote management software can come in and save the day. When you’re handling countless moving parts daily , you can be doing anything from crafting itineraries to managing bookings to ensuring unforgettable experiences for travelers.   

These tour operator functions begin with communicating properly and managing quotes in an organized manner. This can be an obstacle for tour operators when it comes to having a quick and easy process. Without the proper software, creating and delivering quotes can become an overwhelming task for operators, preventing them from offering exceptional customer service and even leading to missed business opportunities .  

What is Quote Management Software?  

Put simply, quote management software is a specialized tool designed to simplify and streamline the process of creating, managing, and tracking quotes for travel packages and tours. It empowers tour operators to generate accurate quotes tailored to each client’s preferences and requirements swiftly.   

Quote management software can reduce manual work and automate important but tedious tasks. It can ensure that everyone involved – including your internal team, your vendors and suppliers, and your passengers– receives accurate and updated information. Having this kind of capability can truly transform a tour operator’s business.  

Why Do You Need Quote Management Software?  

Efficiency and Accuracy: Manual quote generation can be time-consuming and prone to errors. With the right tools, tour operators can automate repetitive tasks, such as pricing calculations and itinerary adjustments, saving time and ensuring accuracy.

Personalization: Every traveler and every trip is unique, with s pecific preferences and expectations . Quote management software enables tour operators to create personalized quotes that cater to individual needs, enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty . No more boring (or incorrect) quotes = happier passengers. 

Streamlined Communication: Effective communication is crucial for successful tour operators. Software centralizes all passenger interactions, allowing tour operators to communicate seamlessly with customers, suppliers, and team members, ensuring everyone stays informed and aligned.

Enhanced Sales Process: A streamlined quote management process translates to a smoother sales journey . In other words: faster quotes mean more trips booked. With software tools that facilitate quick and professional quote generation, tour operators can impress potential customers and close more deals faster.

Data Insights : Don’t forget about the numbers! Quote management software provides valuable insights into customer preferences, booking trends, and sales performance. By analyzing this data , tour operators can make informed decisions to optimize their offerings and improve overall profitability.

How to Make Quote Management Software Work for Your Travel Business

Choose the Right Software: Selecting the appropriate quote management software is crucial. Look for a solution that aligns with your business needs, offers robust features such as customizable templates, integration capabilities, and reporting tools, and provides excellent customer support.

There’s a reason many of the best tour operators choose a comprehensive system that can meet all their needs. From quote-to-cash, your software should encompass all aspects of tour operator workflows and streamline processes all around. Being able to do things like communicate with your customers within a single platform , easily manage quotes, change prices, make necessary revisions, access and send invoices and other reservation documents directly from one system can make all the difference.   

When it comes to these decisions, be sure to make the ones that will set you up for long-term, holistic success rather than opting for various systems to puzzle together .  

Customize Templates : Tailor your quote templates to reflect your unique tour operator brand identity and showcase the unique value proposition of your tours. Include detailed itineraries and transparent pricing to captivate potential customers and instill confidence in your offerings. A little personalization can mean a lot to modern travelers. 

Automate Processes : Leverage automation features to streamline repetitive tasks and minimize manual errors. Configure the software to automatically calculate pricing based on predefined criteria, generate personalized quotes with a few clicks, and send automated follow-up emails to clients. Your quote management system should make what used to be burdensome much easier. 

Integrate with Other Tools : Integrate your quote management software with other essential tools in your workflow, such as customer relationship management (CRM) systems, booking platforms, and accounting software. Seamless integration ensures data consistency and enhances operational efficiency. When you select an all-in-one tour operator software, you are setting your business up for even more success and the ease of integrating everything at once.

Bonus: Another best practice is to connect your quotes to processing payments . The sooner you get a quote out, the faster you can get paid!   

Train the Trainer : Your software should be able to offer a proven process that ensures ongoing support for your business . After being trained, your software champion should provide comprehensive training to your team members to feel confident they can use the quote management software effectively. Encourage ongoing learning and exploration of advanced features to maximize productivity and results. Software can truly be what you make of it! 

Monitor Performance and Adapt : Don’t ignore routine maintenance and research . Regularly monitor key metrics, such as quote conversion rates, response times, and customer feedback, to evaluate the effectiveness of your quote management strategies. Use these insights to iterate and refine your approach continuously. There is always room to improve your tour operator process. 

Quote management software is a game-changer for tour operators seeking to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive business growth. By embracing technology and adopting best practices, tour operators can realize the full potential of quote management software to thrive in the competitive travel industry . Remember that not all quote management software systems are created equally: consider opting for a powerful tool that will meet all your needs and expectations.
