Travel quotes can best be described by Isaac D’Israeli, who noted that, “The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.”
In no more than a sentence, a quote can capture much of spirit and desire which makes so many people want to go out and explore.
In addition to the best travel quotes below, I’ve also provided my own commentary on some of the quotes, offering my perspective after 11 years of traveling around the world. I hope you find these travel quotes inspiring and use them to help further traveling the world for the rest of your life!
1. “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
Author Robert Louis Stevenson practiced what he preached. Born in Scotland , he died in Samoa and I had the honor of visiting his tomb. He traveled halfway around the world to live on an island that few people at the time, or even today, have even heard of.
2. “To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.” – Freya Stark
Frey Stark was a travel writer who traveled extensively in the Middle East and wrote several books about her adventures. She lived to the age of 100 and lived an incredible life. Only someone as well traveled as she can know the freedom and exhilaration of waking up someplace you have never been before.
3. “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for” – John A. Shedd
This quote comes from the 1928 book, “Salt from My Attic.” Fear is the single greatest thing stopping people from traveling more. Even if staying at home can reduce your risk, that doesn’t mean you should stay home. Humans are explorers and we have the spirit of exploration inside all of us. Staying at home your whole life makes you as useful as a ship that goes nowhere.
4. “The first condition of understanding a foreign country is to smell it.” – Rudyard Kipling
If you haven’t traveled before, you will not understand the truth of this quote. There are certain cities which have a unique smell and the moment I smell it, I know I am there. Bangkok has a unique smell. Many European cities do as well. It might come from many sources including street food, sewage, pollution, flowers, and people. Stories and images can easily be shared, but smells are something which is only for those who actually travel.
5. “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
When I hear people who complain or object to people in other countries, my first question is always “when were you last there?”. Almost always, their answer is “I’ve never been there”. It is easy to develop prejudices from afar, but it is difficult to do when you have met these people and have looked them in the eye.
6. “To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” – Aldous Huxley
Aldous Huxley, the author of a Brave New World, knew that to truly understand something, you need to see it for yourself. All of the books and experts in the world are no substitute for actually going somewhere and seeing it for yourself.
7. “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of the experience.” – Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon was a philosopher who lived in the 15th and 16th Century in England . He was influential in the development of the Scientific Revolution. I’ve met people in their 20’s who have been traveling and I have met people in their 90s. Even though they might get different things out of travel, travel has something for everyone.
8. “The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is, at last, to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.” – G.K. Chesterton
After traveling around the world for 3 years, I returned to my home country and I was a very different experience. After seeing so many different places, it made my look at my own country in a totally different light. It is a perspective I never would have had if it wasn’t for travel.
9. “I like animals. I like natural history. The travel bit is not the important bit. The travel bit is what you have to do in order to go and look at animals.” – David Attenborough
At the end of the day, we travel to go places. Few people truly wander aimlessly. They travel to a destination and for a purpose. Airports and hotels are not the purposes of traveling. They are simply the means to the end of being able to see the rest of the world.
10. “Travel teaches toleration.” – Benjamin Disraeli
The ideas of acceptance and toleration are a common theme in travel quotations. Benjamin Disraeli was the British Prime Minister in the 19th Century who understood that the only way to tolerate other ideas and beliefs is to encounter them in the course of traveling. If you never go anywhere, it is hard to understand why other people behave and believe what they do.
11. “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
Samuel Johnson was an 18th Century British writer. I can confirm what he says first hand. I’ve seen small things in my travels, from light switches to toilets, which I’ve often wondered “why don’t we do that?” Humanity has advanced through the millennia by exchanging goods and most importantly, ideas. As good ideas flow from culture to culture, everyone’s life improves.
12. “The journey not the arrival matters.” –T.S. Eliot
I’ve had plan journeys which have taken more than 2 days to get from place to place when you include all the flights and layovers. While I hate it at the time, I often look back on them and realize it was the difficulty in getting somewhere which made the end all that much better.
13. “The World is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.” – Saint Augustine
This is one of the popular and widely cited travel quotes in history. Saint Augustine lived in the 4th and 5th Century and lived in northern Africa and Italy. In an age when few people traveled more than a few kilometers from where they were born, Augustine saw more of the world than all but a few people during his life.
14. “Remember what Bilbo used to say: It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” – JRR Tolkien
In Tolkien’s Middle Earth universe, the Hobbits were quiet people who shunned any sort of travel. That made the characters of Bilbo and Frodo that much more heroic given the culture which they came from. Likewise, I came from a family which never traveled much. I never left North American until I was 29 years old and I never even saw salt water until I was 21! Just because you come from a place where people don’t travel much, doesn’t mean you have to as well.
15. “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust
Proust was a French novelist in the 19th Century. He knew that the transformative changes which travel brings are the greatest gift of travel.
16. “A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.” – Lao Tzu
Even though Lao Tzu lived 2,500 years before me, I found out learned what he meant. Early in my travels, I learned to keep my plans flexible and to not keep too rigid of a schedule. You never know what you will encounter when you are on the road, and keeping things flexible allows you to discover things you might never have.
17. “The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.” – G.K. Chesterton
Without getting into a discussion of tourists vs travelers, there is certainly a difference in how people can view the world when they travel. Many people will only see what they want to see and will try to make their experiences conform to their worldview. Others will be open to experiencing and learning what the world has to offer and shape their worldview around it.
18. “Experience, travel – these are as education in themselves” – Euripides
Euripides was an ancient Greek playwright. Even more than 2,000 years ago he knew that travel was the greatest school in the world. I have learned more in the years I have been traveling than I have in the rest of my life combined. Every day you are traveling, you are learning something new.
19. “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
John Hope Franklin was a 20th Century historian. Like Euripides, he knew that learning wasn’t confined to textbooks and classrooms.
20. “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” – Robert Frost
This is a quote from a well-known poem, but most people don’t consider the travel implications of it. There are a small number of places which tend to get all of the visitors. A few major cities and resort areas get the vast majority of tourists. However, the best experiences I’ve had traveling were in places which hardly anyone ever visits.
21. “Of all possible subjects, travel is the most difficult for an artist, as it is the easiest for a journalist.” – W. H. Auden
Traveling is all about stories and storytelling. That is why so much of travel throughout history has been conveyed through writing. Travel photography is certainly a popular art form, you are usually capturing the place or destination, not the actual act of traveling.
22. “Voyage, travel, and change of place impart vigor” – Seneca
Writers often go somewhere new to get inspiration. Being somewhere new invigorates you in a way that being a home cannot. Even though I’ve been to over 130 countries, I still feel energized when I visit someplace new.
23. “You lose sight of things… and when you travel, everything balances out.” – Daranna Gidel
Daranna Gidel is an author whose novels often contain a travel component. She knew that when we travel, we tend to focus on what matters and lose the distractions which otherwise rob of us focus in our lives.
24. “I see my path, but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I’m going is what inspires me to travel it.” – Rosalia de Castro
25. “I think that travel comes from some deep urge to see the world, like the urge that brings up a worm in an Irish bog to see the moon when it is full.” – Lord Dunsany
26. “The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes “sight-seeing.” – Daniel J. Boorstin

31. “What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do – especially in other people’s minds. When you’re traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.” – William Least Heat Moon

42. “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
43. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs
44. “Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey.” – Fitzhugh Mullan
45. “I have wandered all my life, and I have also traveled; the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.” – Hilaire Belloc

Paul Theroux

We travel initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspaper will accommodate. Pico Iyer
Part 1. What gives value to travel is fear. It is the fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country we are seized by a vague fear, and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. This is the most obvious benefit of travel. Albert Camus
Part 2. At that moment we are feverish but also porous, so that the slightest touch makes us quiver to the depths of our being. Albert Camus
Leaving home is a kind of forgiveness, and when you get among strangers, you’re amazed at how decent they seem. Nobody smirks at you or gossips about you, nobody resents your successes or relishes your defeats. You get to start over, a sort of redemption. Garrison Keilor

There are key phrases you pass through when planning a trip. First, your wanderlust grows into a pang you can’t ignore. You put a budget together and decide it’s finally time to get going.

Traveling with family conjures a special kind of magic. There are few people in the world who can annoy us so much, and yet we still adore them. That makes traveling together a seesaw of going nuts and having the time of our lives.
Your role on a family trip changes over time, from the backseat of the car on family trips as a kid to the adult who treats Mom and Dad to a flight somewhere fantastic. There are elements of family travel that never change, though. There’s always a moment when you’re begrudgingly awake but together at the crack of dawn. There are evenings when no one realizes it’s time to call it a night. There are photo-ops galore, and always more memories made than you could count.
Family travel quotes bottle that magic into something you can use in a card or letter , post on Instagram , or to keep in your head—just like the memories you make.

When you meet that special someone and discover you both love travel, the future before you glows with exciting possibilities.

It’s fun to jump on the bandwagon, too, when a friend is going somewhere and you want to tag along.
