I wandered everywhere, through cities and countries wide. And everywhere I went, the world was on my side.

Anatole France

Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.

Anatole France

What is travelling? A change of location? By no means! When traveling, one modifies beliefs and prejudices.

Marion Zimmer Bradley

It has never been, and never will be easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.

Wendy Dale

Travel is like the high drama of youth. It’s the best and worst at the same time. One minute you are flung to the depths of despair, the next, you feel the giddy, exaggerated joy of an adolescent. For me, it had been a chance to make rash decisions, to take wild risks, to lose everything knowing I’d still have plenty of time to earn … [ Read more ]

Ray Bradbury

Half the fun of the travel is the aesthetic of lostness.

Ray Bradbury

See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask for no guarantees, ask for no security.

Ray Bradbury

We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.

Hans Christian Andersen

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.

Donald Miller

Everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.

Gene Roddenberry

If a man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to be feared.

Dagobert D. Runes

People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home.

Frank Bruni

Maybe our favorite places are simply those in which our expectations are routinely exceeded, happenstance cuts in our favor, and it doesn’t matter which fork in the road we take. It leads somewhere we’re happy to be.

Anatole Broyard

Travel is like adultery; one is always tempted to be unfaithful to one’s own country. To have imagination is inevitably to be dissatisfied with where you live… in our wanderlust, we are lovers looking for consummation.

Greg Simon

Every country has it’s dark side, some more than others. I believe this is a function of human nature and the fact that in any group of people there will always be a certain percentage of them determined to be trouble-makers. But, the vast vast majority of people in every country are good people who simply want to be happy and live in peace.

Jerusalem Demsas

Tourists are like bees. I don’t want a bunch of them circling around me, but I also don’t want them to disappear.

Harvey Lloyd

Travel is like an endless university. You never stop learning.

Ryan Holiday

I don’t take it as self-evident that going to a given famous place is an accomplishment in and of itself. There are just as many fools living in Rome as there are at home. And when you make this distinction, most of the other travel advice falls away. The penny pinching and the optimization, the trying to squeeze as many landmarks into a single day, … [ Read more ]

Ryan Holiday

The purpose of travel, like all important experiences, is to improve yourself and your life. It’s just as likely–in some cases more likely–that you will do that closer to home and not further.
