We’ve maintained a travel lifestyle for 22 years now!
Travel quotes help up stay inspired to our travel dreams and connected to why travel is important.
As we like to say, “it’s all about the memories!”
But what kind of memories are you creating and why?
We travel to stay in alignment with our values, which are love, joy, connection, growth, contribution and freedom. So these are the memories we’re seeking – any experience that creates these feelings within us.
That is the sign of a happy and fulfilled life.
Here are some of our favorite travel quotes to help you travel more and create better memories. We’d love to hear your favorites in the comments.

What are your favorite travel quotes?
I actually like the one attributed to Mark Twain. He didn’t really say it and it isn’t as much about travel as it is a destination. However, I can say from experience it is very true:
“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco”
Jeremy,
Yeah, it was attributed to him everywhere I looked online, and I like it too so added it in!
I like these a lot! Thank you. I may re-quote one or two occasionally if that’s okay with you. 🙂
Sure thing Sally!
“You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own and you know what you know and only YOU will decide where to go!”
Oh! The places you will go!
-Dr. Seuss
Hey Tony, Love Dr Seuss quotes, cheers!
I love this!! Some of my all time favorite quotes. Whenever I am in a new city, I always think of the Proust quote and try and note the time that my mindset shifts from seeing new things, to seeing them with new eyes. Really enjoyed reading this man!
Happy to hear that Nate, cheers 🙂
I recently did a similar post, by favourite at the moment is: “Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustave Flaubert
Loooove this!!!!!! Happy Holidays & cheers to more travels in 2013.
You too beautiful!
Love this quote
“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”
Thank you for sharing Mark. Great quote
Love all of them! I have been making my own lately as sometimes there are no words already spoken to express MY feelings. My facebook page and twitter—@TTs Trippin and my Pinterest board “Travel Inspiration/Quotes” has some of the ones I have made using my own pics and words. A couple (words only) “Traveling is like breathing for me, it sustains my life”, “While a vacation is meant for relaxing, traveling is energizing”, “I don’t want to have anything, I want to SEE everything”, “I don’t travel alone to get away from anyone, I travel alone to get closer to me”. You can see them with my pics on my Facebook page 🙂 THANKS for sharing these and ALL your fabulous information!
I love the Helen Keller one. It always reminds me and gives me comfort that if I don’t ever take risks in life, than it’s not much of a life to live.
Agree Samantha, so empowering!
How about this one: If you want to travel with friends, go to your destination and you will find them there.
I found these on Pinterest! I absolutely love them and gets me excited for my next adventure to South East Asia! if you have any travel tips for me, I’d greatly appreciate it!!! Cheers!
