1. “I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list.” –Susan Sontag
2. “If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.” –Anthony Bourdain
3. “Not all those who wander are lost.” –J.R.R. Tolkien
4. “Travel does what good novelists also do to the life of everyday, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. Travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art.” –Freya Stark
5. “To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” -Aldous Huxley

7. “When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.” ―Clifton Fadiman
8. “To travel is to take a journey into yourself.” –Danny Kaye
9. “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 newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.” ―Pico Iyer
10. “It is better to travel well than to arrive.” -Buddha

12. “I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” ―Mary Anne Radmacher
13. “Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what’s right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in.” -Andrew Zimmern
14. “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
