I’m a sucker for travel quotes. Not only do they inspire me to get out and see more, but they serve as practical advice for everyday life. There are a few classics in here, mixed in with some of my favorite bits of life advice. Here are 21 travel quotes, mixed with photos from my recent travels, to inspire you to book that ticket and get out there already!

I am SUCH a glutton for travel quotes, too. One of my favorites is “THE LIFE YOU HAVE LED DOESN’T NEED TO BE THE ONLY LIFE YOU HAVE.” – ANNA QUINDLEN which I have in the “About” section of my site. Thanks for posting — It was nice to go through your post, and one I will bookmark for inspiration when needed!

Love this one: “The life you have led doesn’t need to be the only life you have.”

Ah! If I read this blog every morning, I’ll be traveling everyday!
And I totally agree with Ibn Batuta. Traveling always leaves me speechless, but then I couldn’t stop telling everyone about it 🙂

Haha! Yeah, or in my case, start a blog so my coworkers don’t have to hear me swooning over France AGAIN. 😀 Some of these quotes are the perfect kick in the butt to go and travel already!

Thank you! There are some good ones on your post that I’d never heard before. I especially like the one from Eleanor Roosevelt.

Cute! I have a love-hate relationship with travel quotes as you see them pop up everywhere all the time, but I do love seeing “Not all those who wander are lost” wherever I see it!
Adventuring The Great Wide Somewhere says
Yeah, I know what you mean. It’s gotten a little cheesy, but they’re a bit of a guilty pleasure. 😉
Vicki Garside says
I absolutely love: “Not all who wander are lost” & “Traveling – it leaves you speechless and then turns you into a story teller.” Thank you sharing these inspirational quotes – if you weren’t inspired to travel before reading this – you will be afterwards!
Happy Travels 🙂

Agreed, the “storyteller” quote is one of my absolute favorites. We could all use some inspiration now and then. Thanks for commenting!

Great quotes – not that I needed any more reasons to travel – but now I have some! Ha! Thanks for sharing.
Adventuring The Great Wide Somewhere says
Totally. It just makes me wish I had more money for airfare, haha!

I am not a big fan of travel quotes, but I enjoyed reading this collection. Oscar Wilde is so humble 😉 and I totally agree with Gustave Flaubert. Also, I want to share my favorite too: “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” – Saint Augustine.
Adventuring The Great Wide Somewhere says
I love that one from Saint Augustine!
