Beware wanderlusters: these 10 quotes about travel may very well result in the spontaneous booking of a plane ticket!

Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel’s immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way. -Ralph Crawshaw
Only own what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag. -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world. -Gustave Flaubert
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. -J.R.R. Tolkien
Once a year, go some place you’ve never been before. -Dalai Lama
The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page. -St. Augustine
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness. -Mark Twain
I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world. -Mary Anne Radmacher Hershey
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware. -Martin Buber
Which one is your favourite? Mine is definitely the first! Do you have any of your own favourites to add?

Yes-it is a good one Olga! There’s so much truth in that one line. x
I love these! And I do live by this quote from the Dalai Lama. It was actually my new year’s resolution: to go somewhere I’ve never been before. In my case, I want to do this every month though 😉 Me and my constant wanderlust have got a lot of traveling to do! xx
What a great NY resolution Valerie! I have to agree though- travelling once a year is no where near enough! I get the post-travel blues whenever I come home, even if I know I have another trip planned the next month! Will we ever be satisfied? I think not but I think that’s the best way to be 🙂 xx
That first one by Mark Twain is my travel motto!
That one really hits home doesn’t it, Jess? We can’t let life pass us by without cramming in as much adventure as possible! x
