“Travel makes you realize that no matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn.”

“This heart of mine was made to travel the world.”

“Traveling alone will be the scariest, most liberating, life-changing experience of your life.”

“The best education you will ever get is traveling. Nothing teaches you more than exploring the world and acquiring experiences.

“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.”

“I was not made for one corner. The whole world is my native land.”

“Wanderlust consumed her; foreign hearts and exotic minds compelled her. She had a gypsy soul and a vibrant hope for the unknown.”

“Sometimes all we need is a new perspective.”

“Blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventures.”

“You will never be completely at home because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of knowing and loving people in more than one place.”

“I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m going. Are you coming with me?”

“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.”

“I urge you; go find buildings and mountains and oceans to swallow you whole. They will save you, in a way nothing else can.”

“Travel. As much as you can. As far as you can. As long as you can. Life’s not meant to be lived in one place.”

“Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.”

“We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.”

“Travel far enough. You meet yourself.”
