Take only memories, leave only footprints.

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.

I always wonder why birds stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth. Then I ask myself the same question.

Travel makes a wise man better but a fool worse.

I was not born for one corner. The whole world is my native land.

If Obama wins, I’m leaving the country. If Romney wins, I’m leaving the country. This has nothing to do with politics; I just want to travel.

Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.

The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes ‘sight seeing.’

We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.

Tourists don’t know where they’ve been; travelers don’t know where they’re going.

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.

Only he that has traveled the road knows where the holes are deep.

I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.

Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like the people or hate them than to travel with them.

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.

The journey not the arrival matters.

There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.

The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

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.

I love the feeling of being anonymous in a city I’ve never been before.

We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
