Top 10 Travel Quotes

1. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine

And the first page doesn’t even bring you out of your safe zone to the outer world. Indeed, the first page of a book is usually just a table of content of some general introduction. It doesn’t carry enough detail to give your mind a fly to the space of knowledge or a hint to what the book really is.

Three years after the first day I put my first step into Canada, I could still remember the first day I saw snow and really knew how it was. Honestly, it was like the kid who was first given the sweetest candy in the world. And that’s what a boy born and lived in a tropical country can describe to you.

Travel Quotes by Anthony Bourdain

Honestly, I knew more about Anthony Bourdain since he has come to my country eating Bún Chả Hà Nội with the ex-President of the USA, Mr. Barrack Obama. At that time, I was just curious about a man with honor to have dinner with the president of a big country. Then, the more I research about him, the more interest and admire I feel about the talented man. I always wish to do things like him, traveling around the world, exploring cultures on the planet, tasting different cuisines, then documenting things to share with everyone. It was such an extremely bad and a huge loss that he passed away, but his heritage and quotes always inspire people.

62. “Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life – and travel – leaves marks on you.”

63. “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.”

64. “If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.”

65. “The journey is part of the experience – an expression of the seriousness of one’s intent. One doesn’t take the A train to Mecca.”

Anthony Bourdain's travel quote - "The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one’s intent. One doesn’t take the A train to Mecca."

66. “It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.”

67. “Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.”

68. “It’s an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu, for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after, you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you’ve been and what’s happened. In the end, you’re just happy you were there – with your eyes open – and lived to see it.”

69. “Nothing unexpected or wonderful is likely to happen if you have an itinerary in Paris filled with the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.”

One of Anthony Bourdain's Travel Quotes - “Nothing unexpected or wonderful is likely to happen if you have an itinerary in Paris filled with the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.”
Nothing unexpected or wonderful is likely to happen…

70. “Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico, and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonald’s? Or do we want to eat without fear, tearing into the local stew, the humble taqueria’s mystery meat, the sincerely offered gift of a lightly grilled fish head?”

71. “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”

72. “Drink heavily with locals whenever possible.”

Haha, this quote somehow makes me laugh a lot. If you traveling around Vietnam, don’t be surprised to see so many people drinking beer. And when the Vietnamese people want to make friends, beer is mainly the bridge for the connection. So, please don’t forget this quote from Anthony Bourdain!

"Drink heavily with locals whenever possible." - One of Anthony Bourdain's travel quotes
Drink heavily…

73. “I’m a big believer in winging it. I’m a big believer that you’re never going to find perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one. Letting the happy accident happen is what a lot of vacation itineraries miss, I think, and I’m always trying to push people to allow those things to happen rather than stick to some rigid itinerary.”

74. “Plans should be ephemeral, so be prepared to move away from them.”

Dalai Lama’s Travel Quotes

When traveling to Vietnam, surely you may find a lot of temples and pagodas across the country. It can be seen that Buddhism has the strongest impact, as well as its occupation on the locals’ belief. Even to me who follow folk religion, or non-religion to be easily understood, Buddha’s words have a significant effect.

A Dalai Lama, or the spiritual leader of Buddhism, is having the same power. His words motivate people a lot in different aspects of life. Particularly in travel, the quotes to me are so much inspirational!

75. “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.”

Definitely! Happiness is now my priority in life. Since the days I’ve seen people around me passed away, can’t carry their fortunes but regretted the joy they could experience, it’s when this quote says.

80. “As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all beings.”

“As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all beings.” - one of Dalai Lama travel quotes for wanderlust
As you breathe in…

81. “Every day, think as you wake up: Today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.”

82. “Neither a space station nor an enlightened mind can be realized in a day.”

85. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”

86. “There is no unhappiness like the misery of sighting land (and work) again after a cheerful, careless voyage.”

87. “Take the universe as a whole, and it is a very clever conception and quite competently carried out, but I don’t think much of this globe as a work of art. It would have been better to take more time to it and do it right, it seems to me, than to rush it through, helter-skelter, in six days, just for reputation.”

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

“I have found out there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” - One of Mark Twain's travel quotes for wanderlust
I have found out…

89. “It is a subject that is bound to stir the pulses of any man one talks seriously to about, for in this age of inventive wonders all men have come to believe that in some genius’ brain sleeps the solution of the grand problem of aerial navigation – and along with that belief is the hope that that genius will reveal his miracle before they die, and likewise a dread that he will poke off somewhere and die himself before he finds out that he has such a wonder lying dormant in his brain.”

    These travel quotes are awesome. My favorite is the Tolkien quote. Sometimes it is fun just to wander. This past weekend my friend and I wandered around in the mountains and forest, we definitely weren’t lost, just wandering around and exploring.

    • Khoi Nguyen

      Seemed like you have an interesting time getting lost with your friend. Was it great?

  • Emman Damian

    I love these travel quotes. I agree on this: “Life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better.” – Simon Raven. That’s why I travel once or twice a year (or more) in a different country.

    • Khoi Nguyen

      Yes. It was just a little bit late for me to really travel.
      Wish I could know it sooner to start exploring every thing.

    These are great quotes. A couple of my favorites are the Chinese proverb about don’t listen to what people say but go see and the one about only travel with people you love. Experience has taught me that you cannot enjoy travel with people that you don’t love. On the flip side, the most amazing trips were with people that I resonated well with. What a difference!

    I’m not that much into traveling but I do enjoy it. I like exploring new places without looking into reviews or pictures from others who went there to avoid expectations and be in the moment. I like this quote:Don’t listen to what they say, go see..

    These are all beautiful. Particularly resonated with “As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all beings.” by Dalai Lama. It talks a lot about kindness to oneself and compassion to others. This is very applicable not just during travel but more so in everyday life.

    Those are terrific quotes. I especially like the first one by St. Augustine. I had no idea he spoke of travel. i am longing to get up and travel soon again.

    I miss traveling so much! Definitely saving this page when I can explore again! For now I will keep these quotes for inspiration! My favorite quote is: “ A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.”
