But he found that a traveller's life is one that includes much pain amidst its enjoyments. His feelings are for ever on the stretch; and when he begins to sink into repose, he finds himself obliged to quit that on which he rests in pleasure for something new, which again engages his attention, and which also he forsakes for other novelties. By Mary Shelley Enjoyments Found Traveller Life Includes

The passion for travelling is, I believe, instinctive in some natures. We have seen men persevere in their enterprises against the most formidable obstacles; and, without means or friends, and even ignorant of the languages of the various countries through which they passed, pursue their perilous journeys into remote places, until, like the knight in the Arabian tale, they succeeded in snatching a memorial from every shrine they visited. By James Holman Instinctive Natures Passion Travelling Arabian

You start traveling and you travel and keep on traveling, that's how you become a traveler. By Abhishek Kumar Traveling Traveler Start Travel

By A.r. Calhoon Destination Journey Passes Life Joy

I've been a traveller, but I don't travel so much now. I'm trying to do it vicariously through my writing. I'm trying to write books that will draw readers away from their lives but send them back in a more awakened way. By Steven Heighton Traveller Travel Writing Vicariously Write

I'm addicted to travel. By Murray Bartlett Travel Addicted

A traveller moves among real people in their own milieu and learns from them, soaking up their wisdom and philosophy, their way of being in the world. A tourist simply hops from one tourist highpoint to another, skimming across the surface, cramming in quantity rather than quality, and comes away with his soul and imagination unchanged, untouched by the wonder of a life lived differently. By Roxanne Reid Soaking Philosophy World Traveller Moves

With maps and globes decorated around your room as a child and with passport and ticket in hand in the present, it is your world to explore. To travel is to ask for a complex mix of the new and the old, hellos and goodbyes, and sadness and happiness. Leave your shoes behind at home and to walk in the footsteps of others for a while. By Forrest Curran Present Explore Maps Globes Decorated

I understand travel. I understand the experience of travel. I mean there is something of the "air-conditioned gypsy" in me. By Greg Lake Travel Understand Airconditioned Gypsy Experience

When I travel, I feel more like a nomad than a tourist. By Mohsin Hamid Travel Tourist Feel Nomad

With me, travelling is frankly a vice. The temptation to indulge in it is one which I find almost as hard to resist as the temptation to read promiscuously, omnivorously and without purpose. From time to time, it is true, I make a desperate resolution to mend my ways. I sketch out programmes of useful, serious reading; I try to turn my rambling voyages into systematic tours through the history of art and civilization. But without much success. After a little I relapse into my old bad ways. Deplorable weakness! I try to comfort myself with the hope that even my vices may be of some profit to me. By Aldous Huxley Temptation Travelling Frankly Time Promiscuously

We are born strangers in a strange land, and remain so. Travel simply reminds us of this essential truth. The transmission of a powerful story, one human to another, is an alchemical activity in which we are enlarged and changed. By Richard Halliburton Land Born Strangers Strange Remain

All my life I've always come back to one thing,my need to feel free and the need to feel the breeze,the ride provides a freedom this gypsy needs,where every road is another blessed memory,a new experience to carry inside my journey,a sense of belonging to a familiar tribe,a brotherhood that goes beyond a bloodline. By Jess "Chief" Brynjulson Feel Bloodline Life Back Thingmy

When the traveler goes alone he gets acquainted with himself. By Liberty Hyde Bailey Traveler Acquainted

That anxious railway-guide unravelerWho spends his nights in berths and bunks,His days in chaperoning trunks;Who stands in line at gates and wicketsTo spend his means on costly ticketsTo Irkutsk, Liverpool and YapAnd other dots upon the map. By Arthur Guiterman Traveler Choose Irkutsk Liverpool Trunks

out of our insane duty to fear, fashion, and monthly payments on things we don't really need - we quarantine our travels to short, frenzied bursts. In this way, as we throw our wealth at an abstract notion called "lifestyle," travel becomes just another accessory - a smooth-edged, encapsulated experience that we purchase in the same way we buy clothing and furniture. Not By Timothy Ferriss Fashion Fear Short Frenzied Bursts

Travelers aren't found. They're called. By Chess Desalls Travelers Found Called

The thing is, I'm a gypsy; I love travelling! By Sylvester Mccoy Gypsy Travelling Thing Love

I know, in my soul, that a love for travel is a gift and not a hindrance. It feels like a burden when the bucket list is bigger than the bank account, but a thirst for more of the world is not something to apologize for. Denying its presence feels like denying something good in me, something God put there. Wanderlust has a reputation as the epitome of unrequited love, something the young and naive chase after because they don't yet realize it's as futile as a dog chasing its tail. Turns out, ever-burning wanderlust is a good thing. By Tsh Oxenreider Soul Hindrance Travel Gift Feels

Adventurer: he that goes to meet whatever may come. Well, that is what we all do in the world one way or another ... By H. Rider Haggard Adventurer Meet World

All of us,' he said, 'have hopes of being poet, artist, discoverer, philospoher, scientist; of possessing the attributes of all these simultaneously. Few are permitted to achieve any of them in daily life. But in travel we attain them all. Then we have our day of glory, when all our dreams come true, when we can be anything we like, as long as we like, and, when we are tired of it, pull up stakes and move on. Travel the solitude of the mountains, the emptiness of the desert, the delicacy of the minaret; eternal change, limitless contrast, unending variety.' (Eric Lang) By Robert Edison Fulton Jr. Artist Discoverer Philospoher Scientist Poet

Travel challenges truths that we were raised thinking were self-evident and God-given. Leaving home, we learn other people find different truths to be self-evident.

Are you a traveling man he asked? By Nancy B. Brewer Asked Traveling Man

He that would travel for the entertainment of others, should remember that the great object of remark is human life. Every nation has something peculiar in its manufactures, its works of genius, its medicines, its agriculture, its customs, and its policy. He only is a useful traveller, who brings home something by which his country might be benefitted; who procures some supply of want, or some mitigation of evil, which may enable his readers to compare their condition with that of others, to improve it whenever it is worse, and whenever it is better to enjoy it. By Samuel Johnson Life Travel Entertainment Remember Great

Every Englishman abroad, until it is proved to the contrary, likes to consider himself a traveller and not a tourist. By Evelyn Waugh Englishman Abroad Contrary Tourist Proved

During those days of whirling about the globe, I had an epiphany: travel was the only area of my life where I had no expectations. I anticipated nothing while fully engaging each moment. What bred adventure, surprise and deep experience was not knowing, surrendering to now and letting go of control. By Gina Greenlee Globe Epiphany Travel Expectations Days

Travel is the realm of the impossible adventures, the quick fix, the ship passing in the night. It entitles you to meet interesting people, whom you would never meet, even if you laid traps or advertised for them. Not only do you met them, but you also unmeet them, all in the space of, it often seems, a mere compacted evening. As there is so little time, bodies in motion drop their guard and immediately get on with their stories. Then the proverbial ships part, each to its destination, never again to brush each other's wake. By Lawrence Millman Travel Adventures Fix Night Realm

The strangest thing in all man's travelling is that he should carry about with him incongruous memories. There is no foreign land; it is the traveller only who is foreign, and now and then, by a flash of recollection, lights up the contrasts of the earth. By D.e. Stevenson Memories Strangest Thing Man Travelling

Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put in process, a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. Tour masters, schedules, reservations, brass-bound and inevitable, dash themselves to wreckage on the personality of the trip. Only when this is recognized can the blown-in-the glass bum relax and go along with it. Only then do the frustrations fall away. In this a journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it. By John Steinbeck Journey Trip Equipped Designed Process

I lean back against the velvet-cushioned seat and close my eyes to the sound of hooves pounding hard against the cobblestone streets. Their clip-clopping harmony keeping perfect tempo with the rumble of carriage wheels, affording a sound as sweet as any symphony I've ever heard. It's the sound of escapeThe sound of goodbyeA sound that's served to soothe me in the past, providing the much-needed assurance that the unwelcome inquiries and suspicions of newly alerted acquaintances would soon fade - allowing for a brief respite in a new location, before I'm on the move again.I'm a gypsy.A nomad.A vagabond.A drifter. By Alyson Noel Sound Streets Lean Back Velvetcushioned

A journey awakens all our old fears of danger and risk. Your life is on the line. You are living by your own resources; you have to find your own way and solve every problem on the road. By Paul Theroux Risk Journey Awakens Fears Danger

He who would travel happy must travel lite. By Antoine De Saint-Exupery Lite Travel Happy

You travel life has the aspect of a dream. It is something outside the normal, yet you are in it. It is peopled with characters you have never seen before and in all probability will never see again. It brings occasional homesickness, and loneliness, and pangs of longing ... But you are like the Vikings who have gone into a world of adventure, and home is not home until you return. By Agatha Christie Dream Travel Life Aspect Home

Only now have I finally realized that my life has been an unending field trip. And I have tried hard not to be a tourist. But to be an adventurer, a traveler, an explorer, a learner, and a pilgrim. By Robert Fulghum Trip Finally Realized Life Unending

Travelling was a big part of my childhood and one that I value very much. In some respects, I can't help but be a bit of a gypsy as an adult. I get fidgety if I'm in one place for longer than three months. By Rain Phoenix Travelling Big Part Childhood Respects

Travellers, like poets, are mostly an angry race: by falling into a daily fit of passion, I proved to the governor and his son, who were profuse in their attentions, that I was in earnest. By Richard Francis Burton Travellers Poets Race Passion Son

I've always been pretty nomadic. By Minnie Driver Nomadic Pretty

A good traveler leaves no track. By Lao-Tzu Track Good Traveler Leaves

Travel became distinguishable from pain and began to be regarded as an intellectual pleasur ... These factorsthe voluntariness of departure, the freedom implicit in the indeterminancies of mobility, the pleasure of travel free from necessity, the notion that travel signifies autonomy and is a means for demonstrating what one 'really' is independent of one context or set of defining associationsremain the characteristics of the modern conception of travel.Eric Leed By Robin Jarvis Travel Pleasur Distinguishable Pain Began

It is not a very difficult task to make what is commonly called an amusing book of travels. Any one who will tell, with a reasonable degree of graphic effect, what he has seen, will not fail to carry the reader with him; for the interest we all feel in personal adventure is, of itself, success. By James Fenimore Cooper Travels Difficult Task Make Commonly

Dreamers of dreams may be pathfinders; but they may be mere vagrants. Of those who depart from the pavements, only a few are explorers: the rest are mere jaywalkers By Gilbert Ryle Dreamers Pathfinders Vagrants Mere Dreams

Travelling is good for your health and necessary for your amusement. By Thomas Jefferson Travelling Amusement Good Health

A pilgrim is a wanderer with a purpose. By Peace Pilgrim Purpose Pilgrim Wanderer

My dream, even now, is to walk for weeks with some friend that I love, leisurely wandering from place to place, with no route arranged and no object in view, with liberty to go on all day or to linger all day, as we choose; but the question of luggage, unknown to the simple pilgrim, is one of the rocks on which my plans have been shipwrecked, and the other is the certain censure of relatives, who, not fond of walking themselves, and having no taste for noonday naps under hedges, would be sure to paralyse my plans before they had grown to maturity by the honest horror of their cry, "How very unpleasant if you were to meet any one you know!" The relative of five hundred years back would have said "How Holy! By Elizabeth Von Arnim Day Plans Place Dream Love

Travel is rebellion in its purest form. - we follow our heart- we free ourselves of labels- we lose control willingly- we trade a role for reality- we love the unfamiliar- we trust strangers- we own only what we can carry- we search for better questions, not answers- we truly graduate- we, sometimes, choose never to come back. By Anonymous Travel Form Rebellion Purest Heart

The alternative to tourism The linchpin, the engaged one, the graceful actor in an unfolding play - these people don't seek to only inspect. They're not traveling in order to tick a checkbox.

I travel in gardens and bedrooms, basements and attics, around corners, through doorways and windows, along sidewalks, over carpets, down drainpipes, in the sky, with friends, lovers, children and heros; perceived, remembered, imagined, distorted and clarified. By Tom Robbins Lovers Perceived Remembered Imagined Bedrooms

Travel is like adultery; one is always tempted to be unfaithful to one's own country. To have imagination is inevitably to be dissatisfied with where you live ... in our wanderlust, we are lovers looking for consummation. By Anatole Broyard Travel Adultery Country Tempted Unfaithful

Days and months are travellers of eternity. So are the years that pass by. Those who steer a boat across the sea, or drive a horse over the earth till they succumb to the weight of years, spend every minute of their lives travelling. There are a great number of ancients, too, who died on the road. I myself have been tempted for a long time by the cloud-moving wind - filled with a strong desire to wander. By Matsuo Basho Days Eternity Months Travellers Years

Not only does travel give us a new system of reckoning, it also brings to the fore unknown aspects of our own self. Our consciousness being broadened and enriched, we shall judge ourselves more correctly. By Ella Maillart Reckoning Travel Give System Brings

Traveling is sacred; mankind has traveled ever since the dawn of time, in search of hunting and grazing ground, or milder climates. Very few men manage to understand the world without leaving their home towns. When you travel - and I am not speaking of tourism, but of the solitary experience of a journey - four important things occur in your life: By Paulo Coelho Traveling Sacred Mankind Time Ground

Many travelers are essentially fantasists. Tourists are timid fantasists, the others - risk takers - are bold fantasists. The tourists at Etosha conjure up a fantastic Africa after their nightly dinner by walking to the fence at the hotel-managed waterhole to stare at the rhinos and lions and eland coming to drink: a glimpse of wild nature with overhead floodlights. They have been bused to the hotel to see it, and it is very beautiful, but it is no effort....My only boast in travel is my effort... By Paul Theroux Fantasists Travelers Essentially Tourists Effort

A traveler s thoughts in the night Wander in a thousand miles of dreams. By Wang Wei Wander Dreams Traveler Thoughts Night

I travel in so many different ways; I travel high, I rough it ... it all depends on who I travel with. By Diane Von Furstenberg Travel High Rough Depends

Ourselves are cosmic and capacious beyond conjecture, and to experience some notion of the planetary perspective is the richest income from travelling. It takes all to inform and educate all. Sallies forth from our cramped firesides into other homes, other hearts, are wonderfully wholesome and enlarging. Travel opens prospects on all sides, widens our horizon, liberates the mind from geographical and conventional limitations, from local prejudices and national, showing the globe in its differing climates, zones, and latitudes of intelligence. By Amos Bronson Alcott Conjecture Travelling Cosmic Capacious Experience

I like to travel by myself. By Carly Rae Jepsen Travel

Travel empties out everything you've into the box called your life, all the things you accumulate to tell you who you are By Claire Fontaine Travel Life Empties Box Called

Traveler! If you keep wandering in the path of wisdom you too eventually become a man of wisdom! By Mehmet Murat Ildan Traveler Wisdom Wandering Path Eventually

While my library contains the works of travel writers, I have mostly searched for those who speak about their own place in the world. But the world is changing and many people have no place to call home. Some of the most important kinds of travel writing now are stories of flight, written by people who belong to the millions of asylum seekers in the world. These are stories that are almost too hard to tell, but which, once read, will never be forgotten. Some of these stories had to be smuggled out of detention centres, or were caught covertly on smuggled mobiles in snatches of calls on weak connections from remote and distant prisons. Why is this writing important? Behrouz Boochani, a Kurdish journalist and human rights campaigner who has been detained on Manus Island for over three years with no hope for release yet in sight, puts it plainly in a message to the world in the anthology Behind the Wire. It is, he wrote, 'because we need to change our imagination'. By Alexis Wright World Place Stories Writers Travel

He who has never left his hearth and has confined his researches to the narrow field of the history of his own country cannot be compared to the courageous traveller who has worn out his life in journeys of exploration to distant parts and each day has faced danger in order to persevere in excavating the mines of learning and in snatching precious fragments of the past from oblivion. By Mas'udi Oblivion Left Hearth Confined Researches

Because of my capacity for listening to strangers' tales, or the details of their lives, my patience with their food and their crotchets, my curiosity that borders on nosiness, I am told that anyone traveling with me experiences an unbelievable tedium, and this is why I choose to travel alone. By Paul Theroux Tales Lives Crotchets Nosiness Tedium

In travelling I shape myself betimes to idleness And take fools' pleasure By George Eliot Pleasure Travelling Shape Betimes Idleness

Travel Moulds A Man,People Mould His Wisdom And Experiences Mould His LIFE ... ! By Sujit Lalwani Mould Life Wisdom Experiences Moulds

Meetings constitute the charm of travelling. Who does not know the joy of coming, five hundred leagues from one's native land, upon a Parisian, a college friend, or a neighbour in the country? Who has not spent a night, unable to sleep, in the little jingling stage-coach of countries where steam is still unknown, beside a strange young woman, half seen by the gleam of the lantern when she clambered into the carriage at the door of a white house in a little town? By Guy De Maupassant Meetings Travelling Constitute Charm Parisian

Travelers are always discoverers, especially those who travel by air. There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas. By Anne Morrow Lindbergh Travelers Discoverers Air Travel Marked
