Travel quotes to fuel your wanderlust

It’s not unusual to hear people say that sometimes travel can be inspirational. You move away from your current state of being, let an experience bring about a change in you, expand your horizons, and alter your outlook on life. But sometimes, it takes a little guidance to allow somethings to inspire you – and pearls of wisdom by those who understand the value of travel do just that. Let the words of those whose lives have been changed by their voyages be a guide for you to embark on that life-altering journey.

Below is a list of JenJon’s collection of travel quotes that may serve to push your limits, or spark your wanderlust at the very least!

  1. “Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” – Jack Kerouac
  2. “Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life.” – Michael Palin
  3. “Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you traveled.” – Mohammed
  4. “The world is a book and he who doesn’t travel only reads one page.” – St. Augustine
  5. “The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” – Shirley MacLain
  6. “Travel far enough, you meet yourself.” ― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas
  7. “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” ― Robert Louis Stevenson, Travels with a Donkey in the Cevenne
  8. “The journey is the destination.” ― Dan Eldon
  9. “Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.” – Benjamin Disraeli
  10. “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Scott Cameron
  11. “It is better to travel well than to arrive.” – Buddha
  12. “We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”― Unknown
  13. “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.”― Anthony Bourdain
  14. “The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.”― Henry David Thoreau

  17. “We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” ― Jawaharlal Nehru
  18. “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.”― Maya Angelou
  19. “How you live your life is up to you. You have to go out and grab the world by the horns. Rope it before it ties you down and decides for you.” ― Sarah Reijonen
  20. “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’.”― Daniel J. Boorstin

MOVIES FOR THE TRAVELER: The Hollywood Edition

World over, filmmakers have found inspiration in the universal concept of travel. Films have the power to transport you into another world – and travel movies tap into the potential of the visual medium to encourage journeys and promote the magic of life-altering adventures.

To fuel your wanderlust, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite travel films that will help you indulge in the sights, sounds and stories from every corner of this planet.

The Darjeeling Limited is an emotional comedy about three estranged brothers who reconnect on a soul searching train voyage across the vibrant landscape of India. With a host of family conflicts waiting to erupt, the film follows the three brothers as they explore spirituality and reinstate their lost sense of brotherhood. Wes Anderson subtly handles melancholy through the highs and lows of travel to create an uplifting, instantly re-watchable film.

No list of best travel films is complete without the mention of this internationally co-produced masterpiece. The Motorcycle Diaries is a biopic on the legendary Ernesto Che Guevara’s 14,000 kilometer motorcycle journey across South America. The film offers a glimpse into the region’s stunning locales and the fascinating cultural aspects of its communities. Watch it to truly understand the sense of freedom and exhilaration that travelers seek – and pay homage to this Latin-American icon’s awe-inspiring story.

MAP FOR SATURDAY (2007)

Long-term travel can be one of the most personal sacrifices one can make – and A Map For Saturday puts this message across without intimidating those who contemplate such a life-altering decision. This travel documentary follows backpackers on their year-long solo adventures around the world. Relatable and real, it is a visual guide to different locations, languages, cultures, people and experiences that collectively make up the kaleidoscope that is a world of travel.

EAT PRAY LOVE (2010)

Julia Roberts brings her charm to the silver screen in this movie based on Elizabeth Gilbert’s critically acclaimed memoir. After a bitter divorce, Liz Gilbert (Roberts) sets off on an international adventure in the quest for self-discovery. Eat Pray Love follows Gilbert as she eats her way through Italy, prays her way through India, and finds love in Indonesia. This book-turned-movie released in 2010 created quite a compelling case for solo travel (especially among middle-aged women), and has since risen to the status of being a pop-culture phenomenon.

WILD (2014)

A biographical drama about writer Cheryl Strayed (brilliantly portrayed by Reese Witherspoon) and her 1,100 mile solo hiking trip in the Pacific Crest Trail. In the attempt to redeem herself and gain mental clarity after a string of personal tragedies, an inexperienced Strayed braves through dark forests, snowy peaks, and muddy trails on her own. Gritty, intense and emotional, Wild de-glamorizes solo travel in an honest, tell-all tale about pushing one’s limits in the journey through life.

UP IN THE AIR (2009)

George Clooney stars as Ryan Bingham in this American comedy-drama film that captures the life of a businessman who lives out of his suitcase. With an outstanding cast, the movie explores the theme of isolation and detachment – the two harsh realities of an urban nomadic life.

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE (2006)

Boasting of an ensemble cast that includes Toni Collette, Steve Carell, Alan Arkin and a young a Abigail Breslin, Little Miss Sunshine follows an emotionally dysfunctional (although completely relatable and endearing) family on an inter-state road trip adventure. In order to fulfil the wish of their 7-year old daughter, the Hoovers take their broken-down Volkswagen microbus from Albuquerque to California on an epic journey that borders on the bizarre. Heartwarming, funny, with nutty characters and a refreshingly simple storyline, Little Miss Sunshine rightfully made for a strong contender at the 79th Academy Awards – with six nominations and two subsequent wins.

THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL (2011)

The quirks of seven elderly Britons against the backdrop of a bustling, exotic (read: rustic) Indian city sets the tone for this comedy-drama film. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith lead an all-star cast in this heartening story that follows seven 60-plus British retirees to India as they decide to spend their twilight years in the country. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel intrinsically captures the West’s fascination with the East. The observations and experiences of each character seamlessly translate into humorous and honest insights – albeit occasionally borrowing from clichés to up the ante.
