Best travel and adventure quotes to inspire your next trip

We live in a wonderful world full of so much, it’s practically endless! Even if you are lucky enough to visit every single country on Earth, you’ll still look back and find something you missed out on in each one.

That’s why it saddens me when I hear of people who’ve never left the country (about 23% of U.S. citizens) or have only been to 1 or 2 others. Every new place you go, you’re guaranteed to learn something new, meet incredible people, challenge yourself with things you previously thought were impossible to overcome, and much, much more. Traveling is one of the best teachers in life and there’s really no substitute for it.

But sometimes it’s hard to get off your butt and out the door. I’m here to change that! I must admit, as an adventurer myself, sometimes I need that added boost of motivation to get the internal fires burning. Adventure travel is life-changing, but isn’t easy, or cheap. It’s quite common to pump yourself up and then immediately talk yourself out of it. I know I’ve done that a time or two.

So what’s my solution? Funny you should ask! Besides looking up flights, checking availability, the top main attractions, and so on, I often turn to quotes about travel that move me just enough to get the proverbial “travel the world” ball rolling.  

Hopefully, the same might happen for you! Let’s see if it does. I’ve compiled a list of my favorite quotes and jotted them all down in one place, this article. It’s full of short, funny, travel, and famous adventure quotes sure to inspire your next adventure and maybe convince you to go ahead and book that next trip! Who knows, it might turn out to be the greatest adventure of your life! As Mark Jenkins says,

 “The only way to know the true limits of your personal growth is to go beyond them.”

So what do you say? Ready to leave your comfort zone? If so, continue on for some kick-ass adventure phrases sure to push you where you’ve never gone before! 

Let’s go!
