If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.
You do not travel if you are afraid of the unknown, you travel for the unknown, that reveals you with yourself.
It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.
...there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.
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.

The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, but with the people you meet on them.
Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.
All the pathos and irony of leaving one's youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveller learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time.
Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.
Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of Habit, the leaden weight of Routine, the cloak of many Cares and the slavery of Civilization, man feels once more happy.
If you don't know where you're going any road will do
Without travel I would have wound up a little ignorant white Southern female, which was not my idea of a good life.
Our happiest moments as tourists always seem to come when we stumble upon one thing while in pursuit of something else.

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
There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.
To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
I think that travel comes from some deep urge to see the world, like the urge that brings up a worm in an Irish bog to see the moon when it is full.
