There are many reasons why I love travel. There are equally many things that inspire me to travel. Photography is the most obvious. How many times I have seen a vibrant picture and said 'I want to go there!'. However, travel writing is another inspiring way to peak interest and let wanderlust take ahold of you. So I thought I would share some meaningful travel quotes and see if you are as moved as I am.1. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” - Mark Twain
2. “A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.” - John Steinbeck
3. “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” - Henry Miller
4. “Not all those who wander are lost.” - J. R. R. Tolkien
5. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
6. “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
7. “To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” - Aldous Huxley
8. “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.” - Mark Jenkins
9. "Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." – Miriam Beard
10. "If you look like your passport photo, you're too ill to travel." - Will Kommen
