Travelling is inspirational in so many ways. You don’t just get to know the new culture, city or the country, but the most importantly yourself. Many books were written, and so many movies were filmed about it. Obviously, it also inspired people to write some of the lovely things about it.

Here are some of my favorite travel quotes:

You can never cross the ocean unles you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.

DALAI LAMA

ALBERT EINSTEIN

To live will be an awfully big adventure.

PETER PAN
