I am a fan of all kinds of quotes! I love quotes. They remind me that I am not the first to experience something and those before me just might have some pretty great advice. Quotes can be inspiring or just direct – they make you think and can encourage you do keep on moving in the direction of your goals. Travel quotes are especially fun because people have been traveling since the beginning of man. There have been nomadic tribes, explorers, to diplomatic visits abroad, royal visits, tourism, and the list goes on! So many people before me have come to conclusions about their travels and today, we can quote them on it. Listed here are my top 20 best (most inspirational) travel quotes.
