Famous Quotations About Travel

from planning a journey to reaching your destiny

The collection of famous quotations about travel offers inspiration for many situations. Expanding the definition of travel from travelling into distant locations to simply moving, quotes gain a new dimension.

Travelling happens in many different ways and stages. Traditionally we perceive travelling more like going on holiday or an extented journey. Yet, it could also mean entering a new relationship growing with and on each other. An other posibility is progressing on a career path from leaving high school to becomming an appretice or student at University leading to the first paid job. Later setting out to start a business and gain with it local, national, or global recognition could be another milestone on a journey.

The point is we actively travel from one state of being into an other to create our professional destiny . With each new goal we enter a new phase on our life's journey. Often starting out requires a complete new set of skills, courage, and guidance to enter unknown territory. Finally determination leads to reach an envisioned milestone and to garner our travel gifts. The rewards of arriving are insights on our path of self discovery often with a new perspective of past, present,and future.
