Philosophy of Travel

 

Let’s put the miles behind us, and our troubles won’t find us.


What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do - especially in other people's minds.  When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then.  People don't have your past to hold against you.  No yesterdays on the road.  - William Least Heat Moon, Blue Highways


A journey’s purpose is not to discover new places, but to discover ourselves.


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


I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. - Robert Louis Stevenson

 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost

 

A man travels the world in search of what he needs and returns home to find it. - George Moore

 

Come along with me, up around the bend
Just you and me, our troubles will mend

 

The journey not the arrival matters. – T. S. Eliot

 

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. - Marcel Proust

 

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. – Tim Cahill

 

Not all those who wander are lost. – J. R. R. Tolkien

 

Life’s greatest adventure is the journey between the ears.

 

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land. – G. K. Chesterton
