Love this little list of inspiring quotes. My all time favourite is- i haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list
Ha ha, I think every travel addict can relate and knows most of these quotes, but it is really good to hear/read them every now and then. I have always been a fan of the Dalai Lama and especially the quote you chose to feature through your favorite 25.

I love these, some I have heard before but a few I haven’t. My favourite one is the world is like a book and those who do not travel read only one page. I also like Michael Palin’s about the travel bug, as I keep telling everyone I have been bitten by the travel bug and I can’t get rid!!
Great list of inspirational quotes! I really can relate to all of them. The first one really has an important sentiment, in particular. I really believe that the more we travel the world, the more community we find. #6 is great too—every year, we make it a goal to visit a new country/place. Once you catch the travel bug…
I love all these quotes, they are definitely inspirational and I love the photos that you paired them with. Definitely makes me want to travel more and go to more new places.
#4 and #15 are my personal go-to whenever I need a bit more inspiration or push to do something. Great selection of quotes here!
These are lovely! My favourite is the journey measured in friends one, never heard it before.
I love these quotes, it’s a great reminder always as a traveler. I do have my personal quote “Travel, so we can discover the undiscovered” – Ferna Mae
Hola!
