Why Travel Is Important to Me

As an adult, I LOVE to travel and live to explore. Let it be a new place in the town I live in, or somewhere on the other side of the world. Here are some travel quotes that I hold dear and strongly believe in. I hope you love them as much as I do.

quote "Once a year go someplace you've never been before". The background is of a forest.
(Once a year go someplace you’ve never been before)
Quote "Fill your life with adventures, not things. Have stories to tell not stuff to show". The background is of a man sitting on a rock looking at the sky.
(Fill your life with adventures, not things. Have stories to tell not stuff to show)
Quote "Wherever you go, go with all your heart". Background is a man standing on rocks behind a waterfall.
(Wherever you go, go with all your heart)
Quote "We travel not to escape life but for life not to escape us" Background is woman midjump surrounded by sand
(We travel not to escape life but for life not to escape us)

Traveling has helped me become me. As a child, we didn’t go many places, but I traveled through stories inside of books. As I grew older, I leapt at the chance to see these places in real life and it has become a very real part of my selfcare.

Quote "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page" Background is an open book.
(The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page)
Quote: "Travel...The best way to be lost and found at the same time". Background is a woman walking down a street with trees on both sides, it is foggy.
(Travel…The best way to be lost and found at the same time)
Quote: "Investment in travel is an investment in yourself". Background is a woman resting her head on a man's shoulder. They are sitting on a wall looking at grassy mountains.
(Investment in travel is an investment in yourself)
Quote: "We must adventure to know where we truly belong" The Background is a man standing on a fire tower with forest behind him.
(We must adventure to know where we truly belong)
Quote: "Travel doesn't become an adventure until you leave yourself behind". Background is of a Mountain ledge and forest.
(Travel doesn’t become an adventure until you leave yourself behind)

I believe that when you travel, the exposure to other cultures, ways of living, food and religions opens your mind to embrace a much larger picture. You realize that the world is bigger than you.

Quote: "A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions" Background is a landscape view of Theodore Roosevelt National Park
(A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions)
Quote: "Travel makes one modest, you see what a small place you occupy in the world" Background is a meerkat sitting in the sand.
(Travel makes one modest, you see what a small place you occupy in the world)
Quote: "I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world" Background is a sunset.
(I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world)
Quote:" Travel is more than seeing the sights. It is a change that goes in deep and permanent in the ideas for the living" Background is a giant stone wall in a forest.
(Travel is more than seeing the sights. It is a change that goes in deep and permanent in the ideas for the living)

You have the opportunity to see firsthand the struggles and success in other cities, states, and countries. This opened my eyes to see the world was not black and white. There are no simple answers. There is no one ‘right way’. I learned that it’s ok to ask questions, that no one is ever done learning and that we all can make a difference- whether it’s a good or bad difference is up to us.

Quote: "Exploration is really the essence of the human spirit" Background is a mountain at the edge of a large body of water.
(Exploration is really the essence of the human spirit)
Quote: "The symbol of joy today is travel. There is a wanderlust that infects the blood" Background is a view looking up at some tall trees.
(The symbol of joy today is travel. There is a wanderlust that infects the blood)
Quote: "Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey" Background is a river in a forest in the fall.
(Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.)
Quote: "Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul" Background is a sunrise.
(Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul)
Quotes: "In the end, you won't remember the time you spend working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that mountain" Background is a woman with her arms raised on the top of a peak.
(In the end, you won’t remember the time you spend working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that mountain.)

I believe traveling can be done by anyone. If you want to travel, you can. By creating a budget, picking up some odd jobs, or finding ways to travel cheaper; discovering new places is something everyone can do.

Quote: "Life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better" Background is a woman hugging a large Sequoia tree
(Life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better.)

Without a doubt, traveling has made me a more open-minded, accepting, accommodating person. I really liked the quote, “a mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions”. Thanks for sharing!

      One of my faves, that came from working in the lab, but is just as easily applicable to travel – or life – is, “Vision Without Action is a Daydream; Action without Vision is a Nightmare.”
