Travelling offers benefits you won’t find in many other activities. While travelling is often associated with fun and merry-making, it is one of the best ways to learn new things. Also, if you are feeling sad, depressed, or even lonely, travelling opens up your world beyond the perimeters of your room.  It exposes you to things and ideas you never knew existed.

Many people travel to free their minds and welcome new thoughts. Some of the world’s sociopolitical problems today can be solved by travelling and interacting with different cultures, races, religions, and more. This kind of exposure is great for your mental health and gives you a deeper understanding and appreciation of a world beyond what you are used to. If you are planning a trip or wondering if it is worth it, these travel quotes will motivate you to see the bigger picture. We have compiled some of the best quotes about travel from celebrities, scholars, philosophers, and other great men and women to inspire you to pack your bags and hit the road!
