"Memorable travel quotes are like messages found on the beach; beautiful, timeless, and read at just the right moment."
I absolutely love the following quotes and I recommend reading the others on the website too. I think they are relevent to the journey I am about to take; the quotes really describe why I am so passionate about travel and why this experience abroad is so important to me. I believe that travel is such an essential part of life. There is so much out there that so many people never get to see because they never leave the boundaries they call "home".
If more people traveled, there would be further acceptance in the world. People wouldn’t find other customs and cultures so strange; they wouldn’t be as quick to judge. There would be more peace instead of misunderstanding. People would learn from each other in order to make a greater quality of life for all. Traveling allows people to make connections all over the world and weakens the barrier between cultures with every trip. If one person convinces another to travel, he could be the reason four other people find out about a trip, and decide to take the chance. Traveling is not just for the personal experience; it’s for the knowledge a person can share with society. And through travel, you appreciate home more and the people you left behind too.
My greatest hope is that I can take this experience with me; the friendships, the culture, the language, the sights and experiences, and bring them with me no matter what I do and where I go in the future. There are so many opportunities out there and I hope that as I explore and learn, others will be influenced to do the same. To the quotes...
1. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain
2. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine
3. “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.” – Robert Louis Stevenson
4. “The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson
5. “All the pathos and irony of leaving one’s youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time.” – Paul Fussell
