I like the list! Thanks @mspath. Reminded me of an essay I read long long ago in a Canadian newspaper… in which the writer was explaining that *vacating* her day-to-day habits, life, etc and becoming some other version of herself (better, generally) was the goal of her “taking leave” of home and wandering off…

Not as high minded but I still laugh out loud when I read this for the umpteenth time:

"It had struck me as odd that a large crowd had gathered to see us off. I now realized that they were not seeing us off; they were coming too". (Peter Fleming - News from Tartary).

Easily pleased I know.

I think this is my favourite: “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”

Thanks! I liked the two by Bourdain. I only heard of him when his own journey was over. This one is my favourite, of the 60:
"So much of who we are is where we have been.”

On this list, the ones by Paulo Coelho and Bryson are my favorites.

My favorite travel quote (on any list):

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” — Mark Twain
