Quote, saying, phrase, anecdote, expression, axiom, motto, mantra, – these are a few of the terms that describe the jumble of words we put together to summarize situations, offer advice, inspiration, and encourage introspection into the facets of our daily lives. Here are a few of my favorite travel quotes, and phrases relevant to travel. I hope these will be as thought-provoking to you as they have been to me.
