Travel Quotes

Travel, whether it be for pleasure, business, to volunteer, to study, or to visit family and friends, can be an unbelievable pleasure. While we joke “Travel expands the mind … but loosens the bowels”, it is the former that is much more important. We need to get out of our comfort zone every once in a while. We need to challenge ourselves. We need to learn about other cultures. We need to meet people who are different than we are, though we are all basically the same. We need a break from our daily lives. We need to have fun!

The following quotes, which are contained my book, tell us a lot about the reasons why we travel, and a lot about travel itself! Enjoy!
