I was extremely lucky that I had two great wives. It sounds a bit funny to say that, but it’s absolutely true.
Edmund HillaryI was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.
Amy WinehouseHere ends my forever memorable first High Sierra excursion. I have crossed the Range of Light, surely the brightest and best of all the Lord has built. And, rejoicing in its glory, I gladly, gratefully, hopefully pray I may see it again.
John MuirI like to combine visits to more than one place when I go on my international tours in order to get more done. I’m from Ahmedabad where we have a saying, ‚Single-fare, double journey.‘
Narendra ModiI love travelling full stop – so while I’ve had some harrowing instances, I never look at them negatively. Memories are made when you’re travelling – not when you’re chained to your desk.
Richard BransonWhere ever I am I always find myself looking out the window wishing I was somewhere else.
Angelina JolieHong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you’ve got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it’s a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.
Anthony BourdainAs a teenager, I went to Bali a lot, but it’s a long, long way from England. Which is why, when we bought Necker Island, we made it like a mini Bali.
Richard BransonI mean, Hawaii is beautiful, but the world is full of beautiful places.
Robert KiyosakiI was in Europe and it was at this stage that I fell in love with Americans in uniform. And I continue to have that love affair.
Madeleine AlbrightMy experiences in life are getting bigger and better. The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about – having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character.
Kevin HartYou want to do good things, and once you’ve done a couple of good things in a row, you think ‚Well gee, let’s not mess this up.‘ But I am lucky at this point that I have something I really love to do, and it completely holds my attention. I never feel frustrated by it.
Jerry SeinfeldI was born in Europe… and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerThere is no way I would ask others to go on a Virgin Galactic flight if I didn’t feel it was safe enough for myself.
Richard BransonLike all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.
Benjamin DisraeliLife is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.
HypatiaTouring is very routine. You get to the city, you go to the hotel, you got to be at the hotel by a certain time – it’s very routine. I’m not a very structured person, so when I get some structure, it’s cool; it’s good for me.
J. ColeIn all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times.
John MuirI guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
Stephen KingWhen I was 18, I went to the Soviet Union. I kept hearing that America was planning to bomb them – lots of bombs were going to come down on these people. I went there not knowing anything, except that I thought the whole thing was stupid and that I wanted to see who these people were that we were going to bomb.
Alice WalkerOn vacations: We hit the sunny beaches where we occupy ourselves keeping the sun off our skin, the saltwater off our bodies, and the sand out of our belongings.
Erma BombeckSoutheast Asia has a real grip on me. From the very first time I went there, it was a fulfillment of my childhood fantasies of the way travel should be.
Anthony BourdainYou learn a lot from traveling around.
AuroraI’ve been to Uganda and to North Korea and to Eritrea, countless horror spots around the world.
Christopher HitchensI never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
Oscar WildeHappy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
Charles DickensThe land created me. I’m wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I’m more at home in the vacant lots.
Bob DylanOne travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.
Thomas JeffersonI guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn’t that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. I’d already been translating French poetry, I’d been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went.
Paul AusterEverywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.
Steven WrightTomorrow morning before we depart, I intend to land and see what can be found in the neighborhood.
Christopher ColumbusI’ve been here before and will come again, but I’m not going this trip through.
Bob MarleyI’ve been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that’s kind of a religious belief. I mean, it’s at least a moral belief.
Bill GatesAll I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.
Dave GrohlIf you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there.
Robert KiyosakiI love Africa, and Ulusaba, our home in South Africa, is pretty special. It’s on a rocky hill overlooking the bush, and from your room, you can see lions stalking zebras by the waterhole.
Richard BransonI had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!
William ShakespeareTo recruit staff, I traveled all over the country talking with people who had been working on one or another aspect of the atomic-energy enterprise and people in radar work, for example, and underwater sound, telling them about the job, the place that we are going to, and enlisting their enthusiasm.
J. Robert OppenheimerAgainst my will, in the course of my travels, the belief that everything worth knowing was known at Cambridge gradually wore off. In this respect my travels were very useful to me.
Bertrand RussellLife is an adventure, it’s not a package tour.
Eckhart TolleSevier County is a great area.
Dolly PartonI’ve been everywhere in the world, seen everything, had everything a man can have.
Muhammad AliEverywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaI am not solicitous to examine particularly everything here, which indeed could not be done in fifty years, because my desire is to make all possible discoveries, and return to your Highnesses, if it please our Lord, in April.
Christopher ColumbusActing helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I’m very, very grateful; it’s a fun job. It’s a luxury.

Anthony BourdainThere’ll always be serendipity involved in discovery.
Jeff BezosI’ve grown accustomed to hotels and drastic climate change.

Hermann HesseIt was the nation and the race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion’s heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.
Winston ChurchillAt the age of 6, a teacher full of ambitions, who taught in the small public school of Biran, convinced my family that I should travel to Santiago de Cuba to accompany my older sister who would enter a highly prestigious convent school. Including me was a skill of that very teacher from the little school in Biran.
Fidel CastroTo travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Aldous HuxleyEveryone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuses himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels.
Henry AdamsI came to China to follow my star and to steep myself in the raw regions of the universe.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinI did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.
Henry David ThoreauWith all the travel we’re doing to cold-weather cities, your mind definitely starts to wander. It gets you away from the game. Even when you arrive in a city, you’re tempted to just sit in your hotel and rest. Sometimes it’s nice to just get out and walk around, to see what’s there.
Stephen CurryI think it’s a very good thing to leave your country and look at it from afar.
Paul AusterBy seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.
Samuel JohnsonThe glamour of it all! New York! America!
Charlie Chaplin
