Still safe, but outside your comfort zoneġ7. Adventure should be 80 percent 'I think this is manageable,' but it's good to have that last 20 percent where you're right outside your comfort zone.
Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.ġ6. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Certainly, travel is more than seeing the sights, it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of livingġ5. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.ġ4. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel, initially, to lose ourselves and we travel, next to find ourselves. I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.ġ3. I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.ġ2. I could spend my life arriving each evening in a new cityġ1. If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay homeġ0. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.ĩ.
Travel is like love, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. Attitude is the difference between an ordeal and an adventureĨ. To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.ħ. There is something about the momentum of travel that makes you want to keep moving, to never stopĦ. And then there is the greatest risk of all - the risk of not spending your life doing what you want on the bet that you can buy yourself the freedom later to do itĥ. As you move outside of your comfort zone, what was once the unknown and frightening becomes your new normal.Ĥ. The joy of discovery is the single most important thing in life. We think they might do the same for you.ġ. These are the ones that hold a special place in our hearts as they’re the ones that drove us to make some crazy/great life decisions. Kicking it off, we're sharing our personal favourite travel and adventure quotes.
So here are our favourite quotes about adventure and travel to inspire you to live that life you've always dreamed about. Heck, we even own a beautiful old bronze compass with Mim’s favourite travel poem, “the road not taken” by Robert Frost inscribed in its lid now.Īlthough these same travel quotes now fill Instagram captions and Pinterest feeds daily (shameless plug: go follow our Pinterest account right now!), they still hold a special place in our hearts - which is why we really wanted to share our faves with you and hope that you will be inspired to follow your dreams, a little like we were.
We’re not going to say they were the sole reason for us to follow our dreams - nor that our life has become some kind of poetic dream - but they certainly sowed the seed to live the life we’d always dreamed about. Our workplace productivity might have been questionable, our emails cheesy AF, but we related to them and in some small way they drove us to follow the life of travel we dreamed about.įast forward five years, and in many ways, we are actually living by many of those quotes. It's kind of funny/sad looking back upon it the two of us in our little cubicles at our respective workplaces, emailing each other beautifully designed travel quotes ( weheartit was life!) all through the dull winter working days, discussing how one day we’d be living our life by these very same quotes. There was a time when quotes on adventure or travel inspired us a lot.
