  2. Adventurous people are the best! They have so many stories to share. This kind of people really inspired me to take more risks in my life and make it more fun.

  3. I love these travel quotes. They are what keep us going to travel the wonderful world.

  4. Love all these quotes and I also have my own favourites – one which you have already quoted, which is also very popular “Explore. Dream. Discover.” by Mark Twain and I also love the one “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page”. Also, “You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

  5. My favourite quotes are always about traveling and I’m always trying to put some when I post my travel photos on social media. I found in your post new ones that I didn’t know about – thanks!
