41 Original Quotes About Traveling

Traveling is…

A Big Adventure with a capital A.

I love traveling.  So, I decided to make a tribute for Miss (Or, should I say Mister?) Travelling.  I asked a bunch of travel writers to contribute to this list by creating their own quotes.  The idea; convince you (if you are not already convinced) that traveling is worth it! …And to prove to you that traveling is more than a cute quote.

Travel junkies, travel newbies, aspiring travelers and travel writers, are you ready for this Massive Travel Revelation?

Warning: If you read this, you might want to jump on a plane sooner than you think!  Good news!  You don’t have to be rich to travel!

BEFORE YOU GO

 

☑ Book your flight: If your flight isn’t booked yet – check out the flights on Skyscanner or via Google Flights. My top saving tip is flexibility. If you’re flexible, you should be able to find a cheaper flight.

☑ Book your accommodation: I always use Airbnb and Booking.com. If you’d rather stay in a hostel, you should take a look at the options on Hostelworld. If you click on the Airbnb link and you don’t have an account yet – you’ll get a $30 discount on your first booking.

☑ Protect your cute face: Oh, you may want to protect your cute face with a travel medical insurance. I would suggest SafetyWing as they offer the best rates, especially for long-term travelers. Otherwise, you can also take a look at World Nomads.

☑ Pack the essentials: You can consult this list when it’s time to pack your bag! Do not leave without a universal charger, a power bank and your passport!

☑  Do you need a visa? If you aren’t sure if you need a visa, it would be a smart idea to take a quick look before you go. You can use iVisa – it’s super useful and easy to use.

Exploring Kolmanskop: Namibia’s Ghost Town in the Desert

Image
I ducked beneath the barrier and jogged across a nearby sand dune. When I reached the first derelict building, I looked behind me and shot Dave an exhilarated grin. I’ve been a rule-follower for much of my life, but I was learning that disobeying authority was kind of invigorating. I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face. There I was, standing in the centre of a Namibian ghost town, surrounded by desert, and Dave and I were the only people around. The town was dark, eerie, and foreboding; the only sound the thudding of my heart and gentle crunch of sand underfoot. I took Dave’s hand in mine, crept forward a few feet, then ducked into the abandoned remains of somebody’s home. We had driven 1,500 kilometres (1,000 miles) out of our way to get here, and on Namibia’s bad roads, that equals a seriously big undertaking. With just two weeks to see Namibia’s highlights, we had packed a ton into our time so far — easing into the trip in Ovita, thr...

Trinidad Cuba Travel Guide: A Beautiful Colonial City

Image
Exploring the Best of Trinidad Cuba Trinidad, Cuba Trinidad is Cuba’s best preserved colonial city, a unique mix of 1850’s architecture & 1950’s cars that feels frozen in time. Check out some of my favorite things to do in Trinidad. Trinidad was one of the first Cuban towns founded by the Spanish, growing wealthy from production of sugar cane, cattle, and tobacco (with the help of African slave labor). The town’s newfound wealth funded extravagant palaces, plazas, and colonial homes for rich plantation owners. Much of the architecture remains, one of the best-preserved historic towns in North America, becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Trinidad Cuba has become one of the most popular cities in the country for travelers, outside of Havana of course! You can walk down cobblestone streets, listen to live music in the plaza, cool off with fresh sugar cane juice, hop into a horse-drawn carriage, chat with locals, or visit fascinating colonial muse...
