7 Quotes That Will Make You Want To Travel
Abbey Stoetzel

I am a big fan of traveling, and I am constantly dreaming of going to new places. What I like to do in some of my little free time is look at Pinterest, and that mainly includes things related to traveling. So here are some quotes that will make you want to travel the world:

"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list." —Susan Sontag

"Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport." —Unknown

"Once a year, go someplace you've never been before." —Dalai Lama

"If you're 22, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel -- as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them -- wherever you go." —Anthony Bourdain

"I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five-years-old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses." —Bill Bryson

"Travel is still the most intense mode of learning." —Kevin Kelly

"I beg young people to travel. If you don't have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and you're going to see your country differently, you're going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You're going to get a sense of what globalization feels like. It's not what Tom Friedman writes about; I'm sorry. You're going to see that global climate change is very real. And that for some people, their day consists of walking 12 miles for four buckets of water. And so there are lessons you can't get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people -- Americans and Europeans — come back and go, ohhhh. And the light bulb goes on." —Henry Rollins

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
