I always find myself searching for quality quotes about travel and traveling experiences. In turn, I always find myself coming across the same old thing; most frequently, “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page” –St. Augustine. Sure, it’s a great quote, but I want something new.. different.

So I started collecting quotes that caught my eye, over the internet, books, advertisements and travel related magazines and articles. I would select only the best, and ignore the rest. I wanted my list to reflect my tastes, and exceed average qualities.
