When faced with doubt or uncertainty, we tend to seek inspiration from others or from situations and writings addressing our challenges. It is in human nature to solicit that universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity. Such case is when we think of taking up the traveling challenge, but seem to always have reasons to take a rain check on the plans. Whenever this happens, an inspirational touch, like these 15 quotes listed by Jumia Travel<\/a>, become a prerequisite to awakening your sleeping wandering spirit.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn\u2019t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.\u201d \u2013 Mark Twain<\/li>\n
  2. \u201cInvestment in travel is an investment in yourself.\u201d ~ Matthew Karsten<\/li>\n
  3. \u201cPerhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.\u201d \u2013 Maya Angelou<\/li>\n
  4. \u201cDon\u2019t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you traveled.\u201d \u2013 Mohammed<\/li>\n
  5. \u201cThe world is a book and he who doesn\u2019t travel only reads one page.\u201d \u2013 St. Augustine<\/li>\n
  6. \u201cWe travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.\u201d \u2015 Pico Iyer<\/li>\n
  7. \u201cI have found out that there ain\u2019t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.\u201d \u2013 Mark Twain<\/li>\n
  8. \u201cWhat you\u2019ve done becomes the judge of what you\u2019re going to do \u2013 especially in other people\u2019s minds. When you\u2019re traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don\u2019t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.\u201d \u2013 William Least Heat Moon<\/li>\n
  9. \u201cNOT I \u2013 NOT ANYONE else, can travel that road for you, You must travel it for yourself.\u201d \u2013 Walt Whitman<\/li>\n
  10. \u201cI see my path, but I don\u2019t know where it leads. Not knowing where I\u2019m going is what inspires me to travel it.\u201d \u2013 Rosalia de Castro<\/li>\n
  11. \u201cTraveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things \u2013 air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky \u2013 all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.\u201d \u2013 Cesare Pavese<\/li>\n
  12. \u201cThe use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.\u201d \u2013 Samuel Johnson<\/li>\n
  13. \u201cWhen we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our personality and get into the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don\u2019t know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.\u201d \u2013 D. H. Lawrence<\/li>\n
  14. \u201cWe live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.\u201d \u2013Jawaharial Nehru<\/li>\n
  15. \u201cAdventure is a path. Real adventure \u2013 self-determined, self-motivated, often risky \u2013 forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind \u2013 and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.\u201d \u2013 Mark Jenkins<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
