All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.

You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I'm going, or when I've lived in a place so long that there's no chance I could possibly get lost.

Travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.

To travel is to take a journey into yourself.

Through travel, you discover a new aspect to your personality. You discover things which you wouldn't seated in the confines of your home.

Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going.

The two impulses in travel are to get away from home, and the other is to pursue something - a landscape, people, an exotic place. Certainly finding a place that you like or discovering something unusual is a very sustaining thing in travel.

I have a terrible fear of travel. Just before we go, I start to panic and tell my wife I don't want to go. It's ridiculous. But actually it's only when it's somewhere I've not been to before.

The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

Traveling is one of few zones of experience where you are not directly plugged into the world around you. You're not part of the society you're passing through.
