The Desire To Travel Is In the Blood of the Wandering Scotsman

I may be living in Barbados, which is over 3000 miles from my homeland of Scotland, but I still have a strong desire to travel and explore new lands. But due to work and the desire to build up a successful business, I will for the foreseeable future just have to dream about the many new places that I look forward to visiting.

Because I’m now living in the Caribbean region I plan on over the next few years visiting as many of the islands over here as I can, such as Dominica, St Lucia, Trinidad, Bahamas, Turks & Cacaos and many more.

Until I have the time to explore the rest of what the Caribbean has to offer I will have to content myself with inspirational travel quotes from people that truly understand the benefits and life enhancing experiences that are gained from traveling. I for one truly understand the importance of traveling and it is most certainly in my blood to go and experience new places, people and environments.

Here are some well known travel quotations that I find inspirational:

1. “Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” - Miriam Beard

2. “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” - Helen Keller

3. “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” - Henry Miller

4. “A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.” - John Steinbeck

5. “If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home.” - James Michener

6. “Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey.” - Fitzhugh Mullan

7. “Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.” - Benjamin Disraeli

8. “We 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.” - Jawaharal Nehru

9. “Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.” - Anatole France

10. “All the pathos and irony of leaving one’s youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time.” – Paul Fussel

I know at some point in the future I will have my business at a level which will give me the time and income to travel when I desire too. The Wandering Scotsman will soon be back on his travels enjoying life to the max.
