Surviving Europe: 21 Offbeat Travel Quotes That Will Inspire You to Dream - Feature

Okay, I admit it. I am a complete sucker for travel quotes. When you’re taking the road less traveled, away from the office space, travel quotes keep you motivated. They take the place of that inspirational boss who pushes you to work hard. They remind you that you following your dreams will always lead to success.

And in our search for motivation to follow through and move abroad to Austria, we came across our fair share of inspiration. Whether the words came from Walt Disney, JRR Tolkien or an unknown author, each quote helped us in a completely different way. Their words reminded us to focus on what’s most important in life: PASSION.

Here is a list of travel quotes that have made a difference in our lives. We’ve paired them with images from our travels that depict the same feeling the words convey. We hope they inspire you to think outside of the box, figure out what your heart wants, and follow it blindly, without looking back.
