Quotes about Wanderlust
Chantelle Kincy
These are my favorite quotes about wanderlust and how to cure it.
I was born with wanderlust. I don’t know why. We didn’t travel as a family when I was growing up. I would dream of travel. I spent time looking at maps and encyclopedias (yes, I’m that old) and read about all the magical places in the world. When I planned my career in my mind, I planned to be a travel agent, a flight attendant, in the Air Force, anything I could think of that would help me GO! I ended up having kids early, and none of those other dreams had room anymore. Over the last few years, I have returned to that space in my heart and traveled. It brings me a joy nothing else can touch. It inspires me, humbles me, and feeds me.
When I’m not traveling, I am planning travel. I read about places, research activities, save and plan. Finding quotes that motivate me and excite me helps get me through the downtime. I have 10 quotes about Wanderlust that I turn to when I need a pick me up and I’d love to share them with you.
What is wanderlust?
wan·der·lust/ˈwändərˌləst:noun 1. a strong desire to travel.
What can I do about it?
Normally, I’d answer this question with a simple “Go! Go somewhere, anywhere”. Plan, and go! Or maybe don’t plan and just go? Currently, the world is in a holding pattern regarding travel. No travel for the foreseeable future has got those born with wanderlust in their veins itching to go more so than ever. Here are my 10 favorite quotes about Wanderlust to inspire, and tide us over until it’s time to go again.
This one is my favorite. This is the one I tell my kids, and what I would tell myself if I could go back. This is what I would tell to anyone who asks.

I love the last quote. I wish I would’ve started traveling sooner, but I’m thankful to be able to take my kids traveling and let them experience things from a younger age.
I can relate to all of these quotes! Love to wanderlust!
Love all of these…every single one made me smile. Like you, we didn’t travel as a family growing up – and I was mesmerized by maps and encyclopedias myself. And I’ve definitely made up for it as an adult. I believe travel is the best gift we can give ourselves and to our children.

That last one really touched me. I left university after my second year to travel and explore life. I’ve never regretted it. Be open and learn from others, good advice.
