Traveling is the great true love of my life... I am loyal and constant in my love of travel. I feel about travel the way a happy new mother feels about her impossible, colicky, restless newborn baby - I just don't care what it puts me through. Because I adore it. Because it's mine. Because it looks exactly like me.
My dad is a pilot so I think I was born with the travel bug.
My parents took me around the world when I was young, so I caught the bug. Every person is different when he travels, and every travellers' story is uniquely his own.
A person susceptible to "wanderlust" is not so much addicted to movement as committed to transformation.
Everything I pick up seems to lure me away. Everything I do in my daily life begins to feel like striking wet matches. The need to travel is a mysterious force. A desire to 'go' runs through me equally with an intense desire to 'stay' at home. An equal and opposite thermodynamic principle. When I travel, I think of home and what it means. At home I'm dreaming of catching trains at night in the gray light of Old Europe, or pushing open shutters to see Florence awaken. The balance just slightly tips in the direction of the airport.
Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life
I have a bit of a traveling addiction, and, ah, yeah. I went to, ah, Bali this summer.
I think once you start traveling, you don't stop.
Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote.
I've always traveled, as a kid my parents moved me around, a different place in Germany every four years. But I got the travel bug when I was a kid, living in different countries.
The Wanderlust has got me... by the belly-aching fire
When you travel often, you will be addicted to it forever.
I'm travelling more than ever. I don't have the answer as to why, but the demand seems to have grown as I've got older.
I'm addicted to 'Lonely Planet' guides. Naturally, I'll buy one whenever I take a trip somewhere, but it goes beyond that: I've begun buying them for cities and countries I just hope to visit one day.
When I was younger, my father was in the Foreign Service and we lived in Nigeria, Panama, and London, but for the most part I grew up in the South and D.C. I got the travel bug as a little person and I've bounced around a lot.
I got the travel bug when I was quite young. My parents took me and my sisters out of school and we travelled all over Europe. It was an eye-opening experience and, although I love Norway, I also enjoy visiting new countries. I don't get homesick.
Travel is never a matter of money but of courage
There is something about the momentum of travel that makes you want to just keep moving, to never stop.
I love new cities, and if I haven't travelled for a month, the need to go somewhere starts to gets under my skin.
