My current passport is a little bruised, broken, weathered, and torn. So when I was watching (read: binging) Sorry Girls this morning and I came across this old video about passport covers, I had every intention of actually making the passport cover and showing it to you.
In other words, my last-minute DIY attempt looked bad and you don’t want to see it.
On the bright side, I ended up gathering a lot of beautiful passport quotes – words that I gobbled up and let simmer in my head. By the end of the day (after skimming through hundreds), I wanted to pack my bags and go somewhere. Anywhere.
I really hope these passport quotes help you get inspired for your next trip.
Update: Thanks to a reader, I recently found this Etsy travel shop that sells stunning printables of some of these passport quotes (but they’re cheekier versions which I’m all for). I’m definitely buying several of these digital prints (they’re so chic) and adding them to my home office desk for a pop of sass. I’ll link the shop here if you’re interested!

I’m so glad you enjoyed the post, Nandih! Here’s one from one of my favorite authors-
“Africa – You can see a sunset and believe you have witnessed the Hand of God. You watch the slope lope of a lioness and forget to breathe. You marvel at the tripod of a giraffe bent to water. In Africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. In Africa, in the midday heart, you can see blisters in the atmosphere. When you are in Africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world.” – Jodi Picoult

Great post! I’m even more inspired to travel now 🙂
Liked “I’d rather have a passport full of stamps than a house full of stuff.”, and “If you look like your passport photo, you probably need the trip.” the most though I think 😀
Fun post, but the first image with “Just go” got me. In two short words it captures the essence of my favourite travel quote ever: “If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.” -Anthony Bourdain
Fantastic post. In love with your words and descriptions.
