I like these two from R L Stevenson:

To travel hopefully is better than to arrive

and

There is no foreign land; it is the traveller only that is foreign,

These responses are even better than I hoped, when I first posted!

Thank you all! :-)

“To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” – Aldous Huxley

“I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.”

"I have chosen Mr. Baggins and that ought to be enough for all of you. If I say he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is, or will be when the time comes. There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself. You may (possibly) all live to thank me yet"

“I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.”
