Anthony Bourdain Travel Quotes & Words of Wisdom

anthony-bourdain-travel-quotesOne of the most celebrated and beloved travelers of all time is former chef Anthony Bourdain. Tony spent is later years as a travel host on several different television programs from CNN to the Travel Channel exploring international cuisine, culture, and human stories.

One of the many reasons people love him so dearly was his ability to connect with locals no matter where he was traveling to tell his story. Over the years of adventures and words of wisdom Bourdain shared with us he has left his imprint on the world permanently through his adventure and travel quotes and old episodes of his best shows.

Here are some of our favorite Anthony Bourdain travel quotes and words of wisdom.

 

“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.”

“Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.”

“Drink heavily with locals whenever possible.”

“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you.”

“I’m a big believer in winging it. I’m a big believer that you’re never going to find perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one. Letting the happy accident happen is what a lot of vacation itineraries miss, I think, and I’m always trying to push people to allow those things to happen rather than stick to some rigid itinerary.”

“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.”
