And it is also filled with people and culture that varies widely from place to place. 

Being able to see and experience different parts of the world is something that can make us better people. Eventually, you might consider moving your lifestyle to a whole other part of the world. If you are thinking about hiring a moving company like https://www.mybekins.com/ to take you across the globe, these inspiring quotes could your mind up and make you want to get out there and experience it all….

“Loving life is easy when you are abroad. Where no one knows you and you hold life in your hands all alone, you are more master of yourself than at any other time.” – Hannah Ahrendt

“It’s all expats with no money, no education and big ideas. All drunk with sunlight. They drifted to Malta. They can’t go home. Nothing to do.” – Jane Gardam 

” So, here you are. Too foreign for home, too foreign for here. Never enough for both.” – Ijeoma Umebinyuo

“Hong Kong has embraced her again, wrapping her in its dazzle and warmth and noise: the smells of her childhood, the food of her childhood, the lack of false sentiment of her childhood.” – Jane Gardam 

“My marriage too was being tossed about like a chair or lamp, but without any bubble wrap to cushion it from relocation bumps or breakage”. – Robin Pascoe

“Why did I hope we would be happy abroad? A change of environment is that traditional fallacy upon which doomed loves, and lungs, rely.” – Vladimir Nabokov

“All you will have is the present. Waste no energy crying over yesterday or dreaming of tomorrow. Nostalgia is fatiguing and destructive, it is the vice of the expatriate. You must put down roots as if they were forever, you must have a sense of permanence.” – Isabel Allende

“You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place, like you’ll not miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you’ll never be this way ever again.” – Azar Nafisi 

“And men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty waves of the sea, the broad tides of rivers, the compass of the ocean, and the circuits of the stars, yet pass over the mystery of themselves without a thought.” – St. Augustine

“The loneliness of the expatriate is of an odd and complicated kind, for it is inseparable from the feeling of being free, of having escaped.” – Adam Gopnik 

“She had not thought it would be so easy to slip into the old roles. Cambridge had changed her fundamentally and she thought she was immune. No one in her family, however, noticed the transformation in her, and she was not able to resist the power of their habitual expectations.” – Ian McEwan

“When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable” – Clifton Fadiman

“Maybe you had to leave in order to really miss a place; maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was. ” – Jodi Picoult 

“The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” – Christopher McCandless

 ” A journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step.” – Lao Tzu
