Michael Palin Travel Quotations

I am not a great cook, I am not a great artist, but I love art, and I love food, so I am the perfect traveller.

The trouble with travelling back later on is that you can never repeat the same experience.

Hollywood was possible for a while! Why didn't I go along with it? Well, the other things that were pulling me back were more important. Being at home, being in the same marriage, these things enabled me to go off and travel in the first place.

I'm not your expert on Africa or animals or whatever. I'm not a travel writer or maker of documentaries. I was someone who doesn't know very much, trying to communicate.

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

Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote.
