I hope you enjoy the safe journey wishes in this post!
Safe and enriching travels, my friend.
It was about 5 years ago that one of the loveliest people I’ve ever met sent that message to me.
At the time, I was just about to embark on a trip around New Zealand.
I set off with those beautiful words ringing in my ears, and they’ve stayed with me ever since.
For me, they provide the perfect example of safe journey wishes, and how the right message can have such a powerful effect on a traveller.
I mean, travelling is massively exciting, but it’s scary too.
Hearts race as the departure date looms; fear sets in as you imagine leaving home and parting ways with friends and family.
Receiving well-wishes from the people that matter most (and even from those you barely know) can make a big difference.
Those words provide reassurance, encouragement, and support.
The simplest message can provide just the dose of courage required to take that leap into the unknown.
You carry it with you into the adventures to come, packing them into your mental backpack to help you through any challenges ahead.
Are you wondering what to wish someone who’s about to go travelling?
Well, there’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from the internet! I’ve put together a long list of safe and happy journey wishes that I hope will help out.
Sound good? Keep reading!
