اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَايَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ

Allahumma ba'id bayni wa bayna khatayaya kama ba'adta baynal-mashriqi wal-maghrib

O Allah, put distance between me and my sins as You have put distance between the East and the West.

SahihSahih al-Bukhari 744, Sahih Muslim 598

Originally an opening du'a of prayer, but the travel metaphor makes it fitting for journeys. The greatest distance on earth — East to West — is used to describe how far you want to be from your sins. Every journey is an opportunity for a fresh start: new places, new beginnings, new distance from old mistakes. Travel is a physical reset; this du'a makes it a spiritual one too.
