Haha these gave me a laugh, I especially love 98! Thanks so much for sharing!

Hello Jasmine. I am glad they gave you a good laugh!

Some fantastic quotes here! I definitely laughed aloud at some of these! My personal favourite is always “Airplane travel is nature’s way of making you look like your passport photo.” I’m not sure how those machines manage to make me look SO bad in the photo, but it is definitely an accurate representation of how I look when I get off a plane!

Hi Hannah! I am so happy you enjoyed the quotes. That is a good one. They make me look bad too! lol

These quotes are so cute! And there are so many I haven’t heard before -they kept me entertained for a while! Thanks for putting a smile on my face 🙂

Fun collection of quotes. #31 about not wanting a house, just to travel and pet a lot of dogs – that could have been said by one of my daughters.

Hi Rhonda! I feel the exact same way as your daughter. She sounds wise! Thanks for reading!

101 Funny Travel Quotes

The one thing you should always pack when traveling is your sense of humor. Things may not always go as planned, and in the end, the difference between an inconvenience and an adventure is a question of attitude.

The pandemic had us all stranded at home for way too long, so let’s check out some fun travel quotes to help lift your spirits and give that old funny bone a good workout.

For a good giggle, or a funny travel quote to accompany your Insta post, we’ve hunted high and low to pull together this list of some of the funniest travel quotes for your enjoyment. Check them out!

1. Work tip: Stand up. Stretch. Take a walk. Go to the airport. Get on a plane. Never return.

Our opening travel quote is a real gem. Don’t we all wish we could do this? If only it were that simple! In theory, it is, but the reality is that life happens to us all.

2. “You can’t buy happiness” Okay, explain travel then..

3. all you need is love and a passport..

The Broke Backpacker is supported by you . Clicking through our links may earn us a small affiliate commission, and that's what allows us to keep producing free content 🙂 Learn more .

4. A plane ticket is the answer. Who cares what the question is.

5. i googled my symptoms. turns out i just needed to go on a vacay..

6. Tripophobia (n.) The fear of not having any travel trips booked.

7. stuck somewhere between “i need to save” and “you only live once.”.

Boy, isn’t this the truth! The desire to throw caution to the wind is strong in many of us, but reality, however small and softly spoken, weighs in to keep us in check. On the one hand, the more you save, the more places you can go and the more luxuriously you can travel. But on the other, you can always figure it out as you go. Which one are you?

8. You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy plane tickets – which is kind of the same thing.

9. a coconut a day keeps the doctor away..

10. Backpacking is money spent on education.

They say the best way to learn is to do, and what better way to do than to head off into the great unknown with only the essentials on your back? Backpacking is undoubtedly the most outstanding teacher. You’ll learn about the world, about people, and the most valuable lessons about yourself.

11. I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m going. Are you coming with me?

12. i’m getting tired of waking up and not being at the beach., 13. yeah, working is great.. but have you tried traveling, 14. “kilometers are shorter than miles. save gas and take your next trip in kilometers.” – george carlin..

Want to save money on accommodation?

We got you. For reals.

15. At the end of the day, I’d rather have a lot of stories to tell than a full bank account.

Those epic stories of places you’ve been and things you’ve seen will warm your heart when you’re old and grey in a way that a loaded bank account will not.

16. Forget champagne and caviar – taste the world instead.

17. i need six months of vacation. twice a year..

18. Physically, I’m here. Mentally I’m in a pool in Bali ordering my third mojito.

19. i’m a travel fiend on the road to recovery. just kidding. i’m headed to the airport., 20. good things come to those who book flights..

If you don’t stand at the bus stop, you’re not likely to catch the bus. Similarly, if you don’t put yourself on adventure’s path, you won’t have any. Book the flight. Put yourself out there and see what happens.

21. I need a vacation so long, I forget all my passwords!

22. i’ve got 99 problems. but i’m on vacation, so i’m ignoring them all.

23. Don’t speak the language? Already said “what?” three times. Just smile, nod and hope for the best.

24. me: “i want to travel more.” my bank account: “like, to the park”.

The struggle is so real for many of us! This funny travel quote reminds us that many of us have champagne dreams on a water budget. You only need to scroll on Instagram to see incredible places and beautiful people living their very best life to remind you that your bank account is totally holding you back.

25. My favorite childhood memory is my parents paying for my holidays.

26. reality called, so i hung up., 27. me traveling: person: “un cafe” me: “oui” person: “sucre” me: “non” person: “you speak very good french” me: “gracias.”, 28. there should be sympathy cards for having to go back to work after a vacation..

We couldn’t agree more with this funny travel quote. Reality hits like a speeding train after a glorious escape. It’s the return to the same old , a mountain of emails, and the unpacking that bring on the blues after traveling.

29. I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just want a paycheck to buy plane tickets.

30. I wish I was a postcard. For under $2 you can travel the world to any location in the world.

31. i feel like most of my work problems could be solved with a trip to.. anywhere., 32. i travel a lot; i hate having my life disrupted by routine..

Life is what happens when you’re traveling, and everything else is just a means to an end. A true wanderer thrives on the unexpected, and ever-changing scenery. Going to the same job every day to earn money is simply a way to afford the trips that remind you that you’re truly alive.

33. Have you ever stopped to think, maybe travel is into me?

34. how can people my age plan spontaneous trips to thailand i can barely afford a spontaneous soft pretzel., 35. education is important. but travel is importanter, 36. friend: let’s go to bora bora. me: man, i wanna go, but i’m pora pora..

We’ve tested countless backpacks over the years, but there’s one that has always been the best and remains the best buy for adventurers: the broke backpacker-approved Osprey Aether and Ariel series.

Want more deetz on why these packs are so  damn perfect? Then read our comprehensive review for the inside scoop!

37. If anyone is Christmas shopping for me, I wear a size 7-day Caribbean cruise.

38. people having babies and i’m like; what country am i going to next.

We know this feeling all too well! Not everyone’s journey needs to look the same. Follow your heart.

39. Do you ever stress about money and then accidentally book another flight?

40. Europeans: I drove 40 minutes to spend the weekend in Paris, then popped to Germany to visit family on the way home. Australians: I was in Queensland and drove for 18 hours. Now I’m still in Queensland.

41. friend 1: i’m getting a house. friend 2: i’m having a baby. friend 3: i’m getting married. me: i’m headed to the airport., 42. ironing boards are surfboards that gave up their dreams and got a boring job. don’t be an ironing board..

It’s just a funny travel quote on the surface, but so true. If your dream is to travel, don’t let anyone stop you. Don’t deny the lure of the open road. Else you risk living out your days always wondering what if , and regretting those adventures you never took. You could be riding epic waves or stuck in a dark corner and doing a mindless job every day. Choose wisely!

43. I followed my heart, and it led me to the airport.

44. if you had to choose between true love or traveling the world, which country would you visit first, 45. imagine falling in love with someone and then finding out they clap their hands when the plane lands., 46. i’ve got a crush on the world..

And what’s not to love? There’s so much to see and explore!

47. I want someone to look at me the way I look at a travel magazine!

Is there a gaze more full of desire than a traveler flipping through a travel magazine? It’s a love affair like no other.

48. Birds literally just eat, travel, and make a mess on things they don’t like. I don’t know about you, but that’s the lifestyle I’m striving for.

49. high five if you don’t know what you’re doing with your life and just want to travel the world..

There was a time when a nomadic lifestyle was frowned upon, or at the least regarded with suspicion. Air travel and technology have made it so much easier to chase the life of which you’ve always dreamed.

50. Everyone should believe in something. I believe I should be on the beach drinking Margaritas.

51. Can we just skip to the part in my life where I travel the world?

52. getting out of bed would be 10x easier if there was a caribbean ocean and 30-degree weather waiting outside for you., 53. live a life you don’t need a vacation from..

Ok, this one isn’t the funniest travel quote, but it’s true – and we included it because everyone needs to be reminded. If your life makes you feel like you want to escape, you can change it. It might take time and planning, but it’s worth chasing.

54. Work hard. Travel harder.

55. packs two hours before leaving for a trip. unpacks three months after coming home..

We all know this person. Maybe you are this person. Unpacking is always such a chore. Once you unpack, the holiday is well and truly over. We can see why you’d put it off.

56. Me: triple-checked packing list. Also, me: forgets underwear, contact solution, and favorite chapstick.

57. procrastapacking (n.) the act of thinking about packing a suitcase instead of actually doing it..

And invariably, this ends with a mad scramble to get everything stuffed in a bag mere hours before your flight. You’ll have forgotten something important – it’s a given. Passport? Ticket? Money? You’ll figure the rest out.

58. Normal life: Wears the same top every day for a week. Packing for 3-day vacation: I’ll probably change a few times a day, so I’ll take 21 tops.

59. i have been to almost as many places as my luggage..

Oh, boy! Lost luggage woes. Who hasn’t had an awful experience of their luggage going missing? It’s all part of the adventure, though!

60. Running to the gate is my cardio.

61. the airport is a lawless place. 7 am drink a beer. tired sleep on the floor. hungry chips now cost $17., 62. i love those days when my only decision is window or aisle..

63. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need a trip.

Yikes! Find us one person who actually likes how they look in their passport pictures. It’s like the people taking those pictures are specifically instructed to make the subject look as awful as possible while still being vaguely recognizable.

64. What’s that medical condition called where you constantly need to have a trip booked?

65. you can’t make everyone happy. you are not a plane ticket., 66. in desperate need of a full body massage, four days of sleep, and a ticket to the bahamas., 67. “worst thing about being a tourist is having other tourists recognize you as a tourist” – russell baker., 68. “you define a good flight by negatives: you didn’t get hijacked, you didn’t crash, you didn’t throw up, you weren’t late, you weren’t nauseated by the food. so you are grateful.” – paul theroux., 69. “airplane travel is nature’s way of making you look like your passport photo.” — al gore..

A strong contender on our list of funny travel quotes. Why is it that no matter how uneventful and smooth the flight, you always arrive at your destination looking like you were hanging onto the landing gear the whole way?

70. “Don’t worry about the world ending today; it’s already tomorrow in Australia.” ~ Charles M. Schulz.

71. don’t be a tourist, be a traveler..

Oooh, deep! Tourists take pictures of all the major sites and attractions, tick a destination off their list, and move on. A traveler feels a place, tastes a place, and wants to get below the surface.

72. I need Vitamin Sea.

73. “i have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” ~ mark twain..

This quote has stood the test of time. Even in our modern world of speedy air travel and high-tech gadgets, traveling with others will make or break your relationship.

74. Work, save, travel, repeat.

Words to live by, if you ask us. Life summed up in one neat, funny travel quote.

75. Overpack. It’s why suitcases have wheels now.

76. “A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.” ~ John Steinbeck.

77. “drink heavily with the locals whenever possible.” ~ anthony bourdain., 78. i wish i had never gone traveling, said no one ever..

It’s funny because it’s true. You’ll always gain more than you lose.

79. Let’s wander where the WiFi is weak.

We’re all so overly connected that it’s essential to disconnect so that we reconnect to the things that really matter. Don’t miss the moments that count because you’re too busy trying to get the perfect picture to post online.

80. A change of latitude would help my attitude.

81. travel – because money returns, time doesn’t..

82. That moment when you’re asked where you got something, and you answer with the name of the country, not the name of the store.

83. “sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.” – jerry seinfeld., 84. “a hotel room all to myself is my idea of a good time.” – chelsea handler., 85. “airline travel is hours of boredom interrupted by stark moments of terror.” – al boliska., 86. “adventure without risk is disneyland.” – douglas coupland., 87. “backpacking is the art of knowing what not to take.” – sheridan anderson..

88. “I travel light but not at the same speed.” – Jarod Kintz.

89. “if you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, it’s lethal.” – paulo coehlo..

Another famous quote offering a snappy piece of life advice. Get out there now. There’s plenty of time to settle down into a routine later in life.

90. “I would totally give up travel, but I’m not a quitter.” – Anonymous.

91. “when preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. then take half the clothes and twice the money.” – susan heller..

Great advice wrapped up in a funny travel quote. You never need as much clothing as you think you will, and you always need more money than you budgeted.

92. “Once in a while, it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told.” – Alan Keightley.

93. “i feel like most of my problems could be solved with a trip to.. well, anywhere.” – anonymous., 94. “the gentle reader will never, never know what a consummate ass he can become until he goes abroad. i speak now, of course, in the supposition that the gentle reader has not been abroad, and therefore is not already a consummate ass.” – mark twain., 95. “the best way to know a city is to eat it.” – scott westerfeld..

Eating local foods is one of the best things about travel. Depending on the location, this may require a stronger stomach or a tongue immune to spice.

96. “Travel like Gandhi, with simple clothes, open eyes, and an uncluttered mind.” – Rick Steve.

97. “this is the first year i’m not going to fiji because of covid-19. normally, i do not go because i am poor.” — brooke miller..

We love this funny travel quote. Most of us usually aren’t able to travel because of budgetary reasons, but the recent pandemic gave us a new reason for not going anywhere. We’re so glad the hard lockdowns and travel bans seem to be behind us, and we can go back to blaming our bank accounts.

98. “I’ve had entire relationships that didn’t get as far as these airport security checkpoints.” — Michael LeRoux.

By 35, if I’m not engaged or already starting a family, I declare myself the aunt who’s always travelling & comes to family events tipsy.

You can’t make everyone happy. You are not a plane ticket.

Sandy toes and salty kisses.

Kilometres are shorter than miles. Save gas and take your next trip in kilometres.

I love when people say “just quit your job and travel.” Taking an Uber from the bar to my home is the only travel I can afford. 

Ironing boards are surfboards that gave up their dreams and got a boring job. Don’t be an ironing board.

Forget champagne and caviar – Taste the world instead.

I don’t want a house. I just want to travel and pet a lot of dogs.

“You can’t buy happiness” Okay, explain travel then…

Overpack. It’s why suitcases have wheels now.

It’s bad manners to keep a vacation waiting.

Physically I’m here. Mentally I’m in a pool in Bali ordering my third mojito.

I need a holiday. And by “holiday” I mean I need to move away and find a job. On the beach. With cocktails. 

Normal life: Wears the same top every day for a week. Packing for 3-day vacation: I’ll probably change a few times a day so I’ll take 21 tops.

There are some funny travel quotes that can be seen as being a bit sarcastic (and you know us Brits love our sarcasm!). Here are some of the most common-m

Can we just skip to the part of my life where I travel the world?

Can’t decide if I need a hug, an XL coffee, 6 ounces of vodka, or 2 months of travel.

I wish that road trips could pay my bills.

Instead of driving a Mercedes to work,  I’d rather ride on a bike to the beach.

The temptation to go to the airport, buy a one-way ticket, leave the country and live on my own has never been so real.

You know it’s time for a vacation when you start looking like the person on your driving license.

I’m busy.

Go to work. Open computer. Scroll for plane tickets for 6 hours. Close computer. Go home.

Work tip: Stand up. Stretch. Take a walk. Go to the airport. Get on a plane. Never return.

Reality called, so I hung up.

Travsessed ( n .) An obsession with travel. When all you talk or think about is your past or future trips.

Girls don’t wait for the prince anymore, they pack and travel the world.

Have you ever stopped to think, maybe travel is into me.

Europeans: I drove 40 minutes to spend the weekend in Paris, then popped to Germany to visit family on the way home. Australians: I was in Queensland and drove for 18 hours. Now I’m still in Queensland.

And last but not least, here are some of the best funny travel quotes for Instagram-

I stayed up all night to see where the sun went.. Then it dawned on me.

Sunsets. Life’s way to saying: ‘good job, you survived another day. Here’s something pretty!

You weren’t born to just pay bills and die.

Work hard. Travel harder.

A coconut a day keeps the doctor away.

At the end of the day.. I’d rather like to have a lot of stories to tell, than a full bank account.

Me thinking about how many flights I can book for the cost of a new iPhone 11 Pro.

I know there is a flight leaving today that could bring me far, far away!

I travel a lot, I hate having my life disrupted by routine.

I just want to travel the world, overspend at IKEA and drink coffee while cuddling puppies.

If anyone is Christmas shopping for me, I wear a size 10-day Caribbean cruise.

Me getting ready for vacation: manicure and pedicure, buy new Sephora products, spray tan, get waxed, get hair done, work out for a month, live off kale and veggies, try on 30K swimsuits and cry in dressing rooms. Husband getting ready for vacation: packs a bathing suit, flip-flops, a T-shirt, and calls it a day.

50 Funny Travel Quotes to Inspire Your Wanderlust

Traveling the world can be an adventure filled with unforgettable experiences, and sometimes, it’s the funny moments that make the journey even more memorable.

Whether you’re backpacking across Europe, cruising the Caribbean, or exploring the mysteries of Asia, a good laugh is a universal language that connects us all. So, pack your sense of humor and enjoy these humorous travel quotes that will hopefully bring a smile to your face, no matter where you are on the globe.

50 Hilarious Travel Quotes

To change it up, I included my own spin to these quotes, sharing a snippet of my own adventures and memories after each, bringing these words to life with tales from my travel diary.

“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” – Susan Sontag

For the insatiable traveler, this quote is a witty nod to the never-ending bucket list. We’ve decided that our travel bucket list isn’t actually in a bucket anymore. It’s more like an expandable pocket dimension.

“I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” – Mark Twain

So true! Traveling together non-stop for a year is how Micki and I learned marriage could work for us. If you can survive months living in a tiny van and still enjoy their company, you can likely get along forever.

“If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, it’s lethal”-  Paulo Coelho

It’s only funny because it’s true. Statistically, train connections in the USA are safer than getting out of bed every day. When in doubt, ride a train!

Birds literally just eat, travel, and shit on things they don’t like. I don’t know about you, but that’s the lifestyle I’m striving for. – Anonymous

Who knew that birdbrained might actually be a complement to some people. Having wings would be handy at times though.

“Jet Lag is for Amateurs.” – Dick Clark

This playful quip reminds us that true globetrotters know how to handle time zone changes with a grin. While it affects us all one way or another, pushing through it means you can get on with your journey sooner. Onward and upward!

“Airplane travel is nature’s way of making you look like your passport photo.” – Al Gore

A humorous observation about the less-than-glamorous side of air travel. It’s why we always laugh when people go out of their way to look good on their passport pictures. We’ve found it’s better to look so run down that no matter how badly you’re doing on your day of travel that they won’t think something is wrong with you. Same logic applies to your driver’s license.

“I travel a lot, I hate having my life disrupted by routine.” – Caskie Stinnett

Routine is just one of the many things nomads and wanderers try to avoid. Why have a repeat of yesterday when tomorrow can be anything?

“I’m a travel addict on the road to recovery. Just kidding, I’m headed to the airport.” – Anonymous

For those who find the allure of the airport irresistible, this quote is a humorous nod to our wanderlust. We purposely bought a house on one side of the city just to be closer to the airport. Just saying…

“Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth, it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.” – John Green

For me, this is a clever observation on the liberating spirit of travel and the adventures we’ll find when embracing that freedom. If the devil on your shoulder wins over the angel, that’s on you and not your destination. 😉

“There should be sympathy cards for having to go back to work after vacation.” – Anonymous

We’ve all felt the post-vacation blues, and this quote captures that sentiment perfectly.

“Kilometers are shorter than miles. Save gas, take your next trip in kilometers.” – George Carlin

A humorous take on the metric system by the legendary comedian, encouraging us to think differently about distances. One trick to happiness when traveling is to always round up or down until the number seems palatable. If you’re on a tight budget, forget I said that though.

“I follow my heart… and it usually leads me to the airport.” – Anonymous

Another witty testament to the heart’s desire for new adventures and experiences. While some people dread airports, we’ve always loved them.

“No place is ever as bad as they tell you it’s going to be.” – Chuck Thompson

Whether it’s travel, a movie, a book or a meal, always take other peoples opinions with a grain of salt. Most experiences are unique and we’ve both hated a city and loved it, with our expectations being the only difference between visits. Finding a nice place to sleep and a good restaurant goes a long way too.

“I’ve got 99 problems, but I’m on vacation and I’m ignoring them all!” – Anonymous

The perfect motto for anyone looking to temporarily escape the stresses of everyday life. Or, sell all your belongings and move your problems to another country where at least they’ll have a different accent.

Boy, those French. They have a different word for everything. – Steve Martin

A good reminder that there is no word for sorrow or regret in Timatuathian. Of course that language itself doesn’t exist so why would those two words exist anyway?

“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.” – Michael Palin

Ah, the joy and pain of the travel bug. It has a ferocious bite and often refuses to let go no matter how many miles you’ve put on or the amount of countries you’ve seen. The more you see, the more you realize there is to see and therein lies the problem.

Witty travel quotes, the second half

Remember, as St. Augustine once said, the world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. So turn the page, explore, and don’t forget to laugh along the way!

“You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy a plane ticket, and that’s kind of the same thing.” – Anonymous

A lighthearted reminder of how travel can bring joy into our lives. While it doesn’t take a lot of money to travel, more certainly never hurts.

“My favorite thing to do is go where I’ve never been.” – Diane Arbus

A simple yet profound statement about the essence of exploration and discovery. While it’s often the new that drives some, sometimes it can also be the old that they prefer to see in their rear view mirror.

“I would give up traveling but I’m not a quitter” – Anonymous

This quote is another playful turn on the hard work ethic and how sometimes when faced with adversity, it’s best to just bear down and keep at it, even if it’s enjoyable.

“A tourist is someone who drives thousands of miles to get a photo in front of their car.” – Anonymous

A playful jab at the classic tourist photo, this quote pokes fun at humans often absurd travel habits. Don’t worry, we have dozens of those pics as well. For instance, here we are in front of…

“The worst thing about being a tourist is having other tourists recognize you as a tourist.” – Russell Baker

This quote humorously captures the irony of trying to blend in, only to be spotted a mile away. We have tons of pics over the years wearing certain clothing from Thai pants in Thailand to an Outback hat in Australia and all they scream at us now is tourist in bright letters.

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

A funny reminder that travel can render us speechless with its beauty before filling us with tales to tell.

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” – Lao Tzu

This ancient wisdom reminds us that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. While I’m guessing Lao wasn’t spanning the globe, pretty sure he enjoyed his travels and was secretly prophesizing about his luggage never arriving.

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

While not overly humorous in it’s own right, it does remind me of a story about a friend who decided to forge his own path once on a hike and ended up needing to be cut down from a tree hours later. It was a thing but definitely adds to the adage that a good journey can be made great with a little extra humor thrown in.

Hilarious and inspiring travel quotes, the third half

Sometimes all you need to add to a travel memory is a dash of humor to make it unforgettable. Here are some more funny travel quotes to awaken your wanderlust.

“People don’t take trips, trips take people.” – John Steinbeck

While the imagery of a trip as a literal persona kidnapping a person, throwing them on a plane and making them have fun makes me laugh, this is in truth a thought-provoking quote that suggests travel has the power to transform us.

Side note: A Transformer named Trip would be just as amusing to me.

“A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead and dreams of a faraway place. A traveler on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of home.” – Carl Burns

This ironic quote captures the contrasting perspectives of the traveler and the stay-at-home dreamer. While we often dream of things we miss, having the ability to miss them in the first place is reason enough to jump on a plane and go someplace for a while. Perspective often needs distance to achieve itself.

“Travel is like an endless university. You never stop learning.” – Harvey Lloyd

A reminder that travel educates us in ways that go beyond traditional learning. I recall our trip to the Galapagos Islands where we not only learned about Charles Darwin’s thoughts on evolution but also the fact to get to the ferry early so we don’t have to sit in the open back for 2 hours getting soaked from the rain…

“A road trip is a way for the whole family to spend time together and annoy each other in interesting new places.” – Tom Lichtenheld

This funny quote definitely highlights the trials and tribulations of traveling with family. While new places and activities can hold some interest, 2 snippy children will argue no matter what’s in front of them. However, now they get to do it in another country!

“ If you are going through hell, keep going.” – Winston Churchill

Winston obviously knew what it was like driving in LA but I digress, the truth is that a journey isn’t over until it’s over and even then, you might not end up where you thought you would. The unknown is half the fun.

“Live your life by a compass not a clock.” – Stephen Covey

Obviously Covey wasn’t a clock maker, but his adage remains. It’s the direction we take in life that determines our situation and that can’t always be done on a set timetable. Inflexibility in travel means inflexibility in life. Bending a little sometimes gives you a different view on where you are and where you’re heading. It’s also good for the back and knees.

“Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.”- Anthony Bourdain

Anthony loved travel, meeting new people and trying new foods. Sure, that 2000 calorie piece of cake shouldn’t be on your everyday menu but are you seriously not going to try it once? Live a little.

“Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you travelled.” – Mohammed

The difference between knowledge and wisdom can often be measured by the amount of footsteps we’ve taken to get there. While the scholar reads about it, the traveler experiences it, tastes it, smells it, and digests it in such a way that they’re forever changed . The willingness to put oneself out there continually and the wisdom gained from such actions can speak volumes about a person.

“From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.” – Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss’ characters strode the globe in their pursuits to teach and entertain and often found humor in the most unlikely places. I once found it in a sock, under a rock, in a shoe, surrounded by goo and so can you.

“It is not the destination where you end up but the mishaps and memories you create along the way.”- Penelope Riley

Another quote not so humorous in it’s wording but funny in the mishaps department. Some of our most memorable moments on the road happened due to one mishap or another. Even our worst travel day ended with us saying “at least it will be an entertaining story one day.”

“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” – John A. Shedd

A classic example of a travel metaphor implying that we aren’t meant to stay in one place forever. We need movement to fulfill our purpose, regardless of the outcome. Though imagining all of us as little ships with legs walking around everywhere is also pretty funny to me.

“The further I go, the closer to me I get.” – Andrew McCarthy

Me is a person on the other side of the world doing something amazing at any moment. The closer to me I get, the more me I become. While I can’t always be me, I get solace in knowing that me is out there and I look forward to the day I get to be me again.

“A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.” – John Steinbeck

As Micki and I get closer to celebrating our 20th anniversary, the truth of this statement hits me. It’s all about the journey. Preventing the boat from capsizing isn’t about control, it’s about paying attention, watching out for hidden rocks and moving and changing with the river as opposed to fighting against it. Like a journey or a marriage, a river will take you where rivers take you. Enjoy the ride.

“ That moment when you’re asked where you got something and you answer with the name of the country, not the name of the store.” – Anonymous

We’ve been guilty of this dozens of times. For a while, everything we displayed was from another country or another trip. These days we’ve packed and unpacked our things too many times to even bother showcasing them anymore but we do own some nice boxes. That one we filled in Thailand, that one in Australia, that one in South America…

“ Going on a trip. Need about 5 outfits. I’ve packed 35 just to be safe.” – Anonymous

We’ve all done it though now we’ve learned from our mistakes and realize that in life we often dress to impress. The beauty of travel is most people don’t see you every day. Learn to get creative with your outfits. Maybe buy a nice hat and look out the window more often.

“Some beautiful paths can’t be discovered without getting lost.” – Erol Ozan

When you’re too busy following the path, sometimes you don’t realize you’re actually missing the journey. Explore beyond the path, there is always more to experience. More usually meaning beer, wine, food, music, art, dance and all the other good things in life worth pursuing.

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”- Terry Pratchett

We travel not only to see new things but also to be able to return to things we miss. Like distance, absence also gives perspective.

“ Ironing boards are surfboards that gave up their dreams and got a boring job. Don’t be an ironing board.” – Anonymous

Don’t be an ironing board is my new mantra. For the record, I also don’t want to be an anchor (it holds people back), a yesterday (it’s never in the present) or a sock (nothing funny, I just dislike socks).

“The world is waiting for you. Good Luck. Travel Safe. Go!” – Phil Keoghan

While travel isn’t always an amazing race, sometimes it can feel that way. Slow it down, explore, enjoy! Now Go!

“ Nothing lasts forever, except the day before you start your vacation.” – Gayland Anderson

No truer words have been spoken! Anticipation of an upcoming trip is still high on my list of things I look forward to.

“ You define a good flight by negatives: you didn’t get hijacked, you didn’t crash, you didn’t throw up, you weren’t late, you weren’t nauseated by the food. So you are grateful.” – Paul Theroux

The beauty of a new thing isn’t that it’s perfect or that it will instantly replace everything that was similar that came before. It’s the start of a new branch of something that can one day become amazing and transformative. Air travel started out rough (both figuratively and literally) and has gotten to the point where it can be a joy to sit down on a flight. I am grateful for that.

“You can’t control the past, but you can control where you go next.” – Kirsten Hubbard

Again we talk about control. While our journey should be allowed to happen as it happens, that doesn’t mean that sometimes you can’t point it in another direction. As winter approaches here, south seems prudent to me right now.

“I wonder if the ocean smells different on the other side of the world.” – J.A. Redmerski

Take it from me, it does. Everything does. Expectation often colors our reality. Color away my friends, color away.

“And that’s the wonderful thing about family travel: it provides you with experiences that will remain locked forever in the scar tissue of your mind.” – Dave Barry

Haha, family travel is a great way to experience the exact same trip from multiple points of view. A parent and a toddler can have the exact same day yet have very different takes on a situation. Same can be said for travel. Want to see the world differently? Explore it via your children and you’ll have a whole new understanding of the world. Hopefully it’s a positive experience for everyone but if not, at least there’s probably a good story in there somewhere.

May your travels be filled with laughter and joy. Remember, every journey is an opportunity for new stories and a good chuckle. Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer, especially when it comes with a side of laughter!

“Suddenly, in the space of a moment, I realized what it was that I loved about Britain . Every last bit of it, good and bad – Marmite, village fetes, country lanes, people saying ‘mustn’t grumble’ and ‘I’m terribly sorry but’, people apologizing to me when I conk them with a nameless elbow, milk in bottles, beans on toast, haymaking in June, stinging nettles, seaside piers, Ordnance Survey maps, crumpets, hot-water bottles as a necessity, drizzly Sundays – every bit of it.” ― Bill Bryson, Notes from a Small Island

This was not mild, polite British rain, but a rumbustious, glutinous, violent downpour in the dark, soon accompanied by lightning and thunder which, again, went on interminably, like hours of strobe lighting followed by aerial bombing .” ― Hanif Kureishi, The Guardian

“No, there’s nowt fancy on ferries. They are classless places, for all sorts. This is something you can take in at your leisure, as ships are the only mode of transit I can think of on which you can take a proper stroll.” ― Adrian Chiles, The Guardian

Ray Romano hilariously captures the chaos of family travel in this quote. From sleepless nights to the occasional mishap, it’s all part of the adventure when you’re on the road with the little ones.

2. “Jet lag is for amateurs.” – Dick Clark

Travelling can leave you tired and cranky, but this quote by Dick Clark makes light of the situation. It’s a reminder that you’re not the only one who’s tired, and it’s okay to be a little bit grumpy.

This funny travel quote reminds us that travel isn’t about running away from your problems, but about enriching your life and creating new experiences. So, make the most of every opportunity, and travel as much as you can.

7. “Are we there yet?” – Every Child Ever

A classic line that has stood the test of time. No family road trip is complete without the timeless question that echoes through the car. It’s a rite of passage for both parents and children alike.

8. “I’m not lost, I’m just exploring.” -Jana Stanfield

Getting lost is just part of the adventure when you’re travelling, and this quote by Jana Stanfield reminds us to embrace it. Don’t stress about taking the wrong turn or not knowing where you’re going; just enjoy the journey and see where it takes you. Sometimes the best memories are made when you’re lost in a new place.

9. “A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you’ve been taking.” -Earl Wilson

19. “The best part about a family road trip is after it’s over.” – Unknown

22. “the inventor of the snooze button never traveled with children.” – unknown.

Indeed, the concept of a snooze button loses all meaning when you’re on a family trip. Those extra few minutes of sleep are a rare luxury when your morning alarm is a child’s excited chatter about the day’s adventures. It’s a gentle reminder that, on family vacations, the pace is set by the smallest and most eager explorers. This relentless energy is what transforms a simple trip into an unforgettable expedition, filled with early mornings and action-packed days.

23. “Traveling with kids is like trying to blend a smoothie in a room full of monkeys – messy, unpredictable, and somehow still a lot of fun.” – Dave Barry

24. “the closest thing to a survival game: a family vacation without wi-fi.”.

In today’s digital age, being disconnected can seem like a daunting challenge, particularly for the younger tech-savvy generation. This quote playfully compares family vacations to survival games, emphasizing the adventure that comes from unplugging and connecting with each other instead of the internet. It’s a reminder that, sometimes, the best way to recharge is by going off the grid.

25. “The only thing more exhausting than traveling with kids is pretending you’re not exhausted while traveling with kids!”

26. “Who needs a workout when you’ve got kids to chase at the airport?”

Airports can feel like obstacle courses, especially with children. From sprinting to gates to lifting kids for a better view of the planes, it’s an unintentional workout that can exhaust even the most seasoned athlete. This quote highlights the comedic side of navigating through airports with a family, transforming stressful moments into opportunities for laughter and bonding.

27. “A family that travels together, navigates through chaos together”

Traveling with family is like being part of a well-oiled (sometimes rusty) machine. From frantic last-minute packing sprees to navigating foreign public transport, it’s the perfect recipe for chaos. Yet, amidst the missed turns and language barriers, families find a unique rhythm. This quote celebrates the beautiful, organized chaos of traveling with the ones you love.

28. “Family vacations are like a box of chocolates: full of surprises, sometimes sticky, and occasionally you end up with one you didn’t quite expect.”

29. “remember, as far as anyone knows, we are a nice, normal family.”.

The perfect caption for every family vacation photo, especially the ones where not everyone is looking at the camera, or someone’s mid-blink or mid-yawn. Vacations bring out all our quirks, showing that ‘normal’ is overrated. It’s these perfectly imperfect moments that make for the best travel tales.

30. “The only thing more unpredictable than the weather on a family trip is the mood of a toddler.”

31. “pack light, travel far, and live long,” but remember to pack extra snacks for the kids..

Packing for family travel means preparing for every possible scenario, making ‘packing light’ a bit of a pipe dream. Sure, packing light has its virtues, but when traveling with kids, snacks are the ultimate peacekeeper. A well-timed snack can turn a meltdown into a moment of blissful silence, proving that sometimes, more is more.

Travelling the world with your family is an adventure like no other, complete with its own set of comedic moments that become cherished family lore. These funny travel quotes capture the essence of the shared laughter, occasional chaos, and enduring love that make family vacations unforgettable. So, the next time you find yourself in the midst of a travel-induced debacle, remember to take a step back, laugh it off, and treasure the moments that make your family’s journey uniquely hilarious. Happy Travels!
