Funny Travel Quotes (That Are Laughably Relatable)

I didn’t intend to write a list of funny travel quotes today.

You see, I was looking up Robin Williams on travel and Google Images gave me the best results I could ask for: giant Mrs. Doubtfire sipping cups available for sale.

The Internet is a strange and wonderful thing.

For some reason, I started to remember the comedy gold of Robin Williams and proceeded to laugh like no one was watching.

Mostly because no one was watching.

I didn’t want the laughter to stop so I spent the better part of my morning compiling this list of funny travel quotes. Let’s take a look at them, shall we?

Update: Thanks to a reader, I recently found this Etsy travel shop that sells stunning printables of most of these cheeky travel quotes. I’m definitely buying several of these digital prints (they’re so chic) and adding them to my home office desk for a pop of sass. I’ll link the shop here if you’re interested!

Also, if you’re looking for fun, humorous, and punny ways to caption your vacation, here are over a hundred vacation captions for your photos!
