Find the best deals on hotels & vacation rentals on Booking.com .

For English-speaking private airport transfers, book through Welcome Pickups.

Make sure you check out this post too, travel quotes to inspire you to hit the road.

Going on Vacation Memes

When you just booked a trip.

Sets countdown timer to take off.

Only One More Day!

Tick tock. Tick tock. How many seconds are there in a day again?

The Excitement, The Ecstasy

I love this meme because it’s the way I always feel when I’m about to embark on a trip, or even sometimes when I’ve just booked the flights or made a decision to actually go!

Like running around shouting “I’m going on an adventure!”.

It comes from the The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey movie which is also filmed in my home country of New Zealand, and I visited the exact location of this shot recently so now I love it even more!

Sonja, Migrating Miss , Instagram

My Vacation Starts NOW

Don’t call. Don’t email. The fun starts now.

Me Leaving For Work The Day Before Vacation

See you suckers.

When You Leave Work to Start Your Vacation

Boom shackalaka boom.

We So Excited!

And we just can’t hide it.

That Smug Holiday Feeling

Rather me than you. #sorrynotsorry

Freedom, Sweet Freedom

The reward for hard work and perseverance is vacation.

Strollin’ Straight Outta Work Like

Sayonara B*tches, It’s Vacay Time

*tries to look sad but just can’t*

Funny Travel Memes That Obsessive Travellers Can Relate To

When people hassle you for travelling too much (as if that’s a thing).

My lovely family often blames me for travelling too much.

They always keep telling me why do I need to travel so much.

And when will I do all the normal things that ‘normal’ girls of my age do (Earlier it was marriage, now that I am already married, it has come down to having kids!).

Now both mine and my husband’s side of the family thinks I am obsessed with travelling. And whenever they tell me this, I roll my eyes and reply that I could have been a serial killer or drug addict.

And the irony is that I had started travelling as a kid with my parents and extended family of uncles and aunts!

Amrita, Tale of 2 Backpackers , Instagram

When You Love to Travel but your Bank Account is Cryin’ For Help

I picked this meme because not only is always appropriate to include High School Musical references, but also because it rings true as an ever-present struggle for many keen travellers.

Jetting off to new and exciting places can be expensive at the best of times, so when you’re constantly prowling Skyscanner for the next best deal your bank account is the first to suffer!

The play-off between the need to see the world and the need to sustain a living is a tough one, but as anyone who loves travel will tell you, you make it work somehow!

Suzy, Suzy Stories , Twitter

Babies or Travel? Travel.

What do we say to having babies? Not today!

This meme describes me in so many ways! I caught myself staring at my world map with the same interest my girl friends look at baby photos.

Okay, I’m closer to the 30s than to the 20s, but still…look at this map again.

There are so many places out there to explore! So, nope, not today.

Bruna, Maps ‘N Bags –   Facebook

Things I Like As Much as Travelling

I’m obsessed with travelling? Don’t know what you mean.

How I Choose My Next Travel Destination

If Traveling Was Free…

You’d never see me again. Joking!*

*not joking.

The Vacation You Want Vs. The One You Get

I’m totally OK with it. No, really.

The Beach is Calling

And I must go. My mother taught me good manners.

Vacation Mode. Check!

Turn on the happiness. Turn off the emails.

Did Someone Say Vacation? One Second…

OK, I’m ready.

Travelling is My Favourite!

I’d be a lot richer if that wasn’t true.

Funny Vacation Memes

When you’ve planned everything and your partner throws a curveball.

I love planning trips.  I find it fun, rewarding, and relaxing.  

I have all the hallmarks of a Type-A personality, however my husband loves chaos and ruining our travel plans.  

I still love planning, but he definitely loves to laugh a bit too evilly whenever he puts a kink into my perfectly planned road trips.

Karen, Wanderlusting K – Facebook

Throw A Pin on the Map? Maybe Not….

I found this meme on Pinterest years ago and have kept it in my “Humor” board ever since.

While I love the idea of just winging it and throwing a dart anywhere at a map, it’s also ironic because 70% of our world is covered by water.

So this meme just puts it into perspective how much we take the ocean and travel for granted. It also makes me laugh every time I see it and show it to people!

Natasha, The World Pursuit , Facebook

When It Turns Out to Be More of a Challenge than you Expected

This cycling meme particularly appeals to me, because I do a lot of my travel by bicycle.

I can’t mention how many times someone said the next section of road would be flat, and I ended up faced with this!

I think the beauty of this travel meme though, is that it is symbolic of any type of travel or even your journey through life.

Dave, Dave’s Travel Pages , Facebook

Escape Them All!

Just me, myself and I.

It’s Not My Problem Because… Vacation

Didn’t you get the memo? I’ll switch into give a sh*t mode in exactly two weeks.

Hi, My Name is…. And I’m an Overpacker

Well, you never know what might happen right!

Stop. Taking. Pictures. Dammit.

You said a holiday, not a fashion shoot.

Work? What’s Work?

Is it a Mimosa? No. Well I’m Not Interested Then.

Best Vacation Ever Memes

We are going to have so much fun.

As if our lives depended on it.

When You Maybe Shared Too Much on Social…

Oh, I mean, I thought I only put up a couple. Too many?

When You Are Having the Best Vacation And Your Heart is Filled With Generosity Instead of The Standard Lead

I feel alive! Is this what happiness feels like? Here, have some. 

Long Haul Flight Memes + Airport Travel Memes

The joy of getting a row to yourself.

Travel can be so stressful and flights are certainly no fun fair with security lines, all that waiting around and the thought of spending hours in a cramped seat with total strangers sitting just a bit too close.

But what if some magic meant you had a spare seat on the plane or even better two!

This meme perfectly sums up the mix of happiness and relief of a full row to yourself on an aeroplane.  

After all the stress of the airport, that extra leg space or perhaps nap space will definitely result in the happy seal face!

Kirstin, The Tinberry Travels , Instagram

The Ridiculous Overweight Baggage Charade

I find this travel meme hilarious in the way it states the obvious.

Having to unpack and repack my stuff into a different bag that goes on the same plane just doesn’t add up, does it?

I love it when some airlines aren’t really that strict about checking the weight of your carry-on, but the ones that insist on doing so and then making people unpack and repack – it’s a hassle that travellers could do without.

I like how this meme puts across this issue that most travellers face at some point.

Namita, Radically Ever After , Instagram

Weird Thoughts From 36,000 Ft

If you have been on a plane before, you know that it can be a frustrating and exhausting experience.

You don’t really realize how much time you spend aimlessly scrolling through newsfeeds and texting your friends.

If this meme doesn’t speak to you on a spiritual level, I don’t know what does!

I always find myself counting the seats on a plane or tapping incessantly when the boredom hits while on a long haul flight.

This meme reminds me that I am not the only flier who thinks about some, well, interesting things while they fly.

Weird things happen when you’re stuck in a metal tube with a million other people.

Bailey, The Gay Globetrotter – Facebook

Adulting the Sh*t Outta Life

I have a little bit of a reputation for being a hot mess.

Although I’ve made it to 30+ countries relatively unscathed, I usually do lose a passport, forget essentials like underwear or just plain miss the flight.

I connect with this meme practically on a spiritual level because, like success kid, I feel victories in the little things when it comes to travel.

That’s why I now pack two or three spare batteries instead of one!

Eileen from Pure Wander

What Happened Along the Way?

When I was a child, I was fascinated with planes. Flying and being pampered while in the air! Maybe it was as I was a kid, I was happy to get what I could .

With the increase in carriers over the years, I’ve realized how things have gone downhill!

Gone are the days where flying is only for professionals, the cheaper flying gets, the quality of services being provided falls further!

Lavinia, Continent Hop , Instagram  

Will Wake for Food

Don’t you dare wake me because you need to go to the loo. Emergencies and food only.  

Cheeky Babies Be Like..

My evil work is done for the day.

Comfort. What’s That?

It’s a good thing I actually love confined spaces.

Rolls Eyes and Thinks Bad Thoughts

Houston, we have a clapper. Send help.

Thoughtful Travel Memes

The only thing you buy that makes you richer.

Travel always had a positive effect on my life and I cherish the fact that I have been born to travel and I consider myself very fortunate to be able to travel.

‘Travel is the only thing you buy,that makes you richer’ is my favorite travel meme.

Everything in this world is temporary but the learnings,teachings that we gain from travelling stays with us.

It enriches your life as you come to know about other religions, people’s characters, their lifestyle and way of communicating.

I have gained a lot from traveling.

Somnath, Travel Crusade , Facebook

Travel Buddy Memes

When your friends bail on you and you’re left flying solo.

I chose this travel meme since this is one of the reasons I started traveling solo.

I was tired of friends cancelling and rescheduling travel plans. I realised that life is too short to be dependent on anyone else.

I would prefer doing something that I love on my own rather than waiting for people who may or may not join.

Soumya, Travel, Books and Food , Instagram

Sure, You’re Coming Travelling With Me (ROFL)

Oh this old charade again… why you lying for?

You, You’re PERFECT

I want you to travel with me everywhere all the time.

Digital Nomad Memes

Perception vs reality.

I love this meme about being a digital nomad.

Although many people think being a digital nomad is a glamorous lifestyle of lying by the beach during the day and partying at night, the reality is much different.

Most of us spend all of our time in front of our laptops working and, like the final picture shows, are often working so late that we crash out in front of it.  

James, Portugalist , Facebook

Moving Abroad Travel Memes

When i follow my heart i wake up in bali.

Bali is one place that has truly stolen my heart and I am at my happiest when I wake up in Bali.

The Balinese and their beautiful culture make me so appreciative of life. Their smiles and generosity  is something that Western society can learn a lot from.

Kate, Rolling Along with Kids – Facebook

And… When It’s All Over. Back to Work After Vacation Memes

My vacation is over tomorrow.

Can I pull a sickie?

The Worst Thing About Going on Holiday…

I always knew it was going to happen but I didn’t expect it to feel this bad.

I Don’t Want to go Back to Work!!!

Endless exclamation marks cannot emphasise this point enough.

Seventh Level of Hell

They’re one and the same really.

This One Time At Band Camp, Ahem In Europe

My trip changed me in so many ways. It was life-changing.

Everyone should live abroad at some point. You wouldn’t understand though. Nevermind. One day you will be as wise as me.

Back From Holiday. Sigh. Select All. Delete.

When you delete all your emails because you’re so raging about being back at work.

Boss Sees You Come Back From Holiday Like

Oh goody, the fun dementor is here to ruin my life.

27 Roadtrip Memes for Friends and Family Vacationing in the Car

Roadtrips are a different kind of a vacation. It's the most fun you'll have and also the most exhausting, maybe even the most nauseating… Whether you're on the road with your besties or your family, you need to roadtrip accordingly.

Anyways, one way to stave off the car crazies is with memes! Keep it cool in the car with some top notch funny roadtripping memes.

50+ Funny Travel Memes

They say laughter is good for the soul, and I try to find humor every day. Travel memes make the day go by easier, and life’s too short to be serious 24/7. Here are a few funny travel memes that I’ve created or come across over the years on social media that sparked conversation and a few laughs. There is a funny travel meme for every type of travel situation.

Travel Memes

Baecation Memes

Some of us choose to travel over dating. Some of us have hilarious stories from baecations. Here are a few memes about traveling with or with a significant other.

This one was sparked after seeing several people talk about fly outs and sponsored Dubai trips. I also was still frustrated by traveling with someone I thought I knew (not a bae) but I didn’t know at all and in the end, cost me a ton of money and a friendship. When I created the travel bae application/Travel buddy, now available in digital format , I always knew I wanted my future partner to love travel so here’s an easy way to vet them. I reposted this at a later date and asked the WHTW Squad what questions they would add. In general, most people agreed they want someone to travel with and needed this “application” to hand out to prospects.

Read: You shouldn’t travel with everyone

It depends on the destination and who had the idea for the trip. If it’s a destination I picked, I’m partner 1. If I’m just along for the fun I’m partner 2.

Funny travel memes about group travel vs solo travel

Unless it’s a baecation or my close friend. I prefer solo trips. I don’t even listen to people when they make comments about wanting to join me. Usually, when it’s time to go, they are nowhere to be found. Some will even go through the act of inquiring about pricing just to flake.

Does anyone else have people ask about joining your trip and then ghost you? The minute you post about the trip they are shocked you went without them? Ahem, just a friendly reminder. You will be left behind. I’m not afraid of solo trips.

If I had a dollar for every time someone said they were interested in the trip and then dragged their feet but pretend to be mad when they see me posting from a trip we discussed, I’d be rich! We’re all adults and I’m not chasing anyone around to travel with me (chase a check).  I’m not afraid of solo travel. Check out “7 Reasons To Travel Solo!”

Funny travel memes about airports and time on the plane

The heated debate about should you recline your seat on an airplane? Check out this video on should you recline your seat on an airplane?

Restaurants aren’t the only place for an awkward response. I know I’m not the only one?

Funny travel memes about missing travel

Funny vacation memes about using your time off to travel

Funny travel memes about travel deals and travel hacks

In 2016, Arthur returned to our screens, not for the reason you think. Someone started “meme-ing” faces and gestures from the childhood show. It was only appropriate that I adapt Arthur’s fist to travel. The caption was not far fetched as I constantly receive invites to travel but during this time I was ready to save money and take a small break. A lot of people can identify with the struggle of wanting to buy every flight deal vs being responsible.

Ok this one may not be funny but I want to mention the misconception about travel is that you have to make a lot of money to be able to travel. I receive far more questions about where I work versus how I travel. Read this article to to find out how I was able to book over 15 flights on points last year . How I fast track to high hotel statuses . How I’ve been able to travel so much and not accumulate debt and pay off student loans. How an airline financed my trip to Dubai.   How I visited Cuba for under $300 for everything . How I use social media to pay for trips. Hint. It’s not all credit cards or having a lot of money. I use various discounts and points for every aspect of the trip. Down to even getting into airport lounges at a discount.

Here is a link to all the travel discounts I use to travel without breaking the bank.

Funny travel memes about airlines

Southwest Airlines travel memes

Funny travel memes/Starting Vacation travel memes/ Returning to Work Memes

Funny travel memes about travel bloggers

In my early travel blogging days, my friends would give me crazy looks or roll their eyes (you know who you are) when I would take extra time to capture a shot or walk off and start narrating. Before we unpack I have to capture the room and take notes. Some friends were afraid I wasn’t enjoying the moment. As time progressed they got used to it and realize they benefit from my effort to produce great content.

Check out this article on the misconceptions of travel bloggers.

I will never forget this moment. 2 years later after my trip to Iceland . I still feel cheated!  The Sponge Bob/Mr. Krabs confused “effect” on a photo describes how I felt while in Iceland. Posting this photo sparked engagement from others who missed the Northern Lights and created awareness that there are certain times in the year that you can see Northern Lights in Iceland. I made the mistake of hopping on a travel deal without knowing this.

How many times has this happened to you? Everyone loves the idea of travel, but when it comes time to commit, a lot of people end up wussing it!

7. Please, rest comfortably.

Bad etiquette on the plane is the worst. They might be tired, but you are too. How are you going to get any sleep with your knees in your chest?

Life really is too short to be cooped up in your home. Buy that ticket and take that vacation you’ve been dreaming about.

Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake Beef Goes Nuclear: What to Know

The two rappers had circled one another for more than a decade, but their attacks turned relentless and very personal in a slew of tracks released over the weekend.

By Joe Coscarelli

The long-building and increasingly testy rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake exploded into full-bore acrimony and unverifiable accusations over the weekend. Both artists rapid-fire released multiple songs littered with attacks regarding race, appropriation, sexual and physical abuse, body image, misogyny, hypocrisy, generational trauma and more.

Most relentless was Lamar, a Pulitzer Prize winner from Compton, Calif., who tends toward the isolated and considered but has now released four verbose and conceptual diss tracks — totaling more than 20 minutes of new music — targeting Drake in the last week, including three since Friday.

Each racked up millions of streams and the three that were made available commercially — “Euphoria,” “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us” — are expected to land near the top of next week’s Billboard singles chart, while seeming to, at least momentarily, shift the public perception of Drake, long a maestro of the online public arena and meme ecosystem .

In between, on Friday night, Drake released his own broadside against Lamar — plus a smattering of other recent challengers — in a teasing Instagram interlude plus a three-part track and elaborate music video titled “Family Matters,” in which he referred to his rival as a fake activist and attempted to expose friction and alleged abuse in Lamar’s romantic relationship.

But that song was followed within half an hour by Lamar’s “Meet the Grahams,” an ominous extended address to the parents and young son of Drake, born Aubrey Graham, in which Lamar refers to his rival rapper as a liar and “pervert” who “should die” in order to make the world safer for women.

Lamar also seemed to assert that Drake had more than a decade ago fathered a secret daughter — echoing the big reveal of his son from Drake’s last headline rap beef — a claim Drake quickly denied on Instagram before hitting back in another song on Sunday. (Neither man has addressed the full array of rapped allegations directly.)

On Tuesday, a security guard was shot and seriously injured outside of Drake’s Toronto home, which appeared on the cover art for Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” Authorities said they could not yet speak to a motive in the shooting, but the investigation was ongoing. Representatives for Drake and Lamar did not immediately comment.

How did two of the most famous artists in the world decide to take the gloves off and bring real-life venom into an extended sparring match for rap supremacy? It was weeks, months and years in the making, with a sudden, breakneck escalation into hip-hop infamy. Here’s a breakdown.

Since late March, the much-anticipated head-to-head seemed inevitable. Following years of “will they or won’t they?” lyrical feints, Lamar hit directly on record first this year during a surprise appearance on the song “Like That” by the Atlanta rapper Future and the producer Metro Boomin, both formerly frequent Drake collaborators.

With audible disgust, Lamar invoked the track “First Person Shooter” from last year’s Drake album, “For All the Dogs,” in which a guest verse from J. Cole referred to himself, Drake and Lamar as “the big three” of modern MCs.

Lamar took exception to the grouping, declaring that there was no big three, “just big me.” He also called himself the Prince to Drake’s Michael Jackson — a deeper, more complex artist versus a troubled, pop-oriented hitmaker.

“Like That” spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as Future and Metro Boomin released two chart-topping albums — “We Don’t Trust You” and “We Still Don’t Trust You” — that were anchored by a parade of Drake’s past associates, each of whom seemed to share a simmering distaste toward the rapper, who later called the ambush a “20 v. 1” fight.

In early April, J. Cole fought back momentarily , releasing the song “7 Minute Drill,” in which he called Lamar overrated, before backtracking, apologizing and having the song removed from streaming services. But Drake soon picked up the baton, releasing a wide-ranging diss track called “Push Ups” less than a week later that addressed the field, with a special focus on Lamar’s height, shoe size and supposedly disadvantageous business dealings.

Less than a week later, Drake mocked Lamar’s lack of a response on “Taylor Made Freestyle,” a track released only on social media. It featured Drake taunting Lamar for being scared to release music at the same time as Taylor Swift and using A.I. voice filters to mimic Tupac and Snoop Dogg imploring Lamar to battle for the good of the West Coast.

“Since ‘Like That,’ your tone changed a little, you not as enthused,” Drake rapped in an abbreviated third verse, as himself. “How are you not in the booth? It feel like you kinda removed.” (“Taylor Made Freestyle” was later removed from the internet at the request of the Tupac Estate.)

But it was a seemingly tossed-off line from the earlier “Push Ups” that included the name of Lamar’s longtime romantic partner — “I be with some bodyguards like Whitney” — that Lamar would later allude to as a red line crossed, making all subject matter fair game in the songs to come. (It was this same alleged faux pas that may have triggered an intensification of Drake’s beef with Pusha T in 2018.)

How We Got Here

Even with Drake-dissing cameos from Future, Ye (formerly Kanye West), Rick Ross, the Weeknd and ASAP Rocky, the main event was always going to be between Drake, 37, and Lamar, 36, who have spent more than a decade subtly antagonizing one another in songs while maintaining an icy frenemy rapport in public.

In 2011, when Drake introduced Lamar to mainstream audiences with a dedicated showcase on his second album, “Take Care,” and an opening slot on the subsequent arena tour, the tone was one of side-eying competition. “He said that he was the same age as myself/and it didn’t help ’cause it made me even more rude and impatient,” Lamar rapped on “Buried Alive Interlude” of his earliest encounter with a more-famous Drake. (On his Instagram on Friday, Drake released a parody of the track, citing Lamar’s jealousy since then.)

The pair went on to appear together on “Poetic Justice,” a single from Lamar’s debut album, “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City,” in 2012, as well as “___ Problems” by ASAP Rocky the same year.

But their collaborations ceased as Drake became his generation’s premier hitmaker across styles in hip-hop and beyond, while Lamar burrowed deeper into his own psyche on knotty concept albums that brought wide critical acclaim alongside less constant commercial success.

When asked, the two rappers tended to profess admiration for one another’s skill, but seemed to trade subtle digs in verses over the years, always with plausible deniability and in the spirit of competition, leading to something of a hip-hop cold war.

The Week It Went Nuclear

Lamar’s first targeted response, “Euphoria,” was more than six minutes long and released last Tuesday morning. In three sections that raised the temperature as they built, he warned Drake about proceeding and insisted, somewhat facetiously, that things were still friendly. “Know you a master manipulator and habitual liar too,” Lamar rapped. “But don’t tell no lie about me and I won’t tell truths ’bout you.”

He accused the biracial Drake, who was born and raised in Toronto, of imitating Black American heritage and insulting him subliminally. “I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress,” Lamar said. “I hate the way that you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it’s gon’ be direct.” And he called Drake’s standing as a father into question: “Teachin’ him morals, integrity, discipline/listen, man, you don’t know nothin’ ’bout that.”

Days later, Lamar doubled down with an Instagram-only track called “6:16 in LA,” borrowing both Drake’s “Back to Back” diss tactic from his 2015 beef with Meek Mill and a song title structure lifted from what is known as Drake’s time-stamp series of raps. Opting for psychological warfare on a beat produced in part by Jack Antonoff, Swift’s chief collaborator, Lamar hinted that he had a mole in Drake’s operation and was aware of his opponent’s opposition research.

“Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person,” he rapped. “Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it.”

That night, Drake’s “Family Matters” started with its own justification for getting personal — “You mentioned my seed, now deal with his dad/I gotta go bad, I gotta go bad” — before taking on Lamar’s fatherhood and standing as a man in excruciating detail. “They hired a crisis management team to clean up the fact that you beat on your queen,” Drake rapped. “The picture you painted ain’t what it seem/you’re dead.”

Yet in a chess move that seemed to anticipate Drake’s familial line of attack, Lamar’s “Meet the Grahams” was released almost immediately. “This supposed to be a good exhibition within the game,” Lamar said, noting that Drake had erred “the moment you called out my family’s name.” Instead of a rap battle, Lamar concluded after another six minutes of psychological dissection, “this a long life battle with yourself.”

He wasn’t done yet. Dispensing with subtlety, Lamar followed up again less than 24 hours later with “Not Like Us,” a bouncy club record in a Los Angeles style that delighted in more traditional rap beef territory, like juvenile insults, proudly unsubstantiated claims of sexual preferences and threats of violence.

Lamar, however, didn’t leave it at that, throwing one more shot at Drake’s authenticity as a rapper, calling him a greedy and artificial user as a collaborator — “not a colleague,” but a “colonizer.”

On Sunday evening, Drake responded yet again. On “The Heart Part 6,” a title taken from Lamar’s career-spanning series, Drake denied the accusation that he preyed on young women, indicated that he had planted the bad information about his fake daughter and seemed to sigh away the fight as “some good exercise.”

“It’s good to get out, get the pen working,” Drake said in an exhausted outro. “You would be a worthy competitor if I was really a predator.” He added, “You know, at least your fans are getting some raps out of you. I’m happy I could motivate you.”
