Traveling is the perfect medium for experiencing different cultures complete with all sorts of art, music, crafts, and traditions. But visiting other countries is usually not just all roses.

With cultural differences in mind, artist Malachi Ray Rempen decided to share his traveling experience and situations in the form of funny comics dubbed "Itchy Feet Comic". This weekly cartoon drawings chronicle is mostly about travel, language jokes that happen while learning, and life as an ex-pat. It's just about any bizarre situation you can imagine yourself in while traveling.

"Itchy Feet Comic deals with two very specific areas: language learning and traveling. One of the things I love about these webcomics is the minute observations on the experiences that are so universal that you cannot help but say “That is so true!” - says the artist.

So scroll the page and have a quick walk around the world with the help of these funny drawings!

    As a Finn, I can confirm this is 100% true. Finns are very particular about their personal space and you absolutely do not touch strangers if you can avoid it

    I experienced similar conditions while living in Alaska. You learn to live by the clock and not the sun. In the winter, the sun was only available between about 10AM and 2PM. In summer, it didn't get dark. Instead, you would put aluminum foil over your bedroom windows to block the light.

    It's not bad at all. 24 hours light days meant: I was less tired, I ate only twice in those 24 hours, and slept between 00:00 and 04:00 , max 5 hours: but was full of energy! Sun and light really does good for the body and mind.

    The whole territory of Iceland is below the Arctic circle, there are no Midnight sun or particularly long summer days and winter nights.

    Er, what? Have you even been there? There most certainly is midnight sun in the middle of summer, and very few daylight hours in the darkest winter.

    As a native French, I honestly admire people learning french : this langage is hard ! Therefore I would never make fun or faking not to understand just because is is not perfect. This comic shows a very parisian reaction you would probably not know somewhere else in France...

    Americans are chronically sleep deprived. We need a constant infusion of coffee.

    Similar in Hispanic countries. Tourists don’t know that you can bargain the price and get something for quite cheap—if you’re lucky that is.
