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

    Yup sounds about right. Having an american best friend is very eye-opening for both of us! They drive outside their state about once a year, out familytravels often means car and going through 7ish countries to get to our destination

    I just think it's a ploy to sell more duty free goods. I had to remove stuff in my carryon before they allowed me to check in but then I bought like 6 bottles of liquor from duty free weighing more than my carryon and was allowed to board!

    I started losing my trust in airport security when my cuticle scissors were confiscated. Geez - those blades were just a few millimeters long! I couldn't have held a squirrel hostage with those things!

    Actually last summer I was going through Austria and they let me take my razor. I thought I'd have to get rid of it but I asked just in case and they said it was allowed (in my carry-on)

    This is actually not exactly correct, you can have a razor blade with you, no need to give it away. You also cannot buy most of the stuff which are not accepted after the security check (except swiss army knives in Switzerland, which is very funny exception).

    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...

    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.
