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

    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...

    Accurate...except you have the "Mcmansion gated community" and "Suburbia"...but every city also has their "Sketchy & Red Light Blvd" part of town too...the one with subsidized housing and trailer parks....poorer people live in cities too!

    Now now, we rarely put a park next to a Monstrous Highway Super Interstate (MHSI). Far too noisy. We like ginormous warehouses adjacent to the MHSI, maybe some nifty mega shopping centers ... but the downtown strip? Yup ;)

    It’s by the skyscrapers that we have no parking. It’s all metered or you have to pay to park. But there is tons of parking in the suburbs.

    To my understanding, the grid layout is so common in the US because the grid layout was a widely used by Native Americans. (Jack Weatherford)

    Excuse me. That is a Californian town. There are old buildings on the East Coast. But what really got me in London that there was some dang department store that was established in the late 1600's. My country isn't that old.

    There are only old buildings on the eastcoast of china. From a european point of view, the oldest buildings on the american eastcoast are pretty new. Everything less then 400 years. If it is older then 1000 years we can start talking about old buildings.

    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.
