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...

Don't forget....a meal is eaten in HOURS, not minutes!

It usually goes like this: appetizer (it could be one dish or a few.. I once had 14), first, first second (not always), second, side dishes, second second (again, not always), fruit, dessert, coffee and digestive.

Yes! My husband, unused to Italians, ate a lot of the lasagna on Thanksgiving. Then the host said "Let's bring out the first turkey."

This was holiday meals with my Italian ex-in-laws! So much food that something would always be left behind in the oven, to be discovered when we started cleaning up. "Hey, look! We forgot the stuffed mushrooms!"

We stayed at an agriturismo in Italy a few years ago, and our bellies almost exploded. 14 courses...they just kept bringing food out! It was all delicious, but it soon became painful.

I keep forgetting living in Italy, and always stuff myself in the first couple of courses!

Why do the commenters all have the need to validate the point?

When I met my husband 45 years, he said I was pretty, but too skinny. I knew he was the one for me!

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

I think it's very respectful to greet people in their native language when you travel abroad

Translation: There's a nice cottage in the small valley just past the farm by the edge of the lake.

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.
