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...

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.

Is there a country where they don't sing birthday songs to you? I would like to immigrate there.

We sing: Happy birthday to you, in de wei staat een koe, en die koe zegt "I love you" Happy birthday to you! (There's a cow in the meadow en that cows says I love you" In the Flemmisch part of Belgium. Yes, we are a bit weird, but I think the Dutch invented it! :-P

I hate that germans do that all the time. I usually sing some classic germans birthday songs instead.

France is wrong, they might say this in Québec, but in European French "Joyeux anniversaire"

German and English are both Germanic languages. So you could say English is broken German

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.
