I have met very few people in my life who didn't like traveling, and even then, I believe they just hadn't had the right experience yet.

If you are having a hard time trying to persuade someone to travel with you, try easing them into the subject through travel memes. Humor always helps, and traveling is no different.

Throughout the time we were all required to stay at home, and it seemed like traveling would never come back, what kept me going, personally, was a good laugh. And now that we can roam around the world again, travel puns and holiday jokes are still very relevant to fill the time until you can get on the train or airplane again.

But speaking of flying, do you know what one place where you should never, ever tell dark airplane jokes is? At the airport! No one who works there will appreciate it, and given their job, it's pretty understandable.

For this article, we collected a bunch of jokes on traveling, travel-related funny short phrases, and even humorous riddles for you to have some fun while you're waiting for your next traveling opportunity.

And if your travels lean more toward the great outdoors, our camping jokes and nature jokes will keep you laughing on the trail, too.

Share them with your friends who have wanderlust just like you. If you have more travel jokes, our comment section is open for you.

    "The flight attendant on our trip was handing out plastic pilot wings to some kids. As I stepped forward, she jokingly offered me one, but I passed. Pointing to the Airborne wings on my Army uniform, I explained, 'The last time someone gave me wings, I had to jump out of the airplane."'

    "Traveling through the Midwest, I stopped at an Ohio welcome center to pick up a state map. I found plenty of brochures but no maps.
    Then I spotted two employees and asked whether they had any. 'Sure,' said the first guy. 'I’ll get you one.'
    As he walked to the back, the second guy explained, 'We keep them in the storage room. If we leave them out on the counter, people just come in and take them.'"

We all found the new gate, only to discover a third gate had been designated for our plane. Finally, everyone got on board the right plane, and the flight attendant announced: "We apologize for the gate change. This flight is going to Washington, D.C. If your destination is not Washington, D.C., you should deplane at this time." A moment later a red-faced pilot emerged from the cockpit, carrying his bags. "Sorry," he said, "wrong plane."'
