Huskies travel meme

If you’re a frequent traveler I’m guessing you’re also a fan of funny travel memes.

As frequent travelers, we often find ourselves in amusing and precarious situations. Many of which can be perfectly summed up in a great travel meme. 

So just for fun, I’ve put together this list of the 25 Best Travel Memes on the Internet. You’ll find inspirational travel memes, airline travel memes, social media travel memes, and many more.

Best Travel Memes 2022

Journey Quotes

All travel memes and journey quotes for this article have been sourced from the internet. The original source for each image is identified where possible.

1. No children travel meme

I want to travel meme

This is my personal favorite travel meme. It describes my life perfectly.

I don’t have kids so I don’t have to worry about family responsibilities when planning to travel. I’ll go wherever the cheap flights will take me and try to never miss out on a good flight deal.

2. Hotel travel meme

Travel meme

This is one of the most hilarious travel memes I’ve found.

I don’t tend to mess with housekeeping much, but I have to admit this is really funny.

I’ve actually worked in housekeeping before, many, many years ago. I’ve seen some things. But definitely nothing like this.

3. Airplane travel meme

Best travel memes

Agreed! There’s something relaxing about flying and looking down on the world below. 

Funny travel quotes like this also perfectly sum up how I feel about flying. I love being away from everything, not knowing anybody, and just having this time to myself.

I’ll listen to a good book or podcast and just enjoy the quiet. You can’t go anywhere until the plane lands, so you might as well make the most of it.

Does anybody else find flying therapeutic?

4. Group travel plans meme

Vacation countdown meme

I think this travel meme sums up everybody’s experience when planning a trip with friends.

At least until we learn to stop asking people to join us beforehand. Now I just tell people my plans after I’ve booked my trip.

If they want to join, great! if not, they can stay home. 

I also love how the pics in this travel meme include dogs! Dogs are the perfect recipe for a funny vacation meme.

5. Packing travel meme

Travel meme - email address

This is one of my favorite funny travel memes going around on social media. I think it’s one we can all relate to.

Personally, I buy lots of clothes I never end up wearing, mostly because I’m a terrible shopper.

Yes somehow these clothes always end up in my suitcase. It’s amazing how that works sometimes.  

6. Airline baggage policy travel meme

Travel memes instagram

How perfect is this funny travel meme?

Airline baggage policies often both amuse and infuriate me, mostly because many are a bit ridiculous and don’t make much sense.

I do understand the airlines need to make up for the cost of low ticket prices somehow, but I feel they could do a better job explaining their convuluted baggage policies.

Not all airlines are bad at this, but some certainly are.

I think many also miss that the weight limits are not because the plane will be too heavy, but because the airline is limiting the weight of the bags for baggage handlers.

You wouldn’t want to be lifing 100 pound suitcases all day either. Keeping them closer to 50 pounds is safer for the staff moving your bags on and off the airplane.

7. Water at the airport travel meme

Best travel meme

This has happened to me too many times. I’ve since learned to bring a refillable bottle in my carry on.

I can’t imagine how much money this has saved me in just the past year. Now if I could just remember to buy chewing gum before I get to the airport. 

To be totally honest though, while I may not be spending money on bottled water at the airport, I sure don’t seem to have a problem spending money on wine at the airport. Who’s with me?

8. Carry on bags travel meme

Image of kermit the frog drinking a cup of tea

I’ve seen this a million times as well.

Fortunately, I usually manage to squeeze my bag in somewhere in the overhead bin. 

It always makes me wonder how some people have so many items when the airlines’s baggage policy states each passenger gets one carry on.

I’m starting to think people just hide their bags when they go to the counter for check in.

9. Airplane boarding meme

The Office travel meme

Some people take FOREVER in the aisle. I don’t even understand how whatever they’re doing could possibly take that long.

Do they not see the line behind them?

Seriously though, can someone explain this to me?

10. Reclining airplane seat meme

Best travel memes

I’ve never been one to recline my seat on an airplane because it doesn’t make the flight any more comfortable.

I also don’t want to squish the person behind me.

Like everybody else, I hate it when the person in front of me reclines their seat. For some reason, this always happens when I’m watching a movie or eating.

Why someone would recline their seat during meal service is beyone me, but it happens. If you paid for your seat on the plane, you can recline it if you wish. It’s really not that big of a deal. I’m usually just happy to be on a plane in the first place.

11. Southwest Airlines meme

Best travel memes

I love how seriously some folks take the boarding situation on Southwest Airlines.

I never really put much thought into it other than to ensure I check in right away to get a good boarding position.

I’ve definitely overheard some squabbles between passengers before though. This usually seems to happen when someone tries saving a seat for someone else who hasn’t been able to board yet.

I don’t really get why people insist on doing this. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t get to sit by your friend or partner during a flight.

And if it is such a big deal, why didn’t you just pay the $20 for the first boarding group? Makes no sense to me.

As for me, I head to the back of the plane to grab a window seat and silently hope no one sits next to me.

12. Reward points travel meme

Image of character from The Office sitting at his desk. Funny Travel memes

Gotta love The Office…and travel reward points. 

I don’t know about you, but I always make my purchases using a credit card that gets me points for travel.

I personally use the Chase Sapphire and a few Marriott rewards credit cards. I use the Sapphire for airfare and the Marriott cards for my hotels. It works out perfectly.

If you don’t already have a good travel rewards credit card or business travel rewards card, I strongly encourage you to get one. Use it for all your daily purchases, you’d be surprised how quicly those points add up.

Just be sure to pay it off in full each month. The reward points are no longer worth it if you’re paying hundreds of dollars in interest fees to carry a balance.

But if you can handle the card responsibly, say hello to free flights and hotels.

13. Airplane boarding travel meme

Image of John Goodman holding up a small gun

Any meme with John Goodman makes my list. 

Plus vacation memes about people blocking the airplane aisle are so accurate. I don’t understand this aspect of traveling by plane.

When I’m boarding a plane I usually feel awkward if people are waiting behind me to pass. So much so that I’ll do whatever I can to limit my time in the aisle.

If I’m taking longer that a few seconds, I’ll usually just step out of the aisle to let other pass if there’s room to do so. Not sure why everybody doesn’t do this.

Also, what’s up with people waiting until they board the plane to start digging things out of their carry on roller bag? Why? Just why?

14. The summer tourist vacation meme

Image of Jack Sparrow running from a gang of pirates

My own reaction is similar. I live in Los Angeles and know that certain areas of the city are just off limits come summer.

I’m talking about you Santa Monica and Hollywood Blvd. 

Even when I make my travel plans I consider the possible crowds for the destination I want to visit. I usually avoid Europe entirely in the summer. Not only are there too many tourists, but the prices are way too high.

I’d much rather travel in the spring and fall when everybody else is back at work. You wouldn’t believe all the deals you can get by opting for off season travel destinations .

15. The Alpaca Road Trip Meme s

Image of a white alpaca

Every list of funny travel memes needs an alpaca road trip meme. Plus, this one shows the true spirit of a road trip.

Road trips are best when they’re spontaneous, with the right people who are down for anything.

16. Waiting for my friends to travel meme

Image of skeleton on a couch

People often ask me when we’re going to travel together?

I used to entertain these comments with destination ideas and time frames. Now I just respond by suggesting they let me know when they’re ready to book the trip.

This is usually the end of the conversation. I think many people just like to talk about traveling, but don’t really have any intention of doing it. 

17. Always posting on social media travel meme

Funny Travel Memes 2019

We all have that friend who has to post every single photo they take on Facebook. You know the one.

18. Parents traveling without you meme

Starting Vacation Meme

Many of us can relate to this in one way or another, whether it be travel or something else. It always seems your parents start doing cool things after you’ve grown up and moved out.

19. Covid Travel Meme

Travel Memes Covid

So many of us had travel plans this year that were cancelled. I know some of us handled it better than others. Here’s to hoping we’re out of this soon.

20. I wish I was quarantined in Paris travel meme

Travel Memes 2020

This was absolutely me for the majority of the pandemic. I live in a suburb of Los Angeles and would have given anything to be stuck somewhere more interesting.

21. Airlines travel meme

Funny Vacation Memes - Travel memes images

I’ve only done this once, and never again. Unless I find a spectacular deal, I much prefer to pay a little extra for more comfort and convenience these days.

22. Cruise Travel Memes

Travel Memes Coronavirus

I don’t think anyone had it worse during Covid than the cruise industry. I have no idea how they plan to operate again, but I’m sure things will be interesting when they do.

23. When your mom is always worried travel meme

Best Travel Memes

I absolutely relate to this one. No matter where on the planet I go, my mom is always worried about the safety of the destination.

Honestly, most of the destinations I visit are safer than where I live.

24. Airline seating travel memes

Airline memes

In all honesty, it never ceases to amaze me how little room some airlines leave for passengers between the rows. I’m lucky I’m on the small side.

25. Airport Travel Meme

Travel Memes

I admit it, I’m definitely guilty of this one. I’m excited to be at the airport and traveling, but also bored at the same time. It’s a difficult situation.

26. Bank account travel meme

bank account travel meme

When your travel dreams are bigger than your bank account. I feel like this is true for most of us, and it’s definitely true for me.

I really hope you enjoyed this list of the 26 Best Travel Memes on the Internet? If you would like to support this blog please consider sharing this post. Thanks for reading.

You're grounded: The travel memes making us laugh and giving us life during the quarantine

Liz Hund

As another week of quarantine goes by, it's safe to say that we could all use some humor right about now.

While the coronavirus situation is far from funny, travelers have been making light of the situation with some creative executions on various social media platforms to cope with their wanderlust.

Here's a round-up of some of our favorite travel memes we've seen on social so far:

This TikToker re-created one of our favorite things: Flying . And honestly, he had us fooled for a hot second. Needless to say, we can't wait to get back to the skies .

https://www.tiktok.com/@jeroengortworst/video/6811849424587721989

Quarantine is basically like flying Emirates first-class , right? Set the mood with some casual lobster mac and cheese for a snack, a glass of Veuve to top it off and your movie of choice .

This is our new favorite safety video. All jokes aside, this guy's got some pretty sweet aviation swag in his place.

There's a good chance you've seen or been that traveler who's been reminiscing on old trips and dreaming of new ones all over social. What can we say? We're not used to being grounded for so long.

It's no surprise that here at TPG, we've got staffers all over the world. But even though we may be hundreds of miles apart, we're still staying connected. Show us how you are by using the #TPGpaperplanechallenge hashtag on TikTok.

Boarding passes look a bit different these days, but we're sticking to our favorite lingo: airport talk.

We're even missing the little things that we used to complain about. Waiting for checked luggage ? Yes please.

https://www.tiktok.com/@ownyourfancy/video/6815687661525667077?u_code=d7g9ac9d9el5el&language=en&timestamp=1587222894&user_id=6721511854814200837&utm_campaign=client_share&app=musically&utm_medium=ios&user_id=6721511854814200837&tt_from=copy&utm_source=copy&source=h5_m

And of course, we're keeping up with our training to ensure that no flights will be missed once travel resumes:

La Rotonda de Sofa is where you can catch us this weekend:

And to sum how we're all feeling right now, we'll let this little girl do the talking.

Bottom line

Travel may look a bit different right now — and we certainly appreciate some good humor to lighten things up — but on a serious note, here's some things you may want to consider if you're booking future travel. Looking ahead, we're betting things there's going to be some changes in the travel industry.

To stay up to date on what those may be, sign-up for TPG's daily newsletter and be sure to follow us on social @thepointsguy.

In the meantime, stay safe and try to make the most of it. For more wanderlust cures, check out our favorite travel movies , books , podcasts or take a virtual visit to a world-famous museum.

Funny Travel Memes That Obsessive Travellers Can Relate To

When people hassle you for travelling too much (as if that’s a thing).

55 hilarious travel memes to inspire wanderlust and adventure #travel #funnymemes #memes

My lovely family often blames me for travelling too much.

They always keep telling me why do I need to travel so much.

And when will I do all the normal things that ‘normal’ girls of my age do (Earlier it was marriage, now that I am already married, it has come down to having kids!).

Now both mine and my husband’s side of the family thinks I am obsessed with travelling. And whenever they tell me this, I roll my eyes and reply that I could have been a serial killer or drug addict.

And the irony is that I had started travelling as a kid with my parents and extended family of uncles and aunts!

When You Love to Travel but your Bank Account is Cryin’ For Help

55 hilarious travel memes to inspire wanderlust and adventure #travel #funnymemes #memes

I picked this meme because not only is always appropriate to include High School Musical references, but also because it rings true as an ever-present struggle for many keen travellers.

Jetting off to new and exciting places can be expensive at the best of times, so when you’re constantly prowling Skyscanner for the next best deal your bank account is the first to suffer!

The play-off between the need to see the world and the need to sustain a living is a tough one, but as anyone who loves travel will tell you, you make it work somehow!

Babies or Travel? Travel.

55 hilarious travel memes to inspire wanderlust and adventure #travel #funnymemes #memes

What do we say to having babies? Not today!

This meme describes me in so many ways! I caught myself staring at my world map with the same interest my girl friends look at baby photos.

Okay, I’m closer to the 30s than to the 20s, but still…look at this map again.

There are so many places out there to explore! So, nope, not today.

Funny Vacation Memes

When you’ve planned everything and your partner throws a curveball.

55 funny travel memes that are so true it hurts. The adventure and hilarious side of vacations, then the sadness of going back to work... #funnymemes #travel #memes

I love planning trips.  I find it fun, rewarding, and relaxing.  

I have all the hallmarks of a Type-A personality, however my husband loves chaos and ruining our travel plans.  

I still love planning, but he definitely loves to laugh a bit too evilly whenever he puts a kink into my perfectly planned road trips.

Throw A Pin on the Map? Maybe Not….

55 funny travel memes that are so true it hurts. The adventure and hilarious side of vacations, then the sadness of going back to work... #funnymemes #travel #memes

I found this meme on Pinterest years ago and have kept it in my “Humor” board ever since.

While I love the idea of just winging it and throwing a dart anywhere at a map, it’s also ironic because 70% of our world is covered by water.

So this meme just puts it into perspective how much we take the ocean and travel for granted. It also makes me laugh every time I see it and show it to people!

When It Turns Out to Be More of a Challenge than you Expected

55 funny travel memes that are so true it hurts. The adventure and hilarious side of vacations, then the sadness of going back to work... #funnymemes #travel #memes

This cycling meme particularly appeals to me, because I do a lot of my travel by bicycle.

I can’t mention how many times someone said the next section of road would be flat, and I ended up faced with this!

I think the beauty of this travel meme though, is that it is symbolic of any type of travel or even your journey through life.

Long Haul Flight Memes + Airport Travel Memes

The joy of getting a row to yourself.

55 travel memes for your next vacations. Work, adventure, lol, repeat. That's life. Don't miss them #wanderlust #travel #traveling #memes

Travel can be so stressful and flights are certainly no fun fair with security lines, all that waiting around and the thought of spending hours in a cramped seat with total strangers sitting just a bit too close.

But what if some magic meant you had a spare seat on the plane or even better two!

This meme perfectly sums up the mix of happiness and relief of a full row to yourself on an aeroplane.  

After all the stress of the airport, that extra leg space or perhaps nap space will definitely result in the happy seal face!

The Ridiculous Overweight Baggage Charade

55 travel memes for your next vacations. Work, adventure, lol, repeat. That's life. Don't miss them #wanderlust #travel #traveling #memes

I find this travel meme hilarious in the way it states the obvious.

Having to unpack and repack my stuff into a different bag that goes on the same plane just doesn’t add up, does it?

I love it when some airlines aren’t really that strict about checking the weight of your carry-on, but the ones that insist on doing so and then making people unpack and repack – it’s a hassle that travellers could do without.

I like how this meme puts across this issue that most travellers face at some point.

Weird Thoughts From 36,000 Ft

55 travel memes for your next vacations. Work, adventure, lol, repeat. That's life. Don't miss them #wanderlust #travel #traveling #memes

If you have been on a plane before, you know that it can be a frustrating and exhausting experience.

You don’t really realize how much time you spend aimlessly scrolling through newsfeeds and texting your friends.

If this meme doesn’t speak to you on a spiritual level, I don’t know what does!

I always find myself counting the seats on a plane or tapping incessantly when the boredom hits while on a long haul flight.

This meme reminds me that I am not the only flier who thinks about some, well, interesting things while they fly.

Weird things happen when you’re stuck in a metal tube with a million other people.

Adulting the Sh*t Outta Life

55 travel memes for your next vacations. Work, adventure, lol, repeat. That's life. Don't miss them #wanderlust #travel #traveling #memes

I have a little bit of a reputation for being a hot mess.

Although I’ve made it to 30+ countries relatively unscathed, I usually do lose a passport, forget essentials like underwear or just plain miss the flight.

I connect with this meme practically on a spiritual level because, like success kid, I feel victories in the little things when it comes to travel.

That’s why I now pack two or three spare batteries instead of one!

What Happened Along the Way?

55 funny travel memes that are so true it hurts. The adventure and hilarious side of vacations, then the sadness of going back to work... #funnymemes #travel #memes

When I was a child, I was fascinated with planes. Flying and being pampered while in the air! Maybe it was as I was a kid, I was happy to get what I could .

With the increase in carriers over the years, I’ve realized how things have gone downhill!

Gone are the days where flying is only for professionals, the cheaper flying gets, the quality of services being provided falls further!

Thoughtful Travel Memes

The only thing you buy that makes you richer.

55 travel memes for your next vacations. Work, adventure, lol, repeat. That's life. Don't miss them #wanderlust #travel #traveling #memes

Travel always had a positive effect on my life and I cherish the fact that I have been born to travel and I consider myself very fortunate to be able to travel.

‘Travel is the only thing you buy,that makes you richer’ is my favorite travel meme.

Everything in this world is temporary but the learnings,teachings that we gain from travelling stays with us.

It enriches your life as you come to know about other religions, people’s characters, their lifestyle and way of communicating.

I have gained a lot from traveling.

Travel Buddy Memes

When your friends bail on you and you’re left flying solo.

55 travel memes for your next vacations. Work, adventure, lol, repeat. That's life. Don't miss them #wanderlust #travel #traveling #memes

I chose this travel meme since this is one of the reasons I started traveling solo.

I was tired of friends cancelling and rescheduling travel plans. I realised that life is too short to be dependent on anyone else.

I would prefer doing something that I love on my own rather than waiting for people who may or may not join.

Digital Nomad Memes

Perception vs reality.

55 funny travel memes that are so true it hurts. The adventure and hilarious side of vacations, then the sadness of going back to work... #funnymemes #travel #memes

I love this meme about being a digital nomad.

Although many people think being a digital nomad is a glamorous lifestyle of lying by the beach during the day and partying at night, the reality is much different.

Most of us spend all of our time in front of our laptops working and, like the final picture shows, are often working so late that we crash out in front of it.

Bali is one place that has truly stolen my heart and I am at my happiest when I wake up in Bali.

The Balinese and their beautiful culture make me so appreciative of life. Their smiles and generosity  is something that Western society can learn a lot from.

1. Don’t pack all that! ”Oh, but I am gonna wear all my 50 dresses in just 3 days!”

I can relate to this travel packing meme. For my very first international trip to Egypt , I had a week in the country but I packed stuff that a backpacker could use for over 3 months! Yeah, talk about overpacking!!

But now that I am a backpacker who no longer packs a bunch of stuff, I advise people on how to pack light ! If you still pack like this girl, worry not, do it step by step and you’ll get better at packing light!

europe trip memes

This is one of the best feelings! If you get lucky you can have some extra space to stretch your legs or even lay down and have a comfy sleep, a vacation meme we all hope for, on every single flight. 

Vacation memes in the times of COVID 

europe trip memes

Especially during COVID times, people who cough or sneeze in a plane might get a few stares. We can’t even begin to imagine what it must feel like with those with allergies.

Funny vacation meme for the single travelers out there

europe trip memes

The look on all the passengers’ faces (especially the single and solo ones) when crying children start boarding the plane is textbook hilarious. And then the game of chairs begins until they sit down and the unlucky one meets their fate. Our flying tip : bring some earplugs just in case! 

When someone hot passes by

europe trip memes

A funny travel meme that illustrates the feeling we all have when the prospect of a good looking seatmate strolls down the aisle. Seats are for one and we know how tight they are these days, but we could make some exceptions. 

When the plane lands and people clap

europe trip memes

There’s always that person that gets excited when the plane lands safely. Or perhaps they are excited to have arrived. We are not sure, but we know that half of the plane will be celebrating while the other half will be wondering why.

Walking down the aisle

europe trip memes

A funny vacation meme for all those single travelers who prefer a different kind of aisle, one that comes with narrow seats and windows on each side. 

Missing the snack cart 

europe trip memes

This is a travel meme for all those who fall asleep in planes as soon as the doors close and then miss their free snack or meal. 

Airlines being illogical

europe trip memes

All those times when airline rules appear illogical, but we know there is some other reason we are not understanding that explains all the nonsense.

The low-cost airline challenge

europe trip memes

We all love to hate low-cost airlines, but then they come up with an irresistible offer we cannot refuse and we find ourselves at the back of a plane squashed and pushed just to save some money. Bargain hunters out there will appreciate this funny meme.

Wanting to be responsible with money

europe trip memes

We can’t help it, cheap flight deals are too irresistible and all our resolutions go out the window when we receive those magical words: “flight deals”.

Memes related to packing

Packing is one of the most annoying, necessary and enjoyable parts of travel. Here are some travel memes related to the process of packing for a trip .

Packing for a vacation

europe trip memes

This packing for vacation meme says it all. We may be attired in the same comfy clothes all week, working from home with pajama pant and a work shirt, but when in Greece , we will put on that fabulous flying dress for a stylish photoshoot, top-model style

Reason for the baggage overweight

europe trip memes

Nobody wants to wear the same outfit at the beach, for afternoon tea at a luxury hotel and for sunset drinks at the hippest bar in town. This is a funny vacation meme the girls will understand. 

Unpacking your suitcase

europe trip memes

There are two types of people in this world: the ones that unpack their suitcase and use the dresser, and the ones that leave everything in their suitcases and make a bit of a mess. Which one are you?

Funny vacation memes related to work & travel

Work and travel may sound like a conundrum, can you relate to these funny travel memes?. 

Waking up to work vs waking up to travel

europe trip memes

It’s NOT the same! We struggle with waking up to work but what about waking up to catch that middle of the night flight? Anytime (especially if we saved money by doing that).

Leaving work for a vacation

europe trip memes

Is that you in the meme, rushing out of the office a little earlier that day before vacation? 

Not available for work

europe trip memes

If you need anything at all… don’t let me know! Nothing compares to using the excuse of being on vacation to ignore your coworkers and boss. It’s your holiday and you deserve some uninterrupted “me” time.

A funny vacation meme for digital nomads

europe trip memes

This meme is so true. We all think digital nomads are living the best life and they do sometimes, but IG vs. reality never felt more real than when trying to work at the beach.

When you get a work email on vacation

europe trip memes

There’s never time to answer a work email on vacation. 

Back to work

europe trip memes

A vacation meme we all experience when returning from a vacation, every single time. Vacations do get us out of the work habit.

Not made for a 9-5 job

europe trip memes

You were made for great things.

What solo female travelers get told

europe trip memes

A meme about solo vacations that always makes us laugh. Our massive community knows that we don’t need no man to travel the world! 

Family members’ opinions 

europe trip memes

Many solo travelers have had that family member who makes negative comments about them traveling solo, especially around all the unfounded myths of solo travel .

Don’t take advice from those with no experience, it will just be a compilation of stereotypes, misconceptions and the media’s opinion, never an unbiased one. Rather, look for reliable sources like Facebook travel groups , official safety rankings , government pages and travel articles . 

When the squad cancels

europe trip memes

Don’t let others stop you from doing anything, you are your best friend. Go anyways, you might end up meeting new people and having the trip of a lifetime.

Bet you’ve heard this from your friends many times, but don’t up your expectations, or you may end up like in the previous travel meme.

The vacation cycle

europe trip memes

The booking process

europe trip memes

When you skip the planning phase and go straight ahead to buy the plane ticket. Who wants to plan a whole trip, just get the ticket and figure out the rest later. Funny vacation meme for those out there who prefer to go with the flow.

Should I move here?

europe trip memes

We relate! It’s inevitable to fantasize about moving to a city you just fell in love with, though we can assure you that it is not the same to visit a place and see it through the rose glasses of a visitor than to live there and deal with the day to day challenges. Do your research and decide what will truly make you happy. If it’s a move, find a job you can do online and just go!

Trying to speak the local language

Group travel plans be like

It's not easy to put your passport on the shelf for the time being while the world attempts to flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases with social distancing measures.

Instead of peeping at wildlife in far-flung national parks, we have neighborhood " bear hunts " for kids. Instead of trips to the museum, we have virtual reality tours and clever recreations on Instagram . And instead of spending hours lingering over meals and cocktails at our favorite neighborhood bistros, we've got vast piles of dried beans and comforting carbs purchased in a panicky fugue state at the nearest store.

Fortunately for grounded travelers, we also have lots and lots of memes to see us through this strange season. Now that everyone is home and spending even more time online, many are turning to humor to cope in between binge watching travel movies and episodes of  The Tiger King  and  Love is Blind.  And if these coronavirus travel memes are any indication, there's still plenty to chuckle about – and plenty of unconventional ways to see the world.

1. Even in a pandemic, for example, you can still host a private wildlife tour to see the Big Five on safari

2. As well as other varieties of flora and fauna now easily found in urban environments

3. All sorts of species are making a comeback

4. Some critters are taking advantage of the pandemic to experience popular destinations without the crowds

5. While others are encouraging humans to maintain their distance and respect the closure of national parks like Yellowstone

6. Some travelers feel that just because you're stuck at home, doesn't mean you can't have a working beach vacation

7. While others are trying to figure out public transportation in an unfamiliar setting

8. Weeks in, a bad case of wanderlust led to hallucinations for some grounded travelers

9. Others chose to spend this time training for those cross-terminal sprints between tight connections

10. One graphic designer decided to make posters advertising some of the hottest new destinations for travelers

11. Meanwhile, airport codes have now been updated due to the pandemic

12. Some travelers have decided to skip flying in favor of other modes of transportation

13. And outdoor enthusiasts have gotten creative about pursuing their hobbies

14. There is still an abundance of big wall climbing to enjoy, for example

15. And challenging peaks to summit

16. As well as a slew of possibilities for wine tours

17. And even if you aren't in wine country, quarantine is no reason to skip after work happy hour

18. Or weekend brunch

...as long as you stay home, that is, until the threat of spreading COVID-19 has passed.
