Twitter has become a popular place to brag about trips, complain about travel fails and share funny stories from the road – all in 140 characters or less. From photos of signs that are lost in translation to lost luggage loathing to the ever popular people watching play-by-play, here is a compilation of our favorite funny tweets about travel.

Say what?

Social media, like Twitter, has made it easier for travelers to share what they overhear – good and bad – not only with a handful of friends, but with thousands of others with just one tweet.

 

 

Planes, trains, and automobiles

Whether you travel by plane, train or automobile, invariably you have a story to tell — of the extended layover from hell, of being packed like a sardine on a slow moving train, or that time you got lost in the middle of nowhere with no cellphone service or map. Fortunately, Twitter provides countless #travel tweets that make your terrible trip tales seem tame.

 

Oh no you didn’t

It’s been said a picture is worth a thousand words… or at least a tweet. Where words fail, there is always a photo!
