There’s a small tenderness in saying goodbye to someone about to travel. Whether it’s a short road trip or a long-haul flight, we want to say more than just “bye”—we want to wrap our words around them like a small shield. “Travel safe” is the classic send-off, but sometimes, it feels too ordinary. So how…
Travel has its highs—sunsets, serendipity, new food—and its lows (missed flights, questionable bathrooms, and yet another hostel roommate who snores like a lawnmower). Sometimes, the only way to get through the chaos is to laugh. Here’s a long list of travel jokes, puns, and one-liners I’ve collected over the years. Some are groan-worthy, some are…
Some travel questions seem minor until you’re standing in front of a mirror at an unfamiliar airport, hair greasy from a red-eye flight, wondering why you didn’t just pack that tiny bottle of dry shampoo.

Like most things involving travel and cannabis, the answer is murky. But if you’ve ever considered slipping a…
Travel doesn’t always come with certainty, but it often comes with meaning. Along the way, I’ve found that scripture isn’t just about stillness—it’s full of movement. These Bible verses about travel have followed me through winding roads, unexpected delays, and wide-open skies. Some comforted me, others challenged me, but all became part of the journey….
Some songs don’t just play in the background—they become part of the road. They mark time, set moods, and sometimes say what the scenery can’t. Whether I’m watching dusk settle over a desert highway or boarding a flight alone, these are the traveling songs I return to. Each one has walked with me through airports,…
I didn’t think twice when I packed a disposable camera for a recent trip through LAX. But standing in the security line, watching my bag inch closer to the scanner, I suddenly wondered—can disposable cameras go through TSA without getting ruined? Turns out, yes—but there’s a little more to the story than a simple yes…
Packing for a trip is stressful enough without arriving to find your dress shirt wrinkled and crumpled.
