It may be harder to travel now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t reminisce about some of your favorite throwback travel memories by scrolling through your camera app. You may dream about the wild summer you lived on the West Coast, and the week-long adventure you had amongst Bali’s lush landscapes. After favoriting selfies and artsy candids, you may decide to finally post these hidden gems to your socials with sweet captions for when you miss traveling.

Especially now, those long-lost memories from a tropical vacation deserve better than to sit in your camera roll. A fun or wistful throwback travel captions will add a little something special to your memories, especially when you can’t jet off on a whim just yet. Not to mention, you wouldn't ever pass up the opportunity to show your loyal followers a glimpse of the weekend you toured the national parks in the cutest campervan or danced in the salty waves in southern France. That would be travesty, especially when your wanderlust is patiently waiting for the moment when you can travel again — when you can throw your carry-on bag in an overhead container, put in your headphones, and fly above the clouds.

Having the perfect caption for when you’re missing the vacation life is almost as important as the photo itself. You definitely don’t want captions that are super cheesy, overused, or don't make sense for your pics. To prevent a lost opportunity, choose from these captions for throwback travel pics and watch the likes come rolling in.
