Travel is known as one of life's greatest treasures. Once you hit the open road or get your passport stamped, you'll never want to look back. Travel has the ability to transform your perspective. It shows you parts of the world you once dreamed of visiting, and introduces you to amazing people who will rock your world. Simply put, travel expands your little corner of the world into something much bigger. Many of us give into our wanderlust at one point or another, whether we're visiting a tropical paradise or hopping on a bus to visit our besties in another state. When you venture on your next getaway, you'll certainly snap a ton of pictures to document it all, which is why you'll need some witty Instagram captions for travel.

Seriously though, how many times have you taken an amazing picture for the 'Gram, then didn't end up posting it because you couldn't think of a solid caption? It's the worst, right?

Don't worry, because these 37 witty captions are the perfect match for any travel photo.
