Are you taking a trip anytime soon? If so, where will you be traveling? Or is it travelling? How exactly do you spell this word?
The two words traveling and travelling can cause some confusion for those writers not exactly sure when to use which one. Are they just variations of the same word? Do they have different meanings? Do they function differently in a sentence?
In today’s post, I want to all of these questions so you will never again wonder or second-guess yourself, “Is it travelling or traveling?”

The Difference Between Travelling and Traveling
Travelling and traveling are both verbs, obviously. To travel is to go from one place to another, as on a trip or journey. For example,
- It was already too late; he knew they wouldn’t be travelling far. –The New Yorker
- When the traveling pub is taken off a trailer and put together in a lot near Milwaukee and California avenues, it will boast 400 feet of bar space. –Chicago Sun Times
- They travelled 5,000 miles from Myanmar to place a plaque in Seagrim’s native village of Whissonsett in eastern England. –Washington Post
- Under that analysis, completion of the mobility plan would result in about 35 million miles per day being traveled on surface streets in 2035. – Times
You’re probably still thinking, “Okay, I still don’t know how to use these words.”
The difference between traveling vs. travelling isn’t much of a difference at all, really.
In fact, the difference between them is entirely dialectal. There is no demonstrable difference of sense or function, meaning both words can be used interchangeably.
