In a moment of boldness, I decided to backpack across Europe last summer. I'd like to share my experience with y'all, so here goes.
First off, my flight was delayed by 5 hours. A little frustrating, but hey, these things happen. I got into London at 2 AM, and guess what, I couldn’t find my hostel. It seemed to have vanished into thin air. After a sketchy night spent in Leicester Square, I ended up booking a pricey hotel room just to get some rest.
Day 2 didn’t fare much better. The 'authentic' fish & chips I was so eager to try left me with a bad case of food poisoning. Spent the entire day in bed.
Fast forward to France. I was pickpocketed near The Louvre and ended up losing half my euros. Had to call and cancel my credit cards and document the loss to police. At this point, all I wanted to do was go home.
In Italy, I swear the universe was against me. Right when I was beginning to enjoy the sights, I fell into the canal in Venice while trying to take a selfie. Drenched in canal water, holding a now-broken phone, I limped back to my hostel feeling miserable and vowing to never leave home again, ever.
I came home a week early, having had my fill of calamities for one trip. So, that was my nightmare vacation. Here's hoping all of you have better travels than me!
Laughs nervously Wow mate, and I thought my trip to Morocco was a nightmare when my sunscreen exploded in my backpack. Your journey across Europe is on a whole other level. But hey, on the bright side, can't get any worse next time, right?!
