21 People Confess Their Most Horrifying Travel Experiences

I was 16 and I was heading to England, France, and Spain for 10 days on a school trip. During these 10 days we had multiple ridiculous things happen to us. Our first hotel we checked into in England was a completely gross shithole, and after our first day of sightseeing we were taking the train home when the conductor announced that we wouldn’t be stopping at our stop due to a large fire. We all made jokes about like, “Haha shithole hotel burnt down.” Shortly we found out that our hotel actually was on fire and that many of our things had water damage.

I got dosed with Ecstasy in Greece when I was 17. It was a lot of my own fault for being a stupid kid – a new “friend” bartender gave me a pill when I said I had a headache. In hindsight that was unfathomably stupid but I did it. She said it would make my headache feel better. I had never done any drugs before aside from getting drunk once or twice. I took it and wandered off out the back and into a few other clubs throughout the night. In hindsight they were totally trying to drug me and either steal all my belongings or sell me as a gingerboy sexslave. Jokes on them, I had a blast!

Does anyone remember the blackout of the entire northeast back in 2003? I was stranded at the Wayne County Airport in Detroit when the power shut off.

I started my period during the first of 4 legs of a 29+ hour trip. Who knew that common menstrual symptoms were compounded by air travel?
