Because traveling is not always as beautiful as it may seem. Because traveling also exist dangers. Because sometimes, even if it seems a lie, traveling is a huge responsibility and you have to always be alert so that everything goes well. Because sometimes, travelers also had a bad time. We leave you a selection of 10 dramas that a traveler will live at least once in a lifetime:
1- Leave your passport at home
Because the more you travel, the more you relax and the more secure you feel. And many times we take for granted many things that are not like that later. How many times have you made the backpack at the last minute thinking that you are already an expert in this? Yes, surely you are, but when it comes to travel documentation, it is better to look at it and remit it several times. There is nothing worse than arriving at the airport and realizing that in the rush, you have left your passport at home.
2- Losing the suitcase or losing it (which is much worse)
There is nothing more distressing for a traveler than the moment in which you have to wait for the suitcase on the luggage belt. Will it come out? Won't it come out? Will it be broken? Will it still have all 4 wheels? Those 15 distressing minutes that end up being dramatic when you start to see that everyone leaves with their suitcase in your hand and you are still waiting in front of the tape, in which there is no longer a small bag, absorbed, as hypnotized , hoping that by magic or a miracle, your backpack will appear and everything has been a bad dream.
3- Wrong transportation
You get on the train without asking if it's the one that goes to your destination. How are you going to make a mistake, who has been traveling for years? You take out a book, lie on the seat and even glue a little head. It only took you 2 hours to realize, if the reviewer did not notify you before, that you have taken a train that goes in the opposite direction to what you thought.
4- Do not look at the time at the destination and finish at 4000 meters in short sleeves and flip flops
But who was going to think that in the middle of August it could be cold somewhere in this world. Well that's what you will repeat once and a thousand times when you see yourself in Iceland, in the middle of August, with flip flops and in short sleeves. And it is not everywhere summer means heat and cold winter. Being a little foresight and looking at the temperatures on some website will make you not load with unnecessary clothes and not suffer a drama that a traveler I'd rather never feel.
5- Travel in high season and not control prices
We do not doubt that there are times that certain flight offers, such as many of the ones we publish on Best Flight, are caramelites that are hard to resist. Imagine: flight to New York at New Year's Eve for 299 euros round trip final price. Impossible to resist, we know that. You take out your credit card and in 3 steps (this is what an expert traveler has to do) you have your flight booked. And now is when the drama comes. You start looking for accommodation, because it is clear that you will have to sleep somewhere, right? and there is nothing below 400 euros a night. How are you reading it? And here came the drama or drama of the traveler ...
6- That the budget runs out ahead of schedule
You have saved every penny of this trip for months. You have everything under control, so much so that you have done an excel with the expenses you expect to have during the trip. You have awarded each euro to its corresponding game, but of course, you arrive at the destination, you get involved (or get messed up) and in the end you end up several nights of partying, something that you had not planned and therefore was not in your excel. You do not give much importance until suddenly, a month later, you look at your wallet and discover that where there were 200 euros left, there is only a small, abandoned and crumpled 10 euros bill.
7- The bathroom. What bathroom?
There is nothing worse, especially for a woman, we are not going to fool ourselves, that looking for a bathroom in circumstances in which you know more than enough, that finding it can be quite an odyssey. The best thing in these cases is to arm yourself with courage, stop breathing, close your eyes and forget the world for a few minutes.
** In this case we have to say that the ones in the image are about gentlemen bathrooms compared to some we have had to use. But we didn't want to hurt sensibilities by putting nasty images
8- When you lose (or almost) a flight
There is nothing more dramatic or painful than seeing a traveler running as if he were living in it through the corridors of an airport, carrying his backpack on his back. You just have to look at the face of suffering and despair to pity him and start praying to all the saints hoping that his flight has suffered a delay and thus prevent that traveler from collapsing.
9- The most important place in the city and is under construction
You've been dreaming of being in front of her for years, you've seen hundreds of images and every time you look at her, you find her more beautiful. You are looking forward to that day for which you have waited so long and to be able to sit in front of her, with tranquility and all the time in the world to soak up and satisfy you with her image. But you did not have something and it is that two months ago they are restoring it and it is covered with scaffolding.
10- The famous (and hated) Stomach problems
And finally and not least (we would say that it is the most dramatic situation), the famous stomach problems that we suffer, on many occasions, travelers. And there is nothing worse than getting sick when you are away from your bed and your mother.
