40 Dumb And Funny Mistakes People Made While Traveling Ran to the train station in Amsterdam. Got on the train to Frankfurt, put my suitcases on their spot and stepped off to have a smoke. Immediately the doors closed behind me and my possessions (minus passport, wallet and phone which were in my pocket) went to Frankfurt without me. A couple of trains and a flight later, I was in Frankfurt waiting for my suitcases but they weren’t on the train. A few long days spent calling around and finally found them in Utrecht (Netherlands conductors took them off before entering Germany). Rented a car and drove the 12 hours round trip from Frankfurt to Utrecht and back to Frankfurt and all was well when I started work on Monday morning. I don’t tell this story often

My dad worked in NewYork in the mid 80s. He was walking home from a bar when heard sirens, saw the blue lights, and screech of tyres. "Get in! Get in!" He was slightly drunk, and slowly turned to see the police car with the doors open and the cops beckoning. Being very confused he asked what he'd done wrong. "You're a white dude!" His apartment was only a couple of blocks straighht on. But they pulled him into the car, did a Uturn and went the long way around. The area was dangerous for police or white people, if the wrong person saw them they'd be killed right away, or at least that's what he told me.

I was in Toronto on a very rare weekend without my kids. I had a budget for food, and my (now ex) husband cancelled my card. And then I had my backpack stolen, so I asked my dad to wire me the money from my recently sold car (in my home country) to me in Toronto. Another travel tip: don't marry a sociopath who then will control your every move. It took years of getting others to help me squirrel away enough money to travel home with my children. I had four by the time I was 24 and he thought he'd successfully trapped me as his servant.

My wife and I went for a long weekend in London. Had a couple of drinks and decided to play a game of our own invention. Go and have a drink in the next pub you can see out of the window or the nearest pub the bar person points you to. All good until late in the evening, we went down a dimly lit side street and entered a pub that you would see in an East End gangster movie. The room went deathly silent, every set of eyes burned into us and it was like that scene in American Werewolf in London. We brazened it out and had the quickest drink of our lives, before quickly walking back to the safety of the bright lights.

When I was walking in Wythenshawe, UK. Despite the amount of litter, the yards and houses looked all decent and pretty with nice yards (or gardens, as the Brits call the entire outdoor property.) with tons of unique flowers and plants. When we got closer to the Civic Centre, about half way there, my friends told me to put my phone in my purse because there's a problem with thugs robbing people of their phones. It would have never dawned on me given that there wasn't anyone else walking around and the vibe of the area felt normal. But I did believe them because of the stories I've heard about Wythenshawe. It was a stark contrast to the ghetto, high crime neighbourhoods in my city, where there's always people walking around, especially prostitutes and drug dealers on their bikes. Just goes to show, ghettos do not look the same everywhere you go. On the contrary I do hear Wythenshawe isn't as bad as it used to be. There's a lot worse areas around Manchester. Mind you, that's what I've heard. Apparently it's not a safe area, still.

Always listen to the people who live in the area... Luckily not a mugging scenario but we quite often get tourists who wander down our street thinking it's a shortcut but it's a dead end street. I just redirect them 🙂 However at one point years ago we did have a problem with drugs and drug dealers. So the staircases and gates on both sides of our block are now permanently locked. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Just add an extra 5minutes onto your journey time 🙂

40 Dumb And Funny Mistakes People Made While Traveling Got pickpocketed hours before my flight out of the Philippines to Australia. Couldn't board my flight because I had to pay the fee for overstaying my visa. Had to spend whatever little change I had at an Internet cafe to email my brother asking for a western union transfer. And shame-eat some Jollibee spaghetti. While waiting for my bro's response (due to the completely different time zones) I didn't know what to do so I slept in a park that night. Seemed alright. Some people walking through the park later that evening were like wtf are you doing, one offered that I could sleep at his place for the night, I accepted. We arrive at his home, which was more like a collection of shacks with all the extended family there. I ask where I'm sleeping, as it looks like there's no extra space, and he says I can have his bed. Of course once I'm in bed he also climbs in bed. Turns out his wife left him because he's (can you guess?) - gay. He's trying to get me to fool around with him, wants to give me a blowjob as he's better than girls anyway. I could just close my eyes and pretend it’s a girl lol. I give him the ultimatum to stop trying or I'm leaving, which was a bluff bc I have no f*****g clue where I am, he gets all huffy and turns over to the other side of the bed and well, that was that. I didn’t really sleep, but didn’t feel any pokey pokings either. We eat cereal in the morning and his cousin who drives a tuk tuk takes me to the western union and the money is there! I rebook my flight and get out of there. The end.

Don’t get pickpocketed with all your cards and cash in one place!

40 Dumb And Funny Mistakes People Made While Traveling Using points, I booked a one way flight to get me to Nepal: AMS - FRA - DEL (Delhi) - CCU (Kolkata) - KTM. Lots of stops, but basically a free flight (points!). Great!

I had done tons of solo travel all over at this point, and never thought anything further about my flight until I arrived at AMS airport. "Do you have an India visa?". "No, I'm just transiting on my way to Nepal and I can get that on arrival." I guess they didn't think anything further of it either.

So I arrive in Frankfurt airport, get to my gate, and the Air India agent asks to see my India visa. "No, I'm just transiting on my way to Nepal." He lets me on the flight. Clearly he didn't think anything further of it.

On my flight to Delhi, I start to think more about this. I'm transiting, yes, but I'm also taking an intra-India flight to do so. I hadn't thought about this when booking or so confidently explaining my situation to the gate agents. I looked through the information in the booklet on the flight and it explained that some flights were transiting internationally (with XYZ flight numbers), but some were considered domestic (with other ABC numbers). My ongoing flight was ABC. Uh oh.

I arrive to Delhi and sure enough, someone does think further or my situation. There is a man directing people to either immigration or sterile transit (no customs needed for a transfer). He looks at my flight number on my next flight and points to customs. "So you see, that's not going to be possible...".

So instead, I ended up in a room full of people who also made visa f**k ups and were awaiting deportation. In the end, Air India eventually came through for me and got me on a direct flight to KTM. Huge props to them.

40 Dumb And Funny Mistakes People Made While Traveling Catalina island, CA. Random day of the week during their off season, late October. Thought we could just camp on the remote end of the island, Two Harbors, though the ferry we booked on a whim in the middle of the day took us to Avalon, the high-end tourist town with very little camping accommodations. No luck getting to Two Harbors from there. A taxi to the other side of the island was $200+. And there weren’t anymore ferries back to the mainland that day. We were basically stranded with too much camping gear in some strange, deserted tourist town. Managed to camp very primitively across from a football stadium. Later in the night a bunch of permanent locals (think line cooks, hired help, etc) had a big tailgate party nearby. And the local deer were VERY friendly, almost aggressive. Felt very surreal.

40 Dumb And Funny Mistakes People Made While Traveling Several years ago when I was still in college I planned a trip over winter break to Mexico to meet a friend; I flew into Cancun to meet him, and then several days later we both flew to CDMX (so I'd booked three one-way flights in total, which is about to become very important). When it came time for me to fly home, I got to the airport and went to use the check-in kiosk, which didn't work for some reason. I went over to the desk, gave them my info, and after a bit of confusion they dropped the horrible truth on me.

I'd booked my flight home for the correct day of the week and time, but a week prior.

I'd probably made the f**k up by selecting the correct date while booking, then the page getting reloaded or something and I was in a rush to get through my previous steps, though I'm not sure how I missed the date in the emails the airline sent me. Regardless, after panicking for a bit, I actually managed to get a flight only a few hours later (with some help from my parents who were actually in front of a computer), but it was definitely a costly mistake, in money and definitely in my pride.

Worst part is this is far from the only time I've mixed up dates with online booking, none have had such high stakes but some have been even more embarrassing, I seem to have a hard time learning this particular lesson.

My first solo trip and first time out of Europe (to South Korea in 2012). The only pair of shoes I took was the new shoes I just bought and was wearing, which turned out to be very low quality. They had these air chambers in the soles which broke pretty much on the first day and cut into my soles, so both had like 3-5 big blisters spread across them. So I could barely walk, only had those s****y shoes, and it turned out they didn't have my size at any of the nearby shoe stores. Eventually figured out that there was shoe stores with bigger sizes near the American military base. I had a taxi take me there, and the largest shoes they had fit me perfectly. After that the trip was great, but I lost at least 3-4 days to that lol.

Lesson learned: make sure to wear proper shoes and bring backup shoes if you're planning to walk a lot.

The whole ''I want to go to out-of-the-way places, see how people really live'' thing, you can get away with it in some countries or regions, in others it verges on stupidity.

The time I ''took some back-streets'' in Ho Chi Minh City, was followed by a guy that was out to rob me (stupidly had a new digital SLR slung around my neck), I ended up getting lost in the tangle of streets with this guy following me the whole way, ended up in a live-kill market. Saw and heard things in that market that should have put me off animal products forever.

The worst though was in Cambodia. Stopped in Battambang for one night. I learnt later that Battambang has another nickname which made total sense to me when I learnt it. I hate touristy areas so went for a wander to the outskirts and found this hotel that looked okay, at least externally. Went in and asked for a room, the owners spoke no English and I certainly don't speak Khmer. Still, I managed to convey that I wished to stay there. They looked horrified, which totally confused me. I was tired, hot and persistent however so they let me take a room for the night.

Got to the room, which I could only describe as being built for orgies. Bed almost in the centre of the room, a weird hexagonal shape and raised up on like a dais. Mirrors everywhere, including on the ceiling. I thought it was hilarious, but made sure I checked the bed linen. Really, I should have just gone back and said ''no thanks'', and kept going. I was absolutely dog-tired though and you get some really bad rooms everywhere you go, so whatever. I had a shower and thought I would head out for something to eat.

It had gotten dark, and just up the road from this hotel was a side street which had lots of fluoro lighting and karaoke pumping from various establishments. Sweet, I like watching karaoke so I decided to head down. You're accustomed to getting looks as a pasty-redhead tourist, especially in SE Asia, but I started to get a little unnerved by just how much I seemed to draw attention. I quickly headed into this karaoke hall that had patrons drinking beer and eating food. Right, let's just go in and get a feed and get the hell out of here back to my Porn Studio room.

Once again, it was like those old Westerns where a stranger walks into the saloon. A buzz kind of went through the place, and *everybody* turned to look at me. I sat quickly, a lovely woman (who spoke no English, and I speak no Khmer) quickly came over with a bucket of Angkor beer bottles in ice. I gestured for a menu, which seemed to cause her some alarm but she came back with one. Menu was written in Khmer so I just picked something off one of the pictures. The food arrived quite promptly, which was merciful, so I just tucked in.

Anyway, in strode this man with an older teenage boy in tow. This caused quite a lot of hushed chatter among the locals and averted gazes. This man was well-dressed, and I thought he looked like some official-type. He looked over at me and then proceeded to stride straight over to me. The next few minutes was one of the most bizarre times of my life. He said ''hello'', and I responded in kind. He said ''you're very handsome'' and then proceeded to reach out and start stroking my head with his hand. I froze completely, my eyes darted to those around me and all I saw were horrified faces peering back at me. I muttered a ''thanks'' and just proceeded to keep eating, my mind racing the whole time. He then said ''very handsome'', and (I'm not kidding) he pushed his groin at me so that, basically, sitting on my left shoulder was his crotch. I flashed a look at the boy and he looked horrified and repulsed. I just sat, stared ahead, and just pretended I wasn't there - his hand stroking my head the whole time. This seemed to take forever, and honestly it took longer for him to register my disgust than it ought to have. He did stop however, just turned and left. I just sat dazed, with pitying looks being shot my way from everyone. The lovely woman came, I paid without finishing my food and just left.

Talking to another traveller about this in Siem Reap, he kindly let me know that Battambang has the nickname of ''Bottombang'' and is quite the sex tourist town, albeit for men who prefer the company of other men. I believe the town has tried to clean up its image in recent years though (my little encounter was about 7-8 years ago).

After that little foray, I decided it best to not venture beyond the ''safe'' touristy areas in my travels. Not by myself at least anyway.

French Diver’s “Jewels” In Tight Swimming Trunks Become Talk Of The Town At Olympics

I’m a bit scatterbrained but haven’t had any major mishaps when travelling.

I lost my phone when I was on a night out in Budapest but luckily I was with a friend so I could still get in contact with people.

At Monterey airport, I realised at check-in that I didn’t have my phone - all my flight and hotel details were on it so I was starting to panic a bit. I knew it would either be in the taxi (ran outside and the driver was still there - we searched the taxi but no sign) or I’d left it at the guesthouse I’d been staying in. The lovely man at check-in phoned the guesthouse and the manager found my phone on a bench outside. Hopped back in a taxi to collect it, then back to the airport. Managed to make the flight and kept a very close eye on my phone for the rest of the trip.

40 Dumb And Funny Mistakes People Made While Traveling Miscommunicating with the co-driver, almost getting killed by a truck, sweet age 21.

Almost walking into a crime rehab center on a remote island near the mexican coast.
climbed the island's hill, got a bit "dereailed" on the way down, and the center's area was open on that side - there was just nothing to run away to.

^(got stopped by two friendly guys telling me I barely missed the "inmates" going for a swim - on their own, which, as they said "could be a little problem".)

Driving in Dushanbe - forgetting my drivers license and car papers in the hostel. Getting into a police checkpoint. Realized it the very moment I saw the cops. but them checking on each car created a jam, no way to turn around.

^(Immediately asked how to get to my destination, which switched the cop to "help the tourist" mode. Got directions, and a friendly goodbye, no papers asked.)

Taking a wrong turn at the Absheron peninsual near Baku, THEN trying to take a photo with one of the pumps, *THEN* handing over my passport to the guard (instead of just showing it). AZ is very paranoid there esp. about Armenian spies.

^(lucky me, no armenian stamp in my passport)

Taking on a hitchiker in Tehran, getting into a scam that I still have to wrap my head around.

^(Cost me four hours and nothing else, but still.)

Getting lost in a posh(!) Buenos Aires subburb, then getting surrounded by a pack of dogs. Free roaming dog in Argentina are *not* afraid of sticks and stones. Getting a hands-on experience on how they hunt "big game".

^(some local saved me.)

Phew. That's kinda cathartic.

40 Dumb And Funny Mistakes People Made While Traveling First international trip I was so excited, I walked right out of the airport without getting a sim card. The tram was fairly new, so they had lovely employees helping the tourists get on their way, so it still didn't hit me. I was staring out the tram window with child-like wonderment the entire trip, just a happy little moron. Then I pulled my phone out for the walking instructions to the hotel and that's when I realized my mistake.

I had looked up the instructions the night before, but it was quickly obvious that I did a p**s poor job remembering them. I hadn't slept on the flight, because of the excitement and I found out Edinburgh has some San Francisco-esque steep streets, which is a blast with luggage. Thankfully a wonderful local was kind enough to point me in the right direction after about 30 minutes of trying on my own. All I could do was laugh at myself, good lesson to learn early on, always have paper back ups of important info. You know, common sense. I will always love Edinburgh for the stupidity it inspired in me and the kindness of the people who helped me.

I have to say, you've got a great attitude about this. While I'm sorry it happened, I think your attitude will likely help in still making the most of this trip. I hope it's better than you expect, and I hope that some day you hit a jackpot of good luck on your travels. And this may be naive of me, but could you call in and check, maybe someone has cancelled or got sick and you can squeeze in? Fingers crossed a miracle is in your near future!

I was in Vietnam with a friend for a few days. We were splitting, she to go home and I was going to another city... One I thought was like an hour away called Hoi An.... Not to realise that when I'd booked my hostel, it was is Hanoi.

This distinction is a little clearer in Vietnamese but just typing in quickly in Booking.com... I didn't realise. When we were checking out and the receptionist was asking about our plans and she was like "well that's a long journey how are you getting to the airport?" Needless to say I was very confused and stressed.

But I decided to just go to Hanoi since the booking was non-refundable. A quick Skyscanner search, £45 and an overpriced taxi and I was in Hanoi. Felt so stupid though because my friend asked about my side of the trip 3 times before we left.

40 Dumb And Funny Mistakes People Made While Traveling On my first solo trip my departing flight was from Budapest early in the morning. I had a lot of physical forints left over that I wanted to spend... I went to bar with a friend and spent the lot. When we stood up to leave, I realised I'd had a bit too much, considering the fact that I had to go back to my hostel, pack my bag silently, find the bus and navigate the airport. I managed to do ALL of this completely zonked. But as soon as I sat down, I nodded off to sleep. All my hard work, down the drain. When I woke up, I was sober and promptly realised I'd missed my flight. I'm a bit more seasoned now, and if this happened again, I would take it as a sign to stay in the city a little bit longer and take the next cheap flight. But I was 18 at the time and scared s**tless, so I booked a flight for the same day. A couple of hundred euros I'll never get back :( I also went to Auschwitz recently with my boyfriend. We are both living in the Benelux region and are used to efficient and regular public transport. We didn't even think to check the train schedule back to Krakow. We almost got stranded there because they stop at around 7pm.

so two major mistakes my husband has made (please dont judge him):

-flight from Orlando to Paris was printed as military time on our tickets. He fudged up the time we were suppose to be there versus take off, so we ended up GETTING to the airport when in reality the flight was taking off so we missed our flight.

- totally separate trip, again Paris related: **Not budgeting**. Right after our wedding, we took off on a 10 day excursion that went to London, Paris, Berlin and Venice. Because we didnt have a joint account set up, he deposited a majority of the money made out to us in his account. I didnt think the wiser. Well that back fired because we were yolo'ing the hell out of our trip and were broke by the time our Paris leg was up. Thankfully I had my own money but because of that we do not share money at all lol. Mind you, this was 8 years ago so he has grown up a lot since then but on a side note I will tell you, not sharing money makes for a happier marriage IMO. Dont beat yourself up too much OP. Happens to the best of us.

Free hints here for South Africa: 1. digital payments work more or less everywhere, no cash really needed unless it's a scam or a street vendor. Few vendors however take diners/amex, you must use master or visa. Or applepay, or similar. 2. Street-based scammers are rare but they might have a buddy pickpocketing you. Keep everything in a bag slung round your front at all times, never leave bags unattended anywhere. 3. Always park close to your venue near the parking guards, do not park in dark alleys etc. or away from other cars. 4. Drive with windows rolled up so beggars etc., can bother you as little as possible. But carry some coins for them anyway as some are truly needy. 5. MJ consumption is legal but selling it is not and other drugs are not. 6. Do not drink in public except restaurants/bars. On the street, in transit, etc., is illegal. 7. Take safety advice from locals. If they say it's a bad area do not go there. 8. You can get bulk passes for museums (iziko). 9....

9. Rent a car do not use public transport, you might die. Except gautrain that is fancy. We drive on the left like the brits. 10. We use DD/MM/YYYY like sensible people. 11. We use british terms: petrol, petrol station. 12. We are kinda anarchists and aren't very strict except on drink driving. Don't do that. 13. Our constitution protects LGBTQ+ people but some areas are no-go, so don't flaunt it outside of fancy areas. In fancy areas it's no problem. It is technically illegal to be denied service because of LGBTQ+. 14. Always carry your passport on you in a safe place e.g. bag strapped around your front. We are obsessed with asking people for ID. 15. Get a local simcard on arrival at the airport. Vodacom is the MOST expensive, prices and data bundles vary. You don't need voice minutes/sms. You just need data. Everyone is on Whatsapp, so install it. 15. Install Waze, Uber, Zomato, Google Translate, Zapper. You probably will need them.

My stag do way back in 2004, fly out to Prague on the Friday back on the Sunday. Realised before I confirmed the booking that we were coming back on the Saturday so used the back button, changed it and completed the booking. A little while later I go to book another 6 tickets on the same flights (more people decided to come) and noticed my original booking was coming back on the Saturday. I was a web dev at the time, knew exacly what the problem in their system was (session cookies) told them and flagged how to resolve it. They told me the issue was mine and I'd need to pay another £250 to correct the issue, had no choice really. Fix the original error, go to book the new 6 tickets, every page now has a messagebox saying not to use the back button as there's a system issues when changing flight details.
