Have you ever had something crazy happen abroad?
Posted in Travel Tips on February 15, 2013
For some reason crazy stuff just happens to me on the road all the time. At first I thought it was me. Do I attract this madness? The reality is I probably do a bit. I live in such a daydream that I wander into crazy situations quite a lot (mostly because of my own stupidity and the fact I live in la la land most of the time.) Thankfully most of it just turns into hilarious tales that I can tell my friends and family over dinner. One thing I have noticed though is that all of my crazy stories come from my travels. Rarely do I have a crazy tale to tell about home. Life is just a little more insane on the road, albeit a kind of insane that I enjoy (most of the time.)
With that in mind I thought I’d share a funny story with you about something that happened to me in Berlin a couple of years ago. It’s not even close to some of the crazy shit that’s happened to me on the road, but it is an entertaining story so I hope you enjoy! I felt it would be better told in person so I’ve created this video below to tell the story… 
You are FUNNY!!! Great story Jane!!!
too funny! i’m glad you had a happy ending.
i was once robbed in ghana. i actually didn’t even realize i was being robbed until halfway through. the guy jumped out of a bush and pushed me down and the whole time i was trying to process if i’d tripped. i couldn’t for whatever reason wrap my head around the fact that i was actually being robbed. luckily he didn’t get much more than twenty dollars and an old travel purse.
Wow! I must say that I’d probably react the exact same if I was in this situation. I think I’d be so confused and shocked that I wouldn’t know what to do when i saw the protester! Luckily I haven’t had anything terrible happen to me while I was traveling. The worst thing I’ve probably seen was when a police office in France tried to tell me I had to pay him 100 euros to get on a train unless I wanted to be arrested. I panicked because I didn’t know why until another officer came over and I found out I did nothing wrong that the other office was just trying to make money off a tourist! I was very scared though because I thought he’d take me to jail for no reason.
You really cool girl =) @JessieFinest
