A2. I don't think I've ever missed a flight, but I came pretty close after getting stuck in the Athens riots back in 2011. #TRLT

A3: Cut it too close leaving Tokyo & couldn't find the bus station where we'd left luggage in a locker. I freaked. Funny in retrospect but ended well - after my apologies. via @postcardsplaces #TRLT

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @postcardsplaces A3 this was a note on the receipt from a lunch in @visitlauderdale @VISITFLORIDA. With @HeidiSiefkas, a friend, and my mom. Heidi and I at least guffawed at this sentiment. #travel #funness #TRLT šš·

A3: a funny misadventure that I've experienced on The Road Less Travelled, after finding a camping spot late one evening, while relaxing by the fire, I heard something skittering around our site, turns out there were several skunks in the area. š¾

A3: When our tour boat rudder motor failed in @GlacierBayNPS, we got to spend extra time at the Johns Hopkins Glacier (while the crew cooked up fresh cookies), and then got our only experience of travelling in life boats and on a cruise ship.

Went to take a photo of a beautiful government building in Saigon. As soon as I got the photo, a guard with a large gun shouted "no, no, no!" I shouted "sorry" and walked away as fast as I could. #trlt https://t.co/qoxSaJCKac

A3: I was being driven to the terracotta warriors, the driver stoped at the middle of the highway and jumped over the guardrail. I couldnāt figure what went on, thought we were being chased. When I got out scared, I went and looked down...he had to go for a number 2. #TRLT

A3: Walking in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. Police keen for us not to photograph people or 'sensitive' buildings. We went into a cafe for a break. bunch of police there, playing chess, eating Mars bars (or local version), as relaxed as anything! @postcardsplaces #TRLT

#trlt A3: I've spoken before about my time at the Benin-Togo border where my share-taxi disappeared with my luggage still in it? Turns out he'd just got bored of waiting for me to officially be stamped though & dropped off his other passenger!

replying to @StuartMHurlbut
@StuartMHurlbut @Sputniktechno @RTWBarefoot @CharlesMcCool I will keep that in mind. Although, anyone who knows me, also knows if there's a risk something might happen, it most likely will. and yet I'm still adventurous and sometimes things just don't go as planned, in my case quite often actually. :-)

I've been escorted through the airport because my connecting flight was waiting for me. Also had a train not show up in Chiang Mai. Asked about it after an hour or so and I'm fairly certain the station attendant said it had fallen off the track. #trlt https://t.co/vpKpw69o7s

A3- When I first moved to Germany, I needed furniture. The closest Ikea was in Belgium. Spent the weekend in š§šŖ#Brussels. Never made it to Ikea.

@ChinaMatt Yikes! We had a similar experience in Cuba when my guy went to photograph a police officer.
He said no quite adamantly and we hightailed it away. #TRLT

A3: Back in 1989, wildlife writer Mike Unwin tried to smuggle hard currency out of Zimbabwe in a train toilet. It was this very story that inspired us to publish The Irresponsible Traveller, our collection of tales all about misadventures: https://t.co/m5ukZR6XYe #TRLT

replying to @tripwellness @tripwellness @afewmilesmore @Sputniktechno @CaitlinKellyNYC @loyaltytravels one of my friends used to work in a kennels where the border guards at Toulouse airport picked up their sniffer dogs from. It meant she could probably have walked into that airport with pretty much anything & the dogs would have been happy to let her through! #trlt

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 I think it was because there was a government event at the time. No problem if you took a photo from across the street, but I wanted the close angle. #trlt
