Travel Hiccups

 Hiccups are a part of life. They can happen naturally, out of human error or just because that's how the cookie crumbled. But, damn, aren't they annoying?!!Unfortunately traveling isn't always sunshine, glitter and rainbows with a drink in your hand on a nice warm day with no cares in the world. Ahhhh that would be nice. But then again, everyone would travel if that was the case. If you're going to travel. You have to embrace it all, even the shit parts.Over the last month and a half, Camden and I have had an incredibly tough time leaving countries. And not for the, " oh this place is so beautiful" reason. Haha that would be nice.While leaving Peru we were charged for four tickets instead of two. Which called for calling banks, trying to get refunds and just the run around. Then our flight was cancelled trying to get to Brazil duet weather. Our 12 hour travel day turned into a full 24.While leaving Brazil, we were lucky enough to not run into any problems! Score! Except for the fact there was NO FOOD in their airport! (Note to self ALWAYS travel with snacks).While leaving London the first time (by train) we were next to four screaming children for five hours while we rode up to Scotland. Lovely.While leaving London for the second time to go to Poland we were faced with our hardest day to date.1. We used the wrong travel card to get on the train and was find 36£ each (we used the oyster and apparently we would be fined by doing so...and it was written no where..)2. The airline we booked with (Ryanair) has a policy where if you do not check in before you get to the airport you are charged 45£ per person. They had the wrong email for me so I was unaware of the policy in place.3. Once we arrived in Poland we thought we knew where we were going. All looked well, until we couldn't understand any signs and was unsure of the train we were on. (Note to self: dorm second guess yourself)... We were given directions from 6 different people sending us all around the city of Warsaw. All of which were incorrect. But nonetheless, bless them for trying to help us! Thankfully we found a reliable source on the third train. And was directed to yet another train. Luckily we have an awesome host in place, who was very understanding and flexible with us.Needless to say there are going tough times. Like everything else in life. And those tough times can be DEVASTATING while traveling. But this is part of the experience. We signed up for the unknown. We have to remember how thankful we are to be here. How much we wanted to come and explore. Remind ourselves what we came here for. We signed up for chasing down strangers to ask for help in broken languages.Regardless of wherever you go, the trains will be different, the people will be different, the language will be different, EVERYTHING WILL BE DIFFERENT. But hey, isn't that what we are looking for?Difference: It's something we have to hold special instead of resent it.It's so hard in the moment to be okay with it all. It's hard not to throw in the towel and say. " I quit. No more. I want familiarity back!" But no. We can not. In a few days we will look back from this and (hopefully) laugh about the obstacles we have overcome.We came here to experience. To grow. To learn. To live and to be.We are not dead or injured. We are not quitters. We are not all rainbows and sunshine 24/7. That would be boring.We are travelers. And this is part of our life. To follow our journey in even more depth please check out our other social media outlets!Instagram:@christinabammbina @marlon_cramdo#boygirlandtheworldYouTube:https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCC9qwNoy9QSRXLHKgoKLHtw
