Most embarrassing/worst travel moment: The worst travel moment thus far would be not being able to access my checking account abroad while in Thailand on a solo trip by myself a couple days right before heading to the Full Moon Party on Koh Samui. I thought I’d have to cancel it as my bank in Korea did not want to allow me to “activate” international withdrawals without being in the bank. Thank God for ride or die friends who helped me get it worked out!
