Ever had one of those “spontaneous” trips that turns into a full-on comedy of errors?🙈
⠀
That was me, deciding to escape the gloom and soak up some sun on Cyprus for a week. And let me tell you, this trip was a wild ride from the start...
⠀

It all kicked off with me almost missing my train because… guess who forgot her driver’s license at home? Yep, this girl. Cue me racing back, grabbing the license in the nick of time, and jumping on the train with about 30 seconds to spare. Crisis averted, right? Ha, if only.
⠀

Fast-forward to me landing in Cyprus at 11 PM, ready to pick up my rental car. The guy hands me the keys and asks for my credit card with my name on it. Spoiler alert: I didn’t have one. No card, not enough cash, and it’s the middle of the night. So, we’re off to the nearest ATM with insane fees to fix this little hiccup. But wait—there’s more.
⠀

I get to the car and notice something off. Oh, right—the steering wheel is on the other side. Turns out, Cyprus has left-hand driving. At this point, I’m exhausted, my phone is down to 15% battery, and I’ve got an hour-and-a-half drive ahead of me. Perfect.💔
⠀

So, I’m creeping along at 30 km/h, trying not to have a meltdown. And then my phone dies. No GPS, no clue where I am. I somehow end up in a tiny village, completely lost, wandering the streets like a clueless tourist at 1 AM. Eventually, I find a hotel, beg them to let me charge my phone, and—surprise—they have those UK-style outlets, and I didn’t bring an adapter. Classic.

Long story short: I managed to get my phone charged just enough to find my rental apartment. Turns out, I was literally 10 meters away the whole time but couldn’t find the entrance.

Looking back, I can’t help but laugh at the chaos of it all. Lesson learned: always, ALWAYS do a little research before hopping on a plane—even if it’s “just Europe.”
