We've all been there, a few too many bags of goon, one thing leads to another... and the next thing you know you're
naked in an unfamiliar bunk bed. But AT LEAST, you've never been one of these guys or have you?!

1. "I was attempting to climb the Mo Paeng waterfall in Thailand, but fell down — and couldn't get back up. Three local kids started to help me out, but in the process, they pulled down my pants." - Anonymous, aged 21, Bristol, England

embarrassed face

2. 'While hitchhiking through central and southern Europe with a friend, we opted to use cardboard signs with "Canada to Athens" written on them - because everyone likes Canadians. For the record, we're American.' - Anonymous, aged 26, Washington, DC, USA

sneaky face

3. "I forgot shower shoes for the hostel bathroom, so I pulled an Orange is the New Black and wrapped some maxi pads around my feet. Obviously I bought flip-flops the next day." - Anonymous, aged 19, Dublin, Ireland
yuck

4. "I got bed bugs my first night in Paris and brought them into my homestay — I was mortified." - Anonymous, aged 23, Sydney, Australia

itchy

5. "One of the girls in my hostel room in La Paz, Bolivia, was wasted drunk, so I decided to help her get into bed. Then all of the sudden, she started peeing. On me. Nice guy never wins, right?" - Anonymous, aged 22, London, England

vomit

6. 'I once had sex with someone in the sea during a backpacking trip to Mexico. We ended up climbing out into a little wooden boat about 10 metres from the beach. That's when the police came - with spotlights. The officers had taken all our clothes, so we had to beg them not to send us to prison. Completely naked.' - Anonymous, aged 26, London, England

embarrassed

7. "I went to bed early, and got woken up by someone puking on my hostel pillow a couple hours later." - Anonymous, aged 23, Berlin, Germany

horrified

Yuuuuuuck! Well, that's what backpacking is all about ...isn't it?
