• (#11) They Endured An Intense Bus Ride In India

  From Redditor /u/Anal_Mouse:

  In India our bus rounded a corner in the mountains and another bus was on the other side of the curve. Both buses skid to a stop about 1 foot from one another.

  Both drivers started laughing and poking fun at each other. We saw a bus from the '80s that fell down the mountain about 15 minutes later.
• (#5) A Taxi Driver Tried To Trap Them In Nicaragua

  From Redditor /u/michiganmaestra:

  I was traveling in Nicaragua several years ago when I got lost and ended up having to take a taxi at 9:30 pm back to my hostel. When the taxi pulled up to the curb, the taxi driver locked the taxi doors and told me I had misunderstood the fare.

  He claimed I owed him $100 USD, which was several times more than we had agreed upon. I tried to pry the doors open from the inside but was completely trapped. Thankfully, he let me out of the taxi after taking all the money I had on me.

  The hostel workers told me I was incredibly lucky. A few days earlier, a taxi driver had [taken] another young female...
• (#4) They Woke Up In A Detached Train Car In Slovenia

  From Redditor /u/ThoriumJeep:

  [I] fell asleep on a train from Croatia to Italy. I woke up to find myself locked in the train car, which had been detached from the engine and parked in a yard.

  I had missed my connection and no one must have checked the train before parking it. [I] found out I was in Slovenia after finding a way out of the train.
• (#1) They Were Stopped In Ukraine By Russian Militants

  From Redditor /u/cancercuressmoking:

  I went to visit Ukraine with my parents because they wanted to see the small villages where their parents were born. We have no family in the area so we hired a guide to take us around since the country can be a bit corrupt.

  As we were driving around on a highway we suddenly were stopped in traffic (literally [in the] middle of nowhere). The guide gets out of the car and takes a look, then quickly jumps back into the car, does a U-turn and drives off telling my mom we can't go to her mom's village.

  We ask why and he says that was some kind of Russian militant roadblock. This was during the whole Crimea thing.
• (#9) Wild Dogs Chased Them In Kosovo

  From Redditor /u/Phil567:

  I had a pack of wild dogs chase me from my bus stop to my hotel at 3 am in Kosovo.

  I also had an old woman yell at me in Russian about not making my bed right on the train... then watched over my shoulder until it was to her satisfaction when I was on my way back to Bucharest from Moldova.
• (#21) They Had A Creepy Reptilian Visitor In Mexico

  From Redditor /u/PUnitThugLife:

  We were in Tulum, [Mexico], in one of those fancy palapas [open shelters with roofs of palm leaves or branches] right on the beach. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time we were there, but I figured I would hang out on our little private patio, which included a hammock.

  I lay down in the hammock and looked up at the palapa roof only to see that a 4-foot monitor lizard had decided to hide from the rain under the patio roof.

  I totally froze and we locked eyes. His face was only about 6 feet away from my face and all I could focus on was the huge claws on its feet. He probably could have just eaten me and I would have... been paralyzed with fear.

  After our initial staredown he decided he should leave and slowly made his way down from the roof and casually strolled away down the beach.
