Getting lost can be fun when you have your phone or a back up plan to find your way around. Sadly, this wasn’t the case for me. What made it worst, my phone had died and I was in an unfamiliar city. No taxi in plain sight to be found. It was at this very moment I knew the horrible situation I was in.
Had to use my foggy memory to get back. It was a diffcult task but I had no choice. Started to retrace my steps, slowly but surely the enviorment started to look familiar. I remember the clarion hotel that my airbnb host pointed out. She said use it as a pinpoint to know where you are at. Kept walking and trying to remember the surroundings.
Got back to the residential part of the city. This is where it got hard. A lot of the homes looked the same at night. The streets and curves, everything looked similar. I started to get a little nervous but, I still felt like everything will be alright. Asked a group of women where a certain street was. They claimed they didn’t know where any street was. I remember the name of the street closest to the my airbnb apartment. Normally, I wouldn’t mind being out this late and lost. However, my flight was in the morning and I left my passport in the apartment. It was no fun.
Eventually, I found the street. Walked in the direction that made sense and looked fimilar. The more I walked, the more I felt calm. I found the building to where the apartment was at. I noticed it wasn’t too far from where I asked the group of women. It was hard to believe they didn’t know where this street was. However, a random guy with an American accent asking for directions at night. I’m pretty sure they probably thought I was going to rob them or something. Either way, I was happy to be back in the apartment.
Stay safe everyone and remember to wash your hands!

What an adventure! Would you have another go?
yeah of course…i love getting myself out of these types of situtations. it’s kind of fun in a weird way
I now understand what you mean by an overused passport.
Ahh man it’s horrible getting lost but worse when you have no phone and it’s dark. Nice post!
yes… i freaked out! thank you so much for your comment!
What a scary thought! I’ve gotten lost during the daylight while traveling but never at night. yikes!
yeah, traveling being lost is very scary! keep safe!
Geez I felt anxiety from the post. I hate to be lost – I’m glad you found your way, and that you were so cool about it! That would not have been me. 😅
yes the anxiety was crazy! thank you for your comment. keep safe out there
Yes, this would be a nightmare for me, especially since I get lost in my own home town. 😜 Excellent post!
haha getting lost in another city is nothing being back home. keep safe!
LOL! Totally get how you felt. The same happened to me multiple times, and it was in a country where they didn’t speak English! Thankfully you managed to find your way back!
wow lol i would freak out it, if they didn’t speak any of the languges i spoke. i would probably found a way though but still it would be crazy. glad u came out okay.
I remember getting lost in Venice. It was okay because I kept stopping at Cafes for a vino to get my bearings. Ended up at a funeral. It all added to the experience ……
Wow that sound awesome and a great experience altogether

Shortly after moving to NYC I had a similar experience and completely blanked on the temporary housing street name. Took me ages but I made it. Your adventure looked far more scary though!
It was and wasn’t. I feel nyc at night is more dangerous. Been living there.for over a while now.and i felt more scared in nyc. There was a lot i was risking that night. I could had been stuck in ireland until i bought another flight
Getting lost at night is scary in your own city, let alone somewhere completely new! Not a fun time!
I know right! This wasn’t the first time unfortunately$
Nice post.
Thank you!
