I thought this was going to be a silly story about that one time everything went comically wrong but that last part hit me like a truck. It really puts into perspective how much we take for granted. My condolences.
when she said bite, I knew. I've had them in our city apartment and cried. Also you get PTSD afterwards that they are still there even though you had an exterminator and heated all your clothes and items
@@arex9000broo I'm in school and in my campus room, it was a bed bug galore 😭, I'm down bunk and it mostly affected me because there were like more than ten when I got of the bed in the middle of the night and turned on the light to see them crawling around, they fr gave me ptsd and honestly they make mosquitoes look like saints 😭🙏🏾
I agree. the 'problems' that we face can be insignificant with a twist in events or a sudden loss. time stops, your thoughts just stands still even your blood refuses to flow in your veins. and the worst or best part is you may never know if such a thing could happen tomorrow or 5 years later. I know I kinda drag this too much but this was my default mindset ever since 2016: the year I bounced back from a long period of depression. everything was feeling so great I was afraid to lose it once again.
@mehmetgurdal They're still valid problems, more piled on, as if it wasn't aggravating enough for them or you, suddenly some extra hurt crushes us downwards. It was worth processing the emotions the whole way through, as she aptly put it near the end, "I still don't like traveling." Glad you're doing better, by the way!
Aye, traumatic events/if it is/was what I think it was it is truly one of the most challenging moments we humans can go through, whether we are alone or not. It may be inevitable, and we may run from it, due to how heavy of a topic/conversation it is, but still it is something we can never truly prepare for until it happens to us, we may think we will be fine and/or be able to handle it, then bam the news hits us and we end up handling in a way we never intended. Tomorrow is never a 'given' for any one of us, nor are we capable of knowing when the last time we will ever speak to a loved one, and even if we know it, and we think we prepare for it, later on we may think of something we missed or something we think we should of.... could've... would have said if we could only have one more second with a loved one. Regret and the not knowing be it the knowledge of the last day, or simply just not knowing what to say, or how to say it, is something that is immensely difficult to navigate. As Ege said, my condolences indeed, I hope we all can find someone or the will power to keep going after a traumatic event, albeit I know that is much easier said than done, as our minds will be weighed down with many a thought.
"I bet you're not scared of driving..." "I am." Is the single most relatable anxiety thing I've ever seen. Like, yes, being in a speedy metal box relying on the due diligence and caution of every other human being is scary.
Even scarier is that I have rely on my own diligence and caustion, like biss, I tend to forget where I put my glasses while im wearing them, dont give a deathbox worth thousands of dollars
Oh boy, you dont want to go to South Asia and SEA with that. Imagine being haunted by every chance of motorcycle slipping from every single corner of your vehicle, with less than 30 cm of space frequently.
if someone told me that id still can sleap BUT IF I SEE A BED BUG im just gonna be turning on my computer and stay up all night also 255 likes but no replies how
As a man who lives in the UK, I would like to say to Eli and Daidus as a representative of the whole of the UK, WE ARE SORRY FOR THE SHITE YOU HAD TO ENDURE
you should not feel responsible for what happened to them in the UK just because you're from there..and no you can never represent a whole country and everyone knows that ..just feel sorry for them like everyone else and wish them the best for their next flight that's it.
@@Tonyair23 We don’t know but it’s not really our place to know what’s happened since it’s personal to Daidus and his family this happened recently also so he’s probably still grieving/recovering.
Lets just take a minute for Daidus. So sorry for your loss. And another minute to appreciate Sydney, cuz she is amazing for rescuing you from the bedbug hell.
It’s all perspective. They had crappy rooms but a friend was able to help them twice. They went to two anime cons. Seems they have friends to be there for them and support them. It could have been worse. Maybe God made it a better for them. Idk if anyone believes in him, but some should try to look at it in a different perspective. Also Daidus had food poisoning, but ate a lot of amazing food. The world isn’t perfect. Stuff will happen.
@@skylopez2593 It literally ended with Daidus' relative dying, what the hell are you on about. There is nothing WRONG with admitting a situation is bad. Stop with the toxic positivity ffs.
As a fellow victim of the nasty little bloodsuckers, I feel your pain. Literally. Even after I threw out my mattress, deep cleaned ALL the laundry and linens, had the house professionally fumigated and bought a new mattress, I STILL find myself panicking over every little itch thinking they’re back.
You and me both. A friend of mine once gave me a bed bug. Thankfully I was having an insomnia attack when it decided to come out and I extra extra killed it. I'm so glad I got it before it had the chance to reproduce.
College student in Viet Nam, military training for 1 month on a military camp, insects, lot of insects, it kind of fun... until bed bugs come to my bed, oh boy idk it was bed bug for 3 days, the pain is so real.
I don’t want to dwell on the negative, but what a truly horrible time to receive that kind of news, when there’s absolutely no reprieve for hours on end. I’m glad to hear you guys are doing better! Lots of love! To share in a terrible travel storie!! I think my personal worst was also an international flight! For context, I’ve got some intense food/texture sensitivity. On this particular return trip, I was hit back to back to back with in flight meals that had textures I just couldn’t stomach, so I couldn’t eat them at all. Then the time between flights was so tight that we had to sprint through the airport, absolutely no time to grab anything else to eat. By the time I got to my last flight, I had been up so absurdly long, and I was so nauseous, I almost passed out right after we took off. A ton of the flight attendants rushed over to move me to the back of the plane where I could lay down, and someone brought me a chicken sandwich that i was actually able to eat. It probably wasn’t actually that delicious, but it was such a godsend in the moment that I have dreams about getting to eat it again! It’s got real healing properties in my memory, nothing else compares.
OMG! Hi June! I love your videos! Sorry, I just never had been able to be the first to comment on one of my favorite creators comments before (usually they have hundreds of replies by the time I see them and they’re all “hi”s and “I love your videos” and now I understand why, I can’t really think of anything else to say at the moment 😅). I’m gonna leave my own bad travel story comment in the main section now cuz I just thought of one lol. Just wanna say you’re awesome! Have an amazing day/night!
I ignored this video initially because I thought it was another UA-camr complaining about the luxury of traveling, I was thinking “it’s truly a privilege to fly and do this for a living, so why complain about it?” But watching this all the way through made my heart break, Daidus, I hope all is good man, I know Emily says y’all are okay but losing someone is a pain that never really leaves, I’ve lost people in the past that have left scars on me, so please take care of yourself.
I went from never flying to having to fly every week for work for years, and both things can be true. It's a miracle and a luxury compared to having to drive or take a ship, for sure. Being able to board a plane on one side of the world and appear 13 hours later thousands of miles away is great. ... but airlines have made it as horrible as they're allowed, to the point that literally the government is having to step in and tell them things like "Passengers have legs, plan for that. You're not allowed to drug people. You can't stack them like cordwood. If people don't have room to flex their muscles, they will get blood clots and die." In 2005, the 737s being flown had 5 seats in a row, total seating for 108 to 130 people and it was tolerable. You had enough room, it was like sitting in someone else's worn out living room chair. In 2024, a 737 now has 6 seats in a row, and "fits" 200 people in about the same space. When I have to fly somewhere, my shoulders don't fit in the seat space, and I sit twisted for 3-4 hours, landing with horrible back pains just trying to stay out of my neighbor's space. No, "Comfort plus" seats don't fix that, it's $60 more for the same exact seat but with 4 more inches of legroom. First class is better, but a first class flight to Tokyo or Sydney is ~$16,000. Business class is ~$8k. You can fit a lot more cows in the truck on the way to the slaughterhouse if you cram them in a with a bulldozer. It's not pleasant for the ones who make the trip, but the ones in the field can tell themselves how much nicer it is than walking. The last two trips I've taken inside the continental US, I've looked at how far to drive, or if there's a train available rather than flying on our domestic airlines. Unfortunately 3 hours by plane vs 22 hours by train on the last route makes it not reasonable, but the airlines should really pay attention to the fact that people are looking for any way possible to not fly.
I can sadly relate to the loss during a long flight.. Me and my family were moving together to U.S.A last year, we had 3 seperate flights. Home country to Vietnam, Vietnam to Qatar, and finally Qatar to the U.S. As we were waiting for our last and longest flight in Qatar, our grandpa (my dad's father) died. It was a really hard blow as we were extremely close to him, especially my father. We already lost our grandma (my dad's mother, who was an angel) a few years back, and this was an extremely hard blow. It became depressing and horrible when we were trying to be so optimistic about this change in our lives. Condolences to Daidus, you and the loved one.
The moment Emily mentioned waking up in the middle of the night with "itchy bites on my arm", I immediately thought: "Oh no! Not that!... ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!"😰😱 Because I knew EXACTLY what those bites were from!
I get paranoia from those little shits even though I’ve never seen one my entire life, I naturally have paranoia issues but those things just take that to the next level I really can’t stand the thought of them existing
@@hhhhhhhhh1071 I feel ya! I actually avoided a Bed Bug infestation a long time ago, thanks to one of my colleagues warning me about the movie theatre I had my eyes on for Godzilla vs Kong. Had I gone to that theatre, I could have brought those little bastards home with me, and not even know it! Spoilers: I never went to that theatre, and instead streamed the movie at home.
@@hhhhhhhhh1071 Well, if it makes you feel any better, This specific theatre was in Edmonton, AB. Based on some screen shots, the floor had black and white checkered tiles, giving it a very old-fashioned look from the 80s. And my friend told me that specific theatre has had bed bugs quite frequently. Also, I've been visiting movie theatres for over a decade, and every time I've found ZERO bed bugs. Which is most likely due to how well maintained the theatres in my area are.
I can literally feel the pain behind Emi's story here, the painful experience of travelling is barely tolerable. The worst travelling experience you could normally get is when you get sick during the travel, and this happened to me by a lot.
I’m so sorry for the both of you. All of the incidents leading to depressing end just sucks. I hope Daidus recovers and may they rest in peace. And many thanks to Sydney and Garnt for being MVPs.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Since you requested worst travel stories, I'll give two. First is my worst 'not fun' story, which was having a full-blown panic attack traveling back home from the USA. I paid for a window seat and got right in the middle row, in the middle of the plane (I get travel sick, so that was a concern), I was sandwiched between two people so I couldn't reach my meds (I struggle to deal with strangers at the best of times) and I was traveling away from my best friend and only real family I have. I felt sick, I struggled to breathe and it took all my power to get to the restroom. The moment I did, I had a very audible panic attack. Next thing i remember, one of the staff have pulled me away, gave me water and handed me a bag to take my meds. They weren't anxiety med, they were anti-sickness meds, but they did evoke drowsiness. They had nowhere else for me to go (I was ready to lay on the floor for the whole trip, but I knew that couldn't happen) so I was moved back to my seat where I slept for half the trip and remained catatonic for the rest of it. Also my foot was fucked and needed help moving around. They provided a wheelchair, but dumped me on the wrong side of the airport and took the wheelchair away. That sucked. I was the last to get off my final connecting flight and the metal wheelchair this airport had prepared was left in the hot, summer sun for 15 minutes. First time I ever got sun burnt from a wheelchair. The 'fun' story was a domestic flight. I figured since the flight was only an hour that I didn't need to bother with ginger or meds, so I took neither. I started feeling sick ten minutes in, but the people traveling with me kept telling me that I was fine and that I had nothing to complain about. I was breathing like I was ready to give birth by the end. The lady at the end told everyone else to have a good day, but she took one look at my pale face and asked if I was going to faint. I told her that I was about five seconds away from spewing and I was quickly sat and given water, so I could have time to settle. The people with me were definitely sheepish for the rest of the day, that was sure.
I hope your traveling in the future is better than those. Those seemed pretty bad both times and being sick isn't nice. Virtual hugs if you want them 🤗
@@Lilywily143 🤗 Thanks. I haven't traveled much since these occurred both on 2019 and 2020, but here's hoping next year. If it makes you feel any better, the trip to the USA was down-right magical for the first third. Mainly cus' I had a window seat and I love watching the top of clouds. When you can see the top, sometimes, they look like the outlines of magical words that aren't remotely possible in reality.
Hey Em, here's some advice for you when it comes to ANY bugs, but in this case bedbugs: Carry peppermint oil! No seriously. My dads job had a bed bug issue, and he wanted to find natural ways to repel them (Didn't want to flood his locker with a chemical smell of bug repellants.) and he found out that peppermint oil was a VERY good repellant due to it's strong smell. Especially since, not only does it repel insects, but it can also kill them too! Ever notice how bugs have a shiny coating on them? That coating keeps them hydrated. The oil destroys that coating, so the bugs become un-alived via dehydration. So if you or Daidus ever decide to travel in the future, and are REALLY concerned about staying in a hotel for fear of bedbugs, try to carry a spray bottle filled with the stuff. You'll all smell minty, and the bugs will piss off, or meet God! EDIT: Also, I'm so sorry to hear about how god awful it was for you and Daidus all the way until the end. If you ever decide to travel again in the future, I hope your trip then won't even be anywhere NEAR 1/10th of a pain this trip was.
Holy fuck, can the universe give Emi a break already? That's just hell to hear, let alone experience it. Ay, Emi, you may not notice this but you've got my eternal support, you wholesome, graceful lady.
@@zainebhidoussi1498 True. Just talking about Emi in this scenario. Ofc, to those who continue to suffer especially Palestinians, may they get the justice they deserve.
As a gentleman from England I'm sorry you and Daidus had a rough time with hotels, bed bugs and the food poisoning none of should have happened and Daidus sorry about the sudden loss in the family it's not easy but stay strong for yourself and the people who loves you. P.S Yogurt really helped me with food poisoning.
@@cameronwalter5666 Sir I shall be writing to the King whom I insist to send you to the Tower of London where you will spend the night with the noisy crow's. P.S Crow's poop anywhere and everywhere so watch out!
“So you’re saying there’s still a chance?” This sums it up perfectly, personally speaking. The odds can be 1 in a billion, and the worry will remain because you know in the back of your head that all it takes is a bad roll of the dice, figuratively-speaking. Granted, that applies to everything; I believe we’ve magnified it with planes due to how much coverage incidents involving them get. Doesn’t quell the anxiety those of us get for flying in the end. In short, I share the exact same sentiment, down to the letter.
My first trip to Japan, we had 2 small kids behind us for the whole flight. 17 hours of seat kicking, high pitched screaming and kids running around. I call it the Hell Flight. My condolences to you both.
I am so so sorry that this happened to you and Daidus. That really sucks and I am so sorry for your loss. You both need a hug. I don’t like traveling either, but it usually ends okay. My worst trip though was when my parents took my to San Diego as a Christmas present. I got air sick on the plane for the first time. When we got there I got super congested, and was coughing and struggling to make my voice heard while at Sea world watching Shamu for the last time. We went on my first whale watching expedition in the luxurious captains quarters and even after taking medications threw up minutes after the ship took off. I spent the rest of the expedition behind the ship in clothes covered in stomach acid and seeing no sea life. My mom got sick soon after me and spent the rest the trip with me. The rest the trip went alright, but when we got back in the plane ride home I got sick again. I have never been so sick on a trip before of since then.
I’m so sorry for Daidus’ loss! My aunt went through a similar situation last month. We lost our grandma when my aunt was visiting Japan. It was horrible. Take all the time you need. My worst travel experience came from one of my best trips. I went to Costa Rica during the time of the FIFA World Cup. Everyone was super friendly, lively and happy. But I went zip lining and my shirt got stuck in the pulley that took you down to the next zip line level. The guy had to cut it off with a knife and take me down, exposing my bra to my whole extended family. I also sprained my ankle because the Airbnb had an indoor pond running through it that I forgot about when I went to get water at 3am. I was also stung by fire ants and my cousin had an allergic reaction to some gift shop chapstick. All and all I’d do the whole thing again because the vibes from the people were so great.
Thank you for being loving, reflective, and supportive to Daidus. He is a lucky man to have you period, but especially during these difficult times. I hope this event makes you two closer.
Damn, i was laughing all the way till the end.. and then it hit me.. I'm sorry about Daidus' loss.. I know you guys said everything is ok now, but I can't imagine how it must feel to loose someone under such conditions... Overall it was an amazing and emotional video.
@@DeionTP especially since it's something personal to Daidus, And losing someone you love during something that you were supposed to be enjoying can be really hard and can enduce PTSD and many other trauma related things..
Hey Emirichu and Daidus, first I want to say I'm so sorry for your guys loss, losing a family member is a really sad thing to happen, you guys have my condolence 🙏
I'm sorry that the trip was so difficult, but I'm really sorry to hear, that someone important to you guys passed away. My condolences. Hope that they are in a better place. Take care you all.
I’m so sorry to hear that you and Daidus had a rough trip, especially at the end… I hope Daidus is doing better! I will share my goofy travel mishap story to hopefully lighten up the mood in the comments like Emily suggested! It’s a tad long so buckle up! This year I went on a mission trip to Wyoming with my college pastor and a few fellow students in the ministry. This was my first time flying EVER! I was so excited to spend a week in a new state! The flight there went fine and I had a blast (a good friend of mine was sitting next to me and he is a missionary kid, so my excitement about being in a plane amused him to no end). We were there to help a church in a small town with their VBS, but in-between our work at the church we did sight seeing. One morning we went to a local hunting spot and it was gorgeous. We were all a bit spread out taking photos of wildflowers and the mountains (we don’t have mountains where I live lol) and I eventually decided to get out of the field and onto the main path. But I somehow tripped in a way that sprained BOTH MY ANKLES. I immediately collapsed and cried out. The girls closest to me ran to my side and my college pastor and the pastor from the church we were serving also hurried over. Luckily for me, in this tiny town of 2000 residents the local pastor’s wife happened to be the town physician. So he knew a bit about how to help with injuries. He helped me stand and we concluded it was sprains with the most damage on my left foot. We all packed up in our rental car and left immediately. We bought myself an ankle brace and the next day was set aside for sight seeing since we had finished the VBS. I walked with two twisted ankles for HOURS. That night we drove back to Salt Lake City in Utah where we had flown in from. We got into our hotel rooms and I was first on the shower roster for me and the girls I was sharing a room with. I went into the bathroom and took my shoes off only to find them so swollen and bruised. I thought “I’m probably being dramatic.” And took a shower. After I was dressed, I came out and asked the girls what they thought. They immediately FREAKED out at the sight, insisted I sit down and elevate, two left to get me ice, and the other convinced me to text photos of my feet to my college pastor (something I never thought I’d have to say). My college pastor responded with “Welp. Looks like we aren’t walking around salt lake before our flight tomorrow!” So my second flight (my return home) ended with me being in a wheelchair at the airport and my college pastor admitting that in all his mission trips with students he’d never had to wheel one through an airport lol. We got priority seating though and we made it back home safe! It took about two weeks at home of elevation and ice, but I healed up well!
Oh no! :'D I'm glad you were able to heal just fine after all that! Good that your classmates were so helpful and caring when they saw your injury as well; that would've sucked for much longer to keep walking on, I'm sure. Good job turning an unpleasant situation into a fun story; I think you have a good skill with storytelling! :)
Two months after I moved to Japan, I got that phone call too. Hugs for you both. I also had a pretty awful time in the UK. The details aren't particularly funny to relate, but there was this one moment during an awful bus ride that I remember fondly. I looked down at a newspaper someone had tossed on the floor, and spotted the headline, "Geologists : Brittan will disappear beneath the ocean," and I was filled with a warm, golden glow of happiness that still remains with me today.
I went 1 week to both Japan and South Korea earlier this year with my sister. As we landed in Tokyo, I started losing my voice which forced my sister to practice her Japanese at a pharmacy right off the bat. Midway through our Japan trip, i sprained my ankle (which is very practical in Tokyo where all you do is basically walk RIP). And midway through our SK trip, i got food poisoning as well ; - ; I'm sorry for your loss. Sending love ❤
@Emirichu ill do you one better, we went to benidorm and the fucking bathroom didn't have a locked door, it was a door of opaque glass, so yeah, fucking benidorm
@@EmirichuThankfully, we stayed overnight at Kawaguchiko and went to an onsen so I got to rest my foot but not before we unceremoniously had to run through Shinjuku station to catch our bus to get there (again super helpful for my sprain 🥲)
This is the story on how I learned to book hotels ahead of time I was driving home to Texas from Oregon and planned to stop in Wyoming but apparently there were no open hotels in Wyoming Colorado or New Mexico so I just ended up driving home with zero sleep from 2 days strait
My worst travel experience was when I was late for a connecting flight because my first flight was late, I was planning on getting food in-between flights because my second one would be over 8 hours long and had no dinner or lunch service. I didn't get the food and I was almost doubled over with hunger pains by the time I got to my destination. I'm just glad my uncle was willing to make me some eggs.
My condolences. Heard about you through the YT animator circles for a few years and decided to check out your stuff tonight. Sending love yalls way so you may healthily cope through this loss. You have each other. That helps a lot. Not for nothing from a nobody 2 months after this was posted but the 'healing' process is real. All the best. Peace.
When you mentioned that all of the little things did not matter anymore that hit like a bullet . It made me wonder if I am stressing too much about little things that I end up missing the things that matter the most in the long run. Makes feel that I just need focus on a few important things at a time instead of trying to do everything. Anyway I hope Daidus gets a hug and I wish the best for his family.
Girl. I feel this story in my soul. I got married last month and we went to Charleston, SC for our honeymoon. I got a UTI and spent one whole plane ride in the bathroom trying not to cry from pain. Then my new husband got sick as well with some kind of sinus infection/cold. Finally, we got a call that his Grandpa had passed away. Thankfully we didn't have to deal with sketchy hotels or bed bugs, but I feel y'all on the rest. Hang in there. I hope things start moving in a positive direction for you two.
My brother fell down an escalator as a baby and almost cracked his skull. He wasn't crying, just staring. Blood was all over the place. I was scared More scared than shit.
Honestly, at least it's a cold whethered country. Not a tropical one, so....maybe not cockroaches or scorpions? Of course the blood-sucking sort is unsanitary as well since It puts you in contact strangers's blood related pathogens. But mosquitos are basically the same, so I'd take bedbugs over cockroaches in a hearbeat If I really had to choose
Damn, that last part hit hard. I almost started tearing up for real, I'm really glad you kept it in though. It's encouraging to know I'm not alone in feeling like things continuously pile up only for what seems like the worst to happen. Much love to you and Daidus
My worst travel story technically isn't mine its my brother's. But it was when he was little and we were all living together so... Oh and its also got bed bugs! It was summer a few years back and during this time of the year my family would do a lot of sleepovers for the kids as a way for the family to spend more time with each other. My brother was going over to my Aunt's house to have a sleep over with her son and a few of our other cousins. This was one of the few times the sleep overs were at her place as usually my mom was the one who hosted them (usually unwillingly because my Aunt would just show up with her son and a suitcase). My brother was just supposed to spend the night there, go to a local amusement park in the morning, and then come home. All those things happened and my brother came home happy as can be. My mom and I noticed he had some bumps on his arm and thought some mosquitos had gotten him. We set him up with some allergy meds (because everyone in my house is allergic to bug bites of any kind) and things continued on as normal. That was until that night. I woke up because I could hear someone crying in the bathroom, it was my brother. I got up to ask him what was wrong and I saw he was covered in so many new bites. And by the time morning came around my second brother who shared a room with him was also COVERED in bites. My mom pulled the sheets off, washed them, gave my brothers more medicine and thought that was it. Next morning MORE BITES. My mom then called my Aunt to see if she knew what was going on and she responded, "Oh yeah! [Cousin's name] has bed bugs. I forgot to tell you." We had to throw away my brothers' mattresses because they were infested, had to inspect every single one of their clothes, had to take my brothers to the doctor for treatment because of just how many bites they had, and my Aunt never once apologized. The sleepovers stopped after that.
My worst flying experience was thinking it would be a good idea to fly from East Coast Canada to West Coast California for 3 days during American Thanksgiving... also my day flying back home I kept throwing up due to little food, period, stress and motion sickness. You really know it's bad when the flight has landed and your waiting in the aisle and you have to quickly ask/motion to the people in the other row to give their barf bag.
As someone who also lost a receipt by a massive gust of wind, I know that stressful feeling. I legit had to parkour over a large fence just to get it. Hoping your future travels won’t be as miserable as this one.
i went on vacation for 10 days in greece, just to get covid on day 1 and continue being sick until we had to fly back. I have yet to know how greece looks like outside of the airport to hotel travel. Also lost my sense of smell and couldn't taste anymore for the next 1 month, so i couldnt taste any food either *cry*
I’m an American. I traveled all over Europe for a couple weeks last month and while I loved the experience, I DESPISED the air travel. Being in one place for longer than 3 hours, being physically and mentally sick/exhausted for several days due to jet lag, and going through security numerous times (we took a plane four times during the trip) were miserable. Heck, i was shocked (and a little concerned) that getting through airport security in Texas was easier than any of the countries I entered in Europe. I got stopped by Airport security twice: first time because I was a doof and forgot to remove my liquids and electronics and second time because a *literal bag of marbles* tripped the Xray as some kind of dangerous object. Surprisingly (as well as concerning), getting back into the US was literally answering a question and flashing my passport. Maybe it’s because I’m a US citizen, Texas is more lenient, or because I came directly from the UK after passing security twice, but that felt way too easy compared to everything else. Man did I love traveling through Europe, but flying was not at all fun.
The last bit of the video hit me hard, having experienced some of the most hellish travel after a massive loss. I hope you and Daidus are doing alright and I hope you're taking care. My worst travel experience by far was to Singapore. We were traveling to a funeral after losing a beloved family member, and our hearts were heavy, but the universe decided to mess with us even further by delaying our flights three times. We initially were supposed to have a layover at Narita Airport and then fly into Singapore, but our flight to Japan got canceled after the airline made us wait in the airport for 14 hours. To add insult to injury, they made us board twice before taking us off the plane and telling us there would be more delays. Amidst all of this we were calling relatives and trying to deal with funeral preparations, so we were absolutely dead inside. The next flight we got was at 4 in the morning the next day, so we briefly stayed with a friend and barely got time to sleep before we flew out to Japan. Then, upon finally arriving in Narita, we were informed that our flight to Singapore was delayed and then canceled. At this point, we were grieving and exhausted, and couldn't understand the language which made it difficult to figure out how to proceed. We ran around the airport trying to figure out how to get a new flight to Singapore and finally found an English-speaking staff to translate. My mother broke down and explained our situation, and after the staff translated, the lady at the desk we were at suddenly started crying. We were taken aback by how sudden it was, but she was very kind and empathetic towards us and helped us to find the next flight, even taking us to the terminal. That was a gesture of kindness that I'll always remember. After over 24 straight hours of travel, we finally, somehow, made it to Singapore. I'll never forget that entire travel ordeal, and to this day, I still get slight PTSD when I see a flight delay. Somehow though, the pure bad timing and bad luck of everything made for a story that we could look back and laugh on. In the moment, it was awful and frankly traumatizing, but the kindness we received from strangers during a rough time is a reminder of how good people can be.
@@EmirichuWishing you guys all the best and many better travels in the future! Your uploads have brought me so much happiness for years, and it means so much to me that you saw this
I recently lost my grandpa than one week after the funeral my childhood dog suddenly declined and had to be out down. Life likes to be beat you sometimes but it gets easier. Luckily, all my travel experiences have been great but as an Aussie, the amount of bedroom spiders, and even a snake once, is not fun!
Maybe it was his mother or a family pet? I could be wrong considering his dad told me, maybe it was a brither or someone else instead. Either way still sad
Our plane from egypt to lithuania had to leave at like 6pm. We boarded the plane at the right time, and left at 2am. That's right. The flight got delayed while we were inside, and it was very fun sitting in a plane for 8 hours just waiting for it to leave the airport. It was also at the start of the pandemic, so when we finally arrived home, we had to sit for another 2 hours so some officials at the airport can "determine if we're healthy" for whatever reason.
It's so sad to hear about your loss. Your panels and drawings already seem to be giving an idea of what has happened. I hope I am wrong but I hope you guys recover from this.
@@ultimategamereditsclearly a family member passing as it was his dad trying to get ahold of him and Emi said it was “a sudden loss.” We should respect their wishes, though, as Emi stated they don’t wish to share the details. Daidus deserves the privacy and time to adjust just like anyone else (not saying anyone in this specific thread is being pushy, but just a general reminder that it’s not “clues” being shared, but small looks into the deeply private and personal lives of especially Daidus).
The airports straight up terrify me. I'm always worried that I'll have my stuff stolen, or the crippling anxiety that I'll miss the flight entirely. It is a massive struggle.
My worst travel experience was when I was flying back from university and had a really bad experience with air pressure on the plane. I have pretty damn good hearing and my ears are so sensitive to pressure changes that just driving downhill can make my ears pop, so the pressure changes on planes is always painful. But this time around it was on another level and even though I was using multiple techniques to reduce it, the pain felt like my head was being crushed on a hydraulic press. I came pretty close to blacking out, and apparently looked bad enough for an attendant to ask me if I was okay. I managed to get through it but I was in pain for days afterwards, and it took almost 2 weeks before I finally felt normal again.
I’m glad I’m not crazy for experiencing excruciating pain from air pressure changes in an airplane. I have a solution: barometric / air pressure ear plugs! They’re funky-looking ear plugs that look like layers of silicon discs. They allow the air pressure changes to occur more gradually and prevent the air pressure from causing so much pain. They’re a life saver!
S/o to Sydney for helping Emily and daidus’s trip a tad bit easier. I had a similar trip with WAYY too many bumps along the way: security holding us up for no damn reason while our flight was like in 5 freakin minutes, almost throwing up on the plane because of the food and too much Starbucks, car rental problems, finding our hotel room problems, finding where the hotel is, finding places to eat because everywhere was always full, and legit so much more. Condolences to your guys’ loss and let’s hope if ever, your next trip is easier 🕊️❤️
I think the worst travel experience I had was being unable to sleep during a midnight flight from Hawaii to my hometown in Canada when I was in high school. I had classes the following day so I just showed up extremely sleep deprived and out of whack for the classes. I was told by my teachers later that week that it was so bad that they all collectively agreed to send me home early for the day since I couldn't focus.
I can empathize with this story alot right now, my father just passed away and traveling back home was super rough. Paid $170 for a carryon bag and had a horrible time while I was back in my hometown. I was so happy when I finally got back home.
Condolences to Daidus for his loss. By Emily’s request, here’s my worst travel experience! I don’t get to travel very much, and as such, I’ve only been on about two trips that require plane flight, this particular trip was from my state, to Oregon, and back, with a layover flight on the way back. The trip to Oregon went smoothly, with maybe one minor hiccup, and me getting lost in the airport, but other than that I had an amazing time visiting family and seeing Oregon. Shit hit the fan on the way back. My trip was during winter break, so naturally it was very cold, but something I didn’t anticipate was a borderline blizzard happening on my way home. Shockingly, my first flight wasn’t delayed, we got to the Texas airport for my layover on time, but the problem was trying to get OFF the plane. During flight the plane’s wings were frozen over, and they needed to thaw them before it could fly again. For some reason, they made everyone stay on board during this process, and because my layover was only about 10-20 minutes, I was getting a little antsy, especially considering I had never been to this airport by myself. When we were finally let off, I started sprinting through the airport with my carry on, hoping I would make it in time for my connecting flight. I got a notification on my phone on the way to the gate, informing me that I was late, and I kinda just collapsed in the airport not knowing how to proceed. I kinda just sat on the floor until I heard an announcement over the intercoms that my layover got delayed, so I still had time to get there. I made it with maybe 2 minutes to spare! Boarding the plane I realized my phone’s battery and other devices were either dead or dying, so I was hoping there would be outlets on the plane… there were not. I knocked out on the plane with no form of communication, and when I finally got to my destination, I couldn’t contact the people picking me up until AFTER I got my luggage from baggage claim. It wasn’t as bad of a situation that it could have been, but it was still very stressful 😅
Wow, that is SO lucky! I could just feel the devastation when you said you were informed you were late. But then your layover got delayed, wow. That's so insanely lucky.
This video is the definition of "And nothing can go wrong. OH NO! IT ALL WENT WRONG!" But wow. You guys had it hard. Also, props to Sydney and Garnt for being your guardian angels this trip.
Straight up bedbugs can seriously be traumatizing and a lot of people have sleep problems and ptsd from those little bastards for a long time afterwards. I'm so sorry you dealt with them while traveling that's the absolute worst!
Hey! I’m so sorry for your loss Daidus. None of this is your fault, and I send my condolences. I don’t really have any terrible traveling experiences because I don’t travel that much, but I’m under the age of 18, so I’m always traveling with my family. My parents.. aren’t on the best terms and always find ways to argue with each other. Family trips start with arguments, have arguments in between, and end in arguments. It’s exhausting and always ruins the trip for me no matter how much I should be used to it because it sort of happens a lot. I’m a sensitive person when it comes to this stuff because it used to be so much worse a few years ago when I wasn’t even 10 years old. They would throw things at each other and stay at hotels for the night etc. now even threatening a divorce is normal for them. This happens on almost every trip, so if it counts, I would consider it my worst traveling experience. Again, I’m so sorry for all the shit that happened.. it sucks so much that a trip like this that was supposed to be super fun ended up so stressful, frustrating, and saddening in all sorts of ways. I’m glad that you guys are doing okay now, and I’m so sorry for all that happened- bed bugs and food poisoning sucks.. and of course Daidus’s loss. Unrelated, but keep up the good work you guys! I want to mention how good and cool your animations are, and how much better they’ve gotten!! I wish you the best! ❤
I am so sorry that this happened to you and Daidus, Emily. It couldn’t be any worse than my own worst traveling experience which I never told any of my closest friends but I can at least tell it to you,: So in July of this year, my parents and I decided to go to Marbella, Spain for vacation and we were so excited for it, despite how much airports and the traveling process is extremely over stimulating. So after we arrived to Spain, we were completely jet lagged, tired and extremely hungry. When we made it to our hotel, our room wasn’t ready yet and we had to wait at least 3 or 4 hours so my dad decided to take us out to lunch. And one of the biggest mistakes we made was leaving our luggage in our rented car while we ate at the restaurant. By the time we were about to head back to our hotel, we noticed that the window of the backseat of our rented car was shattered and ALL of our luggage, including my dad’s laptop, my old iPad, my headphones, my sketchbook, my stuffed animal, my mom’s favorite accessories, gifts and my new clothes were ALL stolen!!! We called the police and tried to find the thieves, but to no avail… Similarly to what Sydney said when first arriving to London I said, “what a way to start our vacation!!” My mom was panicking, I was trying to stay calm and my dad continued to convince the police and the owner of the restaurant to keep finding the thieves and tracking their vehicle but nothing. After 5 hours of waiting and trying to resolve this horrible situation, we eventually gave up, rented a different car and returned to our hotel empty handed. And don’t worry, we still had our wallets, passports and phones, but we lost EVERYTHING. We had to shop for some hair products, skin products, clothes, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpastes, suitcases, shoes etc. This experience slowly took a toll on me and I started crying in my sleep while sleeping with my mom too since I didn’t want to sleep alone. Despite what happened we still continued on with our trip and regardless of what happened, we still had an amazing time and we even got to visit my aunt and her family in Italy! But minus our experience, because of the recent jet lags from our connecting flights I was getting easily tired, stressed and weaker and I wanted nothing but to scream and cry but throughout three weeks of my life while in Europe, I held it all in, but by the time me and my dad and arrived back to the states after our trip (my mom stayed for one more week to spent more time with my aunt) and finding out our large suitcases wouldn't be arriving to the states in a few days, I couldn’t handle it anymore. Tears started melting down my face and I started crying like a grown a$$ baby. I started having a complete meltdown and complaining how traveling sucks, how much I hate it and airports are so absurd, etc. But, after all this I managed to calm down and recovered and me and my family pulled through. After the trip I had to do a lot of shopping, finding the hair/skin products and clothes that were similar to the ones they were stolen and I even had to wait two whole months to get a new iPad and a new set of headphones! Most of the clothes that were new and my favorites were neither in the shops or online anymore because either they were out of stock or sold out. Sooooo yeah that was probably one of the worst traveling experiences that me and my family ever had but what’s important is that we’re all ok, safe and sound. I’m planning on taking a one or two year break from traveling after the experience, though I still want to go to Japan but I think I can wait a little bit longer on that. Again Emily, Daidus, I’m sorry about your UK experience and Daidus I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you both. We love you 💕❤🙏🏼
My condolences to Daidus. I'm sorry that all this happened to the both of you. I wish I could be friends with you so that I can be there for you. You guys deserve better than this.
I’m so sorry for y’all’s loss, I hope y’all are doing alright! Hopefully this will give you guys a laugh. When I was little my mom, my older brother, and I were waiting in an airport for our flight, I have a tendency to burp very loud and with a whole lot of gusto (like seriously it’s either an explosion or I sound like a growling animal there is no in between) so we were just chilling when one snuck up on me, a big one, like my mom looked at me in horror because of how intense it was. I being the child raised with manners that I was immediately said “excuse me!” (Note I was a small girl, like no one would have assumed I was the source of the explosive burp) and I wasn’t aware three random strangers had turned to investigate the source. A lady yells out “oh! I thought my brother was behind me!” Cue laughter on all sides while I sit there mildly embarrassed but mostly laughing because everyone else is laughing. That was well over 15 years ago and my brother still makes the joke when I burp: “The TSA just flinched” 😂
My worst traveling experience was the short trip from Dallas, TX to New York. By car. It’s over a day long one way, so stress was high, even before getting in, as we all knew what was coming. My mom packed some sandwiches beforehand for us to eat, so we didn’t have to waste money on the trip. We were supposed to get up at 5am to start on our trip in the minivan, but that never goes well, so we woke up at 7am instead. Then we started driving. About 2 hours into the trip we had to stop for gas, which was convenient because I really needed to pee. Now, when I tell you this was the most *disgusting* bathroom, I mean it. For a bit of visualization, there wasn’t *just* shit smears on the wall, but a solid egg plopped in the urinal. And on the ground. I decided to hold it in until we made our next stop, since I was the only one who needed to go, and I knew kids couldn’t hold their bladders that long (estimated another hour or so). Turns out, that was a mistake, we got stuck in traffic. There was a huge pileup that came out of nowhere so it was standstill, I mean it took us an hour to get past it. At this point I was about to burst, so once we got to our next stop, I went into the bathroom and- *it was locked*. You’ve gotta be kidding me. There were a few other options for my pee break but that just felt like a tiny jab, considering my bladder was bigger than my stomach at that point. Speaking of, it was finally time to dig in to some of the sandwiches. I ate around 3 and was feeling pretty good. About an hour later, I started to feel a bit nauseous, and then I threw up in the backseat. Little background info here: there were 3 kinds of sandwiches my mom prepared: ham, turkey, and chicken. I chose the ham, and my brothers chose the other two. Guess what the *only type that was bad was?* that’s right, it was the *fucking ham*. We wouldn’t know that it was food poisoning until we got back from the trip, though, so my mom assumed it was a storage problem and threw all of them away. With an empty stomach and a terrible smelling backseat with the most minimal amount of cleaning two tired parents and elementary school kids could do, we continued. It went pretty well for a while, with minimal traffic. Since I puked in the backseat, we had to get a hotel instead of sleeping in the car, which was the original plan. We go into the hotel, and they were really nice and gave us a room even though it was past the time we were supposed to. We get into our rooms, and slept well the whole night. Then, it was back on the road again. We ran out of gas again and had to stop, and this time, the bathrooms were okay, but something happened that put our trip to a standstill. My mom lost her card. She had to cancel it and use cash, so it wasn’t a big deal just then. We finally make it, where we have to sleep since it was already dark outside, but it was super freaking hot up there, the AC had to have been on at least 85. Turns out, that was exactly the case. My stupid brother turned it up super high and said “it’s cold up north, so you turn up the heat to cancel it out!” It was summer. The trip back was alright and if you don’t wanna read allat here’s *TLDR:* gas station bathroom had shit everywhere, I got food poisoning, mom lost her debit card, I slept in sweltering heat, and we wasted a lot of money.
Round of applause to Sydney, the MVP of the whole trip
2 assists from Sydney!! 😊
Also gotta love how Emily’s art style can even make the Queen of Degeneracy look as wholesome as a K-On character
And Garnt dont forget him
literally
At first, I thought that said "Round of applesauce" lol.
I thought this was going to be a silly story about that one time everything went comically wrong but that last part hit me like a truck. It really puts into perspective how much we take for granted. My condolences.
when she said bite, I knew. I've had them in our city apartment and cried. Also you get PTSD afterwards that they are still there even though you had an exterminator and heated all your clothes and items
@@arex9000broo I'm in school and in my campus room, it was a bed bug galore 😭, I'm down bunk and it mostly affected me because there were like more than ten when I got of the bed in the middle of the night and turned on the light to see them crawling around, they fr gave me ptsd and honestly they make mosquitoes look like saints 😭🙏🏾
I agree.
the 'problems' that we face can be insignificant with a twist in events or a sudden loss.
time stops, your thoughts just stands still even your blood refuses to flow in your veins.
and the worst or best part is you may never know if such a thing could happen tomorrow or 5 years later.
I know I kinda drag this too much but this was my default mindset ever since 2016: the year I bounced back from a long period of depression. everything was feeling so great I was afraid to lose it once again.
@mehmetgurdal They're still valid problems, more piled on, as if it wasn't aggravating enough for them or you, suddenly some extra hurt crushes us downwards. It was worth processing the emotions the whole way through, as she aptly put it near the end, "I still don't like traveling." Glad you're doing better, by the way!
Aye, traumatic events/if it is/was what I think it was it is truly one of the most challenging moments we humans can go through, whether we are alone or not. It may be inevitable, and we may run from it, due to how heavy of a topic/conversation it is, but still it is something we can never truly prepare for until it happens to us, we may think we will be fine and/or be able to handle it, then bam the news hits us and we end up handling in a way we never intended.
Tomorrow is never a 'given' for any one of us, nor are we capable of knowing when the last time we will ever speak to a loved one, and even if we know it, and we think we prepare for it, later on we may think of something we missed or something we think we should of.... could've... would have said if we could only have one more second with a loved one. Regret and the not knowing be it the knowledge of the last day, or simply just not knowing what to say, or how to say it, is something that is immensely difficult to navigate.
As Ege said, my condolences indeed, I hope we all can find someone or the will power to keep going after a traumatic event, albeit I know that is much easier said than done, as our minds will be weighed down with many a thought.
"I bet you're not scared of driving..."

Don't ever tell Emily "Goodnight, don't let the bed bugs bite" Cause she's never going to sleep after that

This was my fam and me during September. Without the food poisoning. It was mostly great!
It’s all perspective. They had crappy rooms but a friend was able to help them twice. They went to two anime cons. Seems they have friends to be there for them and support them. It could have been worse. Maybe God made it a better for them. Idk if anyone believes in him, but some should try to look at it in a different perspective. Also Daidus had food poisoning, but ate a lot of amazing food. The world isn’t perfect. Stuff will happen.

To be fair the Brighton one wasn't bad, it just happened to coincide with the bed bugs saga.
As a fellow victim of the nasty little bloodsuckers, I feel your pain. Literally. Even after I threw out my mattress, deep cleaned ALL the laundry and linens, had the house professionally fumigated and bought a new mattress, I STILL find myself panicking over every little itch thinking they’re back.
You and me both. A friend of mine once gave me a bed bug. Thankfully I was having an insomnia attack when it decided to come out and I extra extra killed it.
I'm so glad I got it before it had the chance to reproduce.
Oof I feel bad for you
eeughh this is why im horrrified of them
Don't buy mattresses from John Lewis.
College student in Viet Nam, military training for 1 month on a military camp, insects, lot of insects, it kind of fun... until bed bugs come to my bed, oh boy idk it was bed bug for 3 days, the pain is so real.
I don’t want to dwell on the negative, but what a truly horrible time to receive that kind of news, when there’s absolutely no reprieve for hours on end. I’m glad to hear you guys are doing better! Lots of love!
To share in a terrible travel storie!! I think my personal worst was also an international flight! For context, I’ve got some intense food/texture sensitivity. On this particular return trip, I was hit back to back to back with in flight meals that had textures I just couldn’t stomach, so I couldn’t eat them at all. Then the time between flights was so tight that we had to sprint through the airport, absolutely no time to grab anything else to eat. By the time I got to my last flight, I had been up so absurdly long, and I was so nauseous, I almost passed out right after we took off. A ton of the flight attendants rushed over to move me to the back of the plane where I could lay down, and someone brought me a chicken sandwich that i was actually able to eat. It probably wasn’t actually that delicious, but it was such a godsend in the moment that I have dreams about getting to eat it again! It’s got real healing properties in my memory, nothing else compares.
OMG! Hi June! I love your videos!
Sorry, I just never had been able to be the first to comment on one of my favorite creators comments before (usually they have hundreds of replies by the time I see them and they’re all “hi”s and “I love your videos” and now I understand why, I can’t really think of anything else to say at the moment 😅).
I’m gonna leave my own bad travel story comment in the main section now cuz I just thought of one lol.
Just wanna say you’re awesome! Have an amazing day/night!
Oh my god i hate that "nausea-from-sleep-deprivation" feeling 😭 ALWAYS at airports for some reason!!
That must have been rough, but at least the kindness came back at you at the end
Can I hug you both from here on the comments? 🥺 I’m sorry you guys had a terrible time and we’re all deeply sorry for your lost
Ugh! Hope you and Emily’s next travels are more pleasant :)
I ignored this video initially because I thought it was another UA-camr complaining about the luxury of traveling, I was thinking “it’s truly a privilege to fly and do this for a living, so why complain about it?” But watching this all the way through made my heart break, Daidus, I hope all is good man, I know Emily says y’all are okay but losing someone is a pain that never really leaves, I’ve lost people in the past that have left scars on me, so please take care of yourself.
I went from never flying to having to fly every week for work for years, and both things can be true. It's a miracle and a luxury compared to having to drive or take a ship, for sure. Being able to board a plane on one side of the world and appear 13 hours later thousands of miles away is great.
... but airlines have made it as horrible as they're allowed, to the point that literally the government is having to step in and tell them things like "Passengers have legs, plan for that. You're not allowed to drug people. You can't stack them like cordwood. If people don't have room to flex their muscles, they will get blood clots and die." In 2005, the 737s being flown had 5 seats in a row, total seating for 108 to 130 people and it was tolerable. You had enough room, it was like sitting in someone else's worn out living room chair. In 2024, a 737 now has 6 seats in a row, and "fits" 200 people in about the same space. When I have to fly somewhere, my shoulders don't fit in the seat space, and I sit twisted for 3-4 hours, landing with horrible back pains just trying to stay out of my neighbor's space. No, "Comfort plus" seats don't fix that, it's $60 more for the same exact seat but with 4 more inches of legroom. First class is better, but a first class flight to Tokyo or Sydney is ~$16,000. Business class is ~$8k.
You can fit a lot more cows in the truck on the way to the slaughterhouse if you cram them in a with a bulldozer. It's not pleasant for the ones who make the trip, but the ones in the field can tell themselves how much nicer it is than walking.
The last two trips I've taken inside the continental US, I've looked at how far to drive, or if there's a train available rather than flying on our domestic airlines. Unfortunately 3 hours by plane vs 22 hours by train on the last route makes it not reasonable, but the airlines should really pay attention to the fact that people are looking for any way possible to not fly.
I can sadly relate to the loss during a long flight..
Me and my family were moving together to U.S.A last year, we had 3 seperate flights. Home country to Vietnam, Vietnam to Qatar, and finally Qatar to the U.S. As we were waiting for our last and longest flight in Qatar, our grandpa (my dad's father) died. It was a really hard blow as we were extremely close to him, especially my father. We already lost our grandma (my dad's mother, who was an angel) a few years back, and this was an extremely hard blow. It became depressing and horrible when we were trying to be so optimistic about this change in our lives. Condolences to Daidus, you and the loved one.
im so sorry for your loss😔

The moment Emily mentioned waking up in the middle of the night with "itchy bites on my arm",
I immediately thought: "Oh no! Not that!... ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!"😰😱
Because I knew EXACTLY what those bites were from!

I really can’t stand the thought of them existing
@@hhhhhhhhh1071 I feel ya! I actually avoided a Bed Bug infestation a long time ago, thanks to one of my colleagues warning me about the movie theatre I had my eyes on for Godzilla vs Kong. Had I gone to that theatre, I could have brought those little bastards home with me, and not even know it! Spoilers: I never went to that theatre, and instead streamed the movie at home.
@@nine_tails137fuck why did you have to say that I went to a movie theatre today
@@hhhhhhhhh1071 Well, if it makes you feel any better, This specific theatre was in Edmonton, AB. Based on some screen shots, the floor had black and white checkered tiles, giving it a very old-fashioned look from the 80s. And my friend told me that specific theatre has had bed bugs quite frequently.
Also, I've been visiting movie theatres for over a decade, and every time I've found ZERO bed bugs. Which is most likely due to how well maintained the theatres in my area are.
That trip was FOUL. It's like the universe joined just to give you guys a big rollercoaster (with mostly downs) of a trip. I hope you recover greatly.

I’m sorry for your loss daidus. Hope you’re doing alright
What happened
@@privatezhang1146it’s likely his dad or mom died
@@aerickmon3350 his dad was the one who messaged him so most likely his mom or a family friend. it's very sad to know, and i'm sorry for their loss
has he mentioned anything about it? Does he make videos?@@just_a_random_student
I'm so sorry guys. Hopefully Daidus is healing and taking all the time he needs
I can literally feel the pain behind Emi's story here, the painful experience of travelling is barely tolerable. The worst travelling experience you could normally get is when you get sick during the travel, and this happened to me by a lot.
Look on the bright side. At least you didn't die!
Sad
I've never really had negative traveling experiences other than getting sick, which is standard as you build your immune system
😅

I’m so sorry for your loss Daidus. You two really didn’t deserve this. Sending you lots of love

ok
I'm so sorry for your loss. Since you requested worst travel stories, I'll give two. First is my worst 'not fun' story, which was having a full-blown panic attack traveling back home from the USA.
I paid for a window seat and got right in the middle row, in the middle of the plane (I get travel sick, so that was a concern), I was sandwiched between two people so I couldn't reach my meds (I struggle to deal with strangers at the best of times) and I was traveling away from my best friend and only real family I have. I felt sick, I struggled to breathe and it took all my power to get to the restroom. The moment I did, I had a very audible panic attack. Next thing i remember, one of the staff have pulled me away, gave me water and handed me a bag to take my meds. They weren't anxiety med, they were anti-sickness meds, but they did evoke drowsiness. They had nowhere else for me to go (I was ready to lay on the floor for the whole trip, but I knew that couldn't happen) so I was moved back to my seat where I slept for half the trip and remained catatonic for the rest of it. Also my foot was fucked and needed help moving around. They provided a wheelchair, but dumped me on the wrong side of the airport and took the wheelchair away. That sucked. I was the last to get off my final connecting flight and the metal wheelchair this airport had prepared was left in the hot, summer sun for 15 minutes. First time I ever got sun burnt from a wheelchair.
The 'fun' story was a domestic flight. I figured since the flight was only an hour that I didn't need to bother with ginger or meds, so I took neither. I started feeling sick ten minutes in, but the people traveling with me kept telling me that I was fine and that I had nothing to complain about. I was breathing like I was ready to give birth by the end. The lady at the end told everyone else to have a good day, but she took one look at my pale face and asked if I was going to faint. I told her that I was about five seconds away from spewing and I was quickly sat and given water, so I could have time to settle. The people with me were definitely sheepish for the rest of the day, that was sure.
I hope your traveling in the future is better than those. Those seemed pretty bad both times and being sick isn't nice. Virtual hugs if you want them 🤗
@@Lilywily143 🤗 Thanks. I haven't traveled much since these occurred both on 2019 and 2020, but here's hoping next year. If it makes you feel any better, the trip to the USA was down-right magical for the first third. Mainly cus' I had a window seat and I love watching the top of clouds. When you can see the top, sometimes, they look like the outlines of magical words that aren't remotely possible in reality.
Hey Em, here's some advice for you when it comes to ANY bugs, but in this case bedbugs: Carry peppermint oil!
No seriously. My dads job had a bed bug issue, and he wanted to find natural ways to repel them (Didn't want to flood his locker with a chemical smell of bug repellants.) and he found out that peppermint oil was a VERY good repellant due to it's strong smell. Especially since, not only does it repel insects, but it can also kill them too! Ever notice how bugs have a shiny coating on them? That coating keeps them hydrated. The oil destroys that coating, so the bugs become un-alived via dehydration. So if you or Daidus ever decide to travel in the future, and are REALLY concerned about staying in a hotel for fear of bedbugs, try to carry a spray bottle filled with the stuff. You'll all smell minty, and the bugs will piss off, or meet God!
EDIT: Also, I'm so sorry to hear about how god awful it was for you and Daidus all the way until the end. If you ever decide to travel again in the future, I hope your trip then won't even be anywhere NEAR 1/10th of a pain this trip was.
Thank you, very, much for giving this knowledge away for free sir. Mint is amazing anyways so it is just an excuse to have more of it lol.
Which is why I carry peppermint oil everywhere I go on my keychain
Syd and Garnt being the old married couple carried the trip
Holy fuck, can the universe give Emi a break already? That's just hell to hear, let alone experience it. Ay, Emi, you may not notice this but you've got my eternal support, you wholesome, graceful lady.
Bro if you come to the UK expect the universe to hate you it get easier I swear 🤪🤯😵
Feels a bit like Marvel and Spider-man
the world is hell to everybody not just Emi ..i hope she's alright now after what she had experienced
@@zainebhidoussi1498 True. Just talking about Emi in this scenario. Ofc, to those who continue to suffer especially Palestinians, may they get the justice they deserve.
@@djaxeman2424 Amen
The bed bugs have been an epidemic in the UK, they came over from France during the Rugby World Cup.
My condolences to whoever Daidus lost.
As a gentleman from England I'm sorry you and Daidus had a rough time with hotels, bed bugs and the food poisoning none of should have happened and Daidus sorry about the sudden loss in the family it's not easy but stay strong for yourself and the people who loves you.
P.S Yogurt really helped me with food poisoning.
I blame you, not the U.K. just you specifically.

“So you’re saying there’s still a chance?”
This sums it up perfectly, personally speaking. The odds can be 1 in a billion, and the worry will remain because you know in the back of your head that all it takes is a bad roll of the dice, figuratively-speaking. Granted, that applies to everything; I believe we’ve magnified it with planes due to how much coverage incidents involving them get. Doesn’t quell the anxiety those of us get for flying in the end.
In short, I share the exact same sentiment, down to the letter.
Daidus really came in clutch and saved Emily from going into a spiral and probably crying thanks for that and keeping Emily from going crazy
My first trip to Japan, we had 2 small kids behind us for the whole flight. 17 hours of seat kicking, high pitched screaming and kids running around. I call it the Hell Flight.
My condolences to you both.
Reminds me of a flight to Argentina 10 years ago. Kid screaming for french fries for 3 hours!
God this makes my recent flights home from Tennessee look like a luxury private jet ride. I’m so sorry that all happened to you and Daidus :(
All valid pains and grievances worth processing. Mild? Sometimes, sure, but still hurtful to deal with.
I am so so sorry that this happened to you and Daidus. That really sucks and I am so sorry for your loss. You both need a hug. I don’t like traveling either, but it usually ends okay. My worst trip though was when my parents took my to San Diego as a Christmas present. I got air sick on the plane for the first time. When we got there I got super congested, and was coughing and struggling to make my voice heard while at Sea world watching Shamu for the last time. We went on my first whale watching expedition in the luxurious captains quarters and even after taking medications threw up minutes after the ship took off. I spent the rest of the expedition behind the ship in clothes covered in stomach acid and seeing no sea life. My mom got sick soon after me and spent the rest the trip with me. The rest the trip went alright, but when we got back in the plane ride home I got sick again. I have never been so sick on a trip before of since then.
10:28 my condolences to Darius, rest in peace misterios person that had die
As a British person from Oxford I bloomin' hope our city treated you well.
So sorry for your loss *hug*
I’m so sorry for Daidus’ loss! My aunt went through a similar situation last month. We lost our grandma when my aunt was visiting Japan. It was horrible. Take all the time you need.
My worst travel experience came from one of my best trips. I went to Costa Rica during the time of the FIFA World Cup. Everyone was super friendly, lively and happy. But I went zip lining and my shirt got stuck in the pulley that took you down to the next zip line level. The guy had to cut it off with a knife and take me down, exposing my bra to my whole extended family. I also sprained my ankle because the Airbnb had an indoor pond running through it that I forgot about when I went to get water at 3am. I was also stung by fire ants and my cousin had an allergic reaction to some gift shop chapstick. All and all I’d do the whole thing again because the vibes from the people were so great.
Oof, that first thing. That must have felt so awkward. Everything else, oof, that's painful. Glad they didn't ruin your trip though!
I like it how Emily's storytelling and drawings shifted more smooth. She's getting pretty good at storytelling, too!
I agree! I only listened to this video instead of watching it, but it was still an enjoyable experience.
ok

I’m so sorry to hear that you and Daidus had a rough trip, especially at the end… I hope Daidus is doing better! I will share my goofy travel mishap story to hopefully lighten up the mood in the comments like Emily suggested! It’s a tad long so buckle up!
This year I went on a mission trip to Wyoming with my college pastor and a few fellow students in the ministry. This was my first time flying EVER! I was so excited to spend a week in a new state! The flight there went fine and I had a blast (a good friend of mine was sitting next to me and he is a missionary kid, so my excitement about being in a plane amused him to no end). We were there to help a church in a small town with their VBS, but in-between our work at the church we did sight seeing. One morning we went to a local hunting spot and it was gorgeous. We were all a bit spread out taking photos of wildflowers and the mountains (we don’t have mountains where I live lol) and I eventually decided to get out of the field and onto the main path. But I somehow tripped in a way that sprained BOTH MY ANKLES. I immediately collapsed and cried out. The girls closest to me ran to my side and my college pastor and the pastor from the church we were serving also hurried over. Luckily for me, in this tiny town of 2000 residents the local pastor’s wife happened to be the town physician. So he knew a bit about how to help with injuries. He helped me stand and we concluded it was sprains with the most damage on my left foot. We all packed up in our rental car and left immediately. We bought myself an ankle brace and the next day was set aside for sight seeing since we had finished the VBS. I walked with two twisted ankles for HOURS. That night we drove back to Salt Lake City in Utah where we had flown in from. We got into our hotel rooms and I was first on the shower roster for me and the girls I was sharing a room with. I went into the bathroom and took my shoes off only to find them so swollen and bruised. I thought “I’m probably being dramatic.” And took a shower. After I was dressed, I came out and asked the girls what they thought. They immediately FREAKED out at the sight, insisted I sit down and elevate, two left to get me ice, and the other convinced me to text photos of my feet to my college pastor (something I never thought I’d have to say). My college pastor responded with “Welp. Looks like we aren’t walking around salt lake before our flight tomorrow!”
So my second flight (my return home) ended with me being in a wheelchair at the airport and my college pastor admitting that in all his mission trips with students he’d never had to wheel one through an airport lol. We got priority seating though and we made it back home safe! It took about two weeks at home of elevation and ice, but I healed up well!
You have gotten a world record for the longest comment
Congratulations
Oh no! :'D
I'm glad you were able to heal just fine after all that!
Good that your classmates were so helpful and caring when they saw your injury as well; that would've sucked for much longer to keep walking on, I'm sure.
Good job turning an unpleasant situation into a fun story; I think you have a good skill with storytelling! :)
Glad your ok
Sydney and Garnt were truly the Gigachads of the Gigachads during this whole experience.
They saved Emi and Dai from UK Travel Hell. They need nice Christmas gifts of "Their Favorite Things" this year :)
“Gigachads” aren’t real. Just say “someone you admire” like a normal person.
@@Jigglupuff22sshh let people say what they want
Two months after I moved to Japan, I got that phone call too. Hugs for you both.
I also had a pretty awful time in the UK. The details aren't particularly funny to relate, but there was this one moment during an awful bus ride that I remember fondly. I looked down at a newspaper someone had tossed on the floor, and spotted the headline, "Geologists : Brittan will disappear beneath the ocean," and I was filled with a warm, golden glow of happiness that still remains with me today.
Me in the UK: 👁👄👁
Ngl, if you're used to it, it doesn't really bother you LMAO
I went 1 week to both Japan and South Korea earlier this year with my sister. As we landed in Tokyo, I started losing my voice which forced my sister to practice her Japanese at a pharmacy right off the bat. Midway through our Japan trip, i sprained my ankle (which is very practical in Tokyo where all you do is basically walk RIP). And midway through our SK trip, i got food poisoning as well ; - ;
I'm sorry for your loss. Sending love ❤
That's soo sad😢
Omg how did you manage japan with a sprain?? 😭 im so sorry
@Emirichu ill do you one better, we went to benidorm and the fucking bathroom didn't have a locked door, it was a door of opaque glass, so yeah, fucking benidorm
@@EmirichuThankfully, we stayed overnight at Kawaguchiko and went to an onsen so I got to rest my foot but not before we unceremoniously had to run through Shinjuku station to catch our bus to get there (again super helpful for my sprain 🥲)
You know it's bad new when you just feel indifferent or numb to the other experience you had before
Sydney and Garnt are actually amazing friends for all of that 😭
This is the story on how I learned to book hotels ahead of time I was driving home to Texas from Oregon and planned to stop in Wyoming but apparently there were no open hotels in Wyoming Colorado or New Mexico so I just ended up driving home with zero sleep from 2 days strait
My worst travel experience was when I was late for a connecting flight because my first flight was late, I was planning on getting food in-between flights because my second one would be over 8 hours long and had no dinner or lunch service. I didn't get the food and I was almost doubled over with hunger pains by the time I got to my destination. I'm just glad my uncle was willing to make me some eggs.
I am sorry but how in the hell did they not give you any food?! How was that flight legal?!
Came for a funny and reason to hate traveling story, left with tears and praying for Daidus and his family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
8:35 How sweet of Daidus to reassure you ❤️. You two really balance each other out.
My condolences. Heard about you through the YT animator circles for a few years and decided to check out your stuff tonight. Sending love yalls way so you may healthily cope through this loss. You have each other. That helps a lot. Not for nothing from a nobody 2 months after this was posted but the 'healing' process is real. All the best. Peace.
When you mentioned that all of the little things did not matter anymore that hit like a bullet . It made me wonder if I am stressing too much about little things that I end up missing the things that matter the most in the long run. Makes feel that I just need focus on a few important things at a time instead of trying to do everything.
Anyway I hope Daidus gets a hug and I wish the best for his family.
Sorry for your loss Daidus. We all love you.
Girl. I feel this story in my soul. I got married last month and we went to Charleston, SC for our honeymoon. I got a UTI and spent one whole plane ride in the bathroom trying not to cry from pain. Then my new husband got sick as well with some kind of sinus infection/cold. Finally, we got a call that his Grandpa had passed away. Thankfully we didn't have to deal with sketchy hotels or bed bugs, but I feel y'all on the rest. Hang in there. I hope things start moving in a positive direction for you two.
My brother fell down an escalator as a baby and almost cracked his skull. He wasn't crying, just staring. Blood was all over the place. I was scared
More scared than shit.
Hotels can either be the literal best place to be on a holiday, or they can feel like your in a landfill
Honestly, at least it's a cold whethered country. Not a tropical one, so....maybe not cockroaches or scorpions? Of course the blood-sucking sort is unsanitary as well since It puts you in contact strangers's blood related pathogens. But mosquitos are basically the same, so I'd take bedbugs over cockroaches in a hearbeat If I really had to choose
@@turinmormegil7715 Yeah at least Brits don't have those around
@@averageyoutubeuser9483 I swear, a life of constant battle with those bastards makes you immune to most other bug related Inconveniences
Damn, that last part hit hard. I almost started tearing up for real, I'm really glad you kept it in though. It's encouraging to know I'm not alone in feeling like things continuously pile up only for what seems like the worst to happen. Much love to you and Daidus
Omg Me Too rip🥲

As a survivor of bedbugs, the paranoia still hits months later when you feel a clump of cotton brush your arm. You’re so real 💪🏻
My worst travel story technically isn't mine its my brother's. But it was when he was little and we were all living together so... Oh and its also got bed bugs!
It was summer a few years back and during this time of the year my family would do a lot of sleepovers for the kids as a way for the family to spend more time with each other. My brother was going over to my Aunt's house to have a sleep over with her son and a few of our other cousins. This was one of the few times the sleep overs were at her place as usually my mom was the one who hosted them (usually unwillingly because my Aunt would just show up with her son and a suitcase). My brother was just supposed to spend the night there, go to a local amusement park in the morning, and then come home. All those things happened and my brother came home happy as can be. My mom and I noticed he had some bumps on his arm and thought some mosquitos had gotten him. We set him up with some allergy meds (because everyone in my house is allergic to bug bites of any kind) and things continued on as normal. That was until that night. I woke up because I could hear someone crying in the bathroom, it was my brother. I got up to ask him what was wrong and I saw he was covered in so many new bites. And by the time morning came around my second brother who shared a room with him was also COVERED in bites. My mom pulled the sheets off, washed them, gave my brothers more medicine and thought that was it. Next morning MORE BITES. My mom then called my Aunt to see if she knew what was going on and she responded, "Oh yeah! [Cousin's name] has bed bugs. I forgot to tell you."
We had to throw away my brothers' mattresses because they were infested, had to inspect every single one of their clothes, had to take my brothers to the doctor for treatment because of just how many bites they had, and my Aunt never once apologized. The sleepovers stopped after that.
My worst flying experience was thinking it would be a good idea to fly from East Coast Canada to West Coast California for 3 days during American Thanksgiving... also my day flying back home I kept throwing up due to little food, period, stress and motion sickness. You really know it's bad when the flight has landed and your waiting in the aisle and you have to quickly ask/motion to the people in the other row to give their barf bag.
As someone who also lost a receipt by a massive gust of wind, I know that stressful feeling. I legit had to parkour over a large fence just to get it. Hoping your future travels won’t be as miserable as this one.
i went on vacation for 10 days in greece, just to get covid on day 1 and continue being sick until we had to fly back.
I have yet to know how greece looks like outside of the airport to hotel travel. Also lost my sense of smell and couldn't taste anymore for the next 1 month, so i couldnt taste any food either *cry*
I’m an American. I traveled all over Europe for a couple weeks last month and while I loved the experience, I DESPISED the air travel. Being in one place for longer than 3 hours, being physically and mentally sick/exhausted for several days due to jet lag, and going through security numerous times (we took a plane four times during the trip) were miserable.
Heck, i was shocked (and a little concerned) that getting through airport security in Texas was easier than any of the countries I entered in Europe.
I got stopped by Airport security twice: first time because I was a doof and forgot to remove my liquids and electronics and second time because a *literal bag of marbles* tripped the Xray as some kind of dangerous object.
Surprisingly (as well as concerning), getting back into the US was literally answering a question and flashing my passport. Maybe it’s because I’m a US citizen, Texas is more lenient, or because I came directly from the UK after passing security twice, but that felt way too easy compared to everything else.
Man did I love traveling through Europe, but flying was not at all fun.
The last bit of the video hit me hard, having experienced some of the most hellish travel after a massive loss. I hope you and Daidus are doing alright and I hope you're taking care. My worst travel experience by far was to Singapore. We were traveling to a funeral after losing a beloved family member, and our hearts were heavy, but the universe decided to mess with us even further by delaying our flights three times. We initially were supposed to have a layover at Narita Airport and then fly into Singapore, but our flight to Japan got canceled after the airline made us wait in the airport for 14 hours. To add insult to injury, they made us board twice before taking us off the plane and telling us there would be more delays. Amidst all of this we were calling relatives and trying to deal with funeral preparations, so we were absolutely dead inside.
The next flight we got was at 4 in the morning the next day, so we briefly stayed with a friend and barely got time to sleep before we flew out to Japan. Then, upon finally arriving in Narita, we were informed that our flight to Singapore was delayed and then canceled. At this point, we were grieving and exhausted, and couldn't understand the language which made it difficult to figure out how to proceed. We ran around the airport trying to figure out how to get a new flight to Singapore and finally found an English-speaking staff to translate. My mother broke down and explained our situation, and after the staff translated, the lady at the desk we were at suddenly started crying. We were taken aback by how sudden it was, but she was very kind and empathetic towards us and helped us to find the next flight, even taking us to the terminal. That was a gesture of kindness that I'll always remember.
After over 24 straight hours of travel, we finally, somehow, made it to Singapore. I'll never forget that entire travel ordeal, and to this day, I still get slight PTSD when I see a flight delay. Somehow though, the pure bad timing and bad luck of everything made for a story that we could look back and laugh on. In the moment, it was awful and frankly traumatizing, but the kindness we received from strangers during a rough time is a reminder of how good people can be.
This is so sweet--but god what a stressful ordeal to go through when you're already grieving 😭
Thank you so much for sharing this with me!!
@@EmirichuWishing you guys all the best and many better travels in the future! Your uploads have brought me so much happiness for years, and it means so much to me that you saw this
I recently lost my grandpa than one week after the funeral my childhood dog suddenly declined and had to be out down. Life likes to be beat you sometimes but it gets easier. Luckily, all my travel experiences have been great but as an Aussie, the amount of bedroom spiders, and even a snake once, is not fun!
Sorry for your loss Daidus. I hope you’re doing alright. ❤
Dare I ask what it was Daidus lost?
Cause I can only make guesses based on the animation Emirichu provided.
Maybe it was his mother or a family pet? I could be wrong considering his dad told me, maybe it was a brither or someone else instead.
Either way still sad
@@sgtaveryjohnson3803 Damn! I had a hunch it was a family member, but either way it still sucks.😢
@@nine_tails137 really? I was right?
@@sgtaveryjohnson3803 IDK? the video just shows a cellphone with missed calls from his dad. And Emirichu doesn't say what it is?
Our plane from egypt to lithuania had to leave at like 6pm. We boarded the plane at the right time, and left at 2am. That's right. The flight got delayed while we were inside, and it was very fun sitting in a plane for 8 hours just waiting for it to leave the airport. It was also at the start of the pandemic, so when we finally arrived home, we had to sit for another 2 hours so some officials at the airport can "determine if we're healthy" for whatever reason.
Whenever you lose somebody or something that you liked being around at times always sucks, I'm sorry for your loss, Daidus
Emirichu must be one of the most relatable persons I ever seen
It's so sad to hear about your loss. Your panels and drawings already seem to be giving an idea of what has happened. I hope I am wrong but I hope you guys recover from this.
What do you think . . .
@@nmdreams86something about their family
It had likely something to do with Daidus's family sadly. @@nmdreams86
What happened?
@@ultimategamereditsclearly a family member passing as it was his dad trying to get ahold of him and Emi said it was “a sudden loss.” We should respect their wishes, though, as Emi stated they don’t wish to share the details. Daidus deserves the privacy and time to adjust just like anyone else (not saying anyone in this specific thread is being pushy, but just a general reminder that it’s not “clues” being shared, but small looks into the deeply private and personal lives of especially Daidus).
8:29 if you were so worried about it you could have just checked the price at the mall and payed her out of pocket😅.
The airports straight up terrify me. I'm always worried that I'll have my stuff stolen, or the crippling anxiety that I'll miss the flight entirely. It is a massive struggle.
My worst travel experience was when I was flying back from university and had a really bad experience with air pressure on the plane. I have pretty damn good hearing and my ears are so sensitive to pressure changes that just driving downhill can make my ears pop, so the pressure changes on planes is always painful. But this time around it was on another level and even though I was using multiple techniques to reduce it, the pain felt like my head was being crushed on a hydraulic press. I came pretty close to blacking out, and apparently looked bad enough for an attendant to ask me if I was okay. I managed to get through it but I was in pain for days afterwards, and it took almost 2 weeks before I finally felt normal again.
I’m glad I’m not crazy for experiencing excruciating pain from air pressure changes in an airplane.
I have a solution: barometric / air pressure ear plugs! They’re funky-looking ear plugs that look like layers of silicon discs. They allow the air pressure changes to occur more gradually and prevent the air pressure from causing so much pain. They’re a life saver!
S/o to Sydney for helping Emily and daidus’s trip a tad bit easier. I had a similar trip with WAYY too many bumps along the way: security holding us up for no damn reason while our flight was like in 5 freakin minutes, almost throwing up on the plane because of the food and too much Starbucks, car rental problems, finding our hotel room problems, finding where the hotel is, finding places to eat because everywhere was always full, and legit so much more. Condolences to your guys’ loss and let’s hope if ever, your next trip is easier 🕊️❤️
To quote austrian comedian Michael Niavarani: "I like being somewhere, I just don't like going there"
I think the worst travel experience I had was being unable to sleep during a midnight flight from Hawaii to my hometown in Canada when I was in high school. I had classes the following day so I just showed up extremely sleep deprived and out of whack for the classes. I was told by my teachers later that week that it was so bad that they all collectively agreed to send me home early for the day since I couldn't focus.
the 'our team came in last but it was a lot of fun' note on emily's journal (7:03) is the most emily thing ever
I can empathize with this story alot right now, my father just passed away and traveling back home was super rough. Paid $170 for a carryon bag and had a horrible time while I was back in my hometown. I was so happy when I finally got back home.
Im so sorry ):
Daidus, Daidus family and more...my sincere condolences~. Please take all the time you guys need to process this, we understand.
Condolences to Daidus for his loss. By Emily’s request, here’s my worst travel experience!
I don’t get to travel very much, and as such, I’ve only been on about two trips that require plane flight, this particular trip was from my state, to Oregon, and back, with a layover flight on the way back. The trip to Oregon went smoothly, with maybe one minor hiccup, and me getting lost in the airport, but other than that I had an amazing time visiting family and seeing Oregon.
Shit hit the fan on the way back. My trip was during winter break, so naturally it was very cold, but something I didn’t anticipate was a borderline blizzard happening on my way home. Shockingly, my first flight wasn’t delayed, we got to the Texas airport for my layover on time, but the problem was trying to get OFF the plane. During flight the plane’s wings were frozen over, and they needed to thaw them before it could fly again. For some reason, they made everyone stay on board during this process, and because my layover was only about 10-20 minutes, I was getting a little antsy, especially considering I had never been to this airport by myself.
When we were finally let off, I started sprinting through the airport with my carry on, hoping I would make it in time for my connecting flight. I got a notification on my phone on the way to the gate, informing me that I was late, and I kinda just collapsed in the airport not knowing how to proceed. I kinda just sat on the floor until I heard an announcement over the intercoms that my layover got delayed, so I still had time to get there. I made it with maybe 2 minutes to spare! Boarding the plane I realized my phone’s battery and other devices were either dead or dying, so I was hoping there would be outlets on the plane… there were not.
I knocked out on the plane with no form of communication, and when I finally got to my destination, I couldn’t contact the people picking me up until AFTER I got my luggage from baggage claim.
It wasn’t as bad of a situation that it could have been, but it was still very stressful 😅
Wow, that is SO lucky! I could just feel the devastation when you said you were informed you were late. But then your layover got delayed, wow. That's so insanely lucky.
This video is the definition of "And nothing can go wrong. OH NO! IT ALL WENT WRONG!" But wow. You guys had it hard.
Also, props to Sydney and Garnt for being your guardian angels this trip.
Straight up bedbugs can seriously be traumatizing and a lot of people have sleep problems and ptsd from those little bastards for a long time afterwards. I'm so sorry you dealt with them while traveling that's the absolute worst!
Hey! I’m so sorry for your loss Daidus. None of this is your fault, and I send my condolences.
I don’t really have any terrible traveling experiences because I don’t travel that much, but I’m under the age of 18, so I’m always traveling with my family. My parents.. aren’t on the best terms and always find ways to argue with each other. Family trips start with arguments, have arguments in between, and end in arguments. It’s exhausting and always ruins the trip for me no matter how much I should be used to it because it sort of happens a lot. I’m a sensitive person when it comes to this stuff because it used to be so much worse a few years ago when I wasn’t even 10 years old. They would throw things at each other and stay at hotels for the night etc. now even threatening a divorce is normal for them. This happens on almost every trip, so if it counts, I would consider it my worst traveling experience.
Again, I’m so sorry for all the shit that happened.. it sucks so much that a trip like this that was supposed to be super fun ended up so stressful, frustrating, and saddening in all sorts of ways. I’m glad that you guys are doing okay now, and I’m so sorry for all that happened- bed bugs and food poisoning sucks.. and of course Daidus’s loss. Unrelated, but keep up the good work you guys! I want to mention how good and cool your animations are, and how much better they’ve gotten!! I wish you the best! ❤
I am so sorry that this happened to you and Daidus, Emily. It couldn’t be any worse than my own worst traveling experience which I never told any of my closest friends but I can at least tell it to you,:
So in July of this year, my parents and I decided to go to Marbella, Spain for vacation and we were so excited for it, despite how much airports and the traveling process is extremely over stimulating. So after we arrived to Spain, we were completely jet lagged, tired and extremely hungry. When we made it to our hotel, our room wasn’t ready yet and we had to wait at least 3 or 4 hours so my dad decided to take us out to lunch. And one of the biggest mistakes we made was leaving our luggage in our rented car while we ate at the restaurant. By the time we were about to head back to our hotel, we noticed that the window of the backseat of our rented car was shattered and ALL of our luggage, including my dad’s laptop, my old iPad, my headphones, my sketchbook, my stuffed animal, my mom’s favorite accessories, gifts and my new clothes were ALL stolen!!! We called the police and tried to find the thieves, but to no avail… Similarly to what Sydney said when first arriving to London I said, “what a way to start our vacation!!” My mom was panicking, I was trying to stay calm and my dad continued to convince the police and the owner of the restaurant to keep finding the thieves and tracking their vehicle but nothing. After 5 hours of waiting and trying to resolve this horrible situation, we eventually gave up, rented a different car and returned to our hotel empty handed. And don’t worry, we still had our wallets, passports and phones, but we lost EVERYTHING. We had to shop for some hair products, skin products, clothes, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpastes, suitcases, shoes etc. This experience slowly took a toll on me and I started crying in my sleep while sleeping with my mom too since I didn’t want to sleep alone. Despite what happened we still continued on with our trip and regardless of what happened, we still had an amazing time and we even got to visit my aunt and her family in Italy! But minus our experience, because of the recent jet lags from our connecting flights I was getting easily tired, stressed and weaker and I wanted nothing but to scream and cry but throughout three weeks of my life while in Europe, I held it all in, but by the time me and my dad and arrived back to the states after our trip (my mom stayed for one more week to spent more time with my aunt) and finding out our large suitcases wouldn't be arriving to the states in a few days, I couldn’t handle it anymore. Tears started melting down my face and I started crying like a grown a$$ baby. I started having a complete meltdown and complaining how traveling sucks, how much I hate it and airports are so absurd, etc. But, after all this I managed to calm down and recovered and me and my family pulled through. After the trip I had to do a lot of shopping, finding the hair/skin products and clothes that were similar to the ones they were stolen and I even had to wait two whole months to get a new iPad and a new set of headphones! Most of the clothes that were new and my favorites were neither in the shops or online anymore because either they were out of stock or sold out.
Sooooo yeah that was probably one of the worst traveling experiences that me and my family ever had but what’s important is that we’re all ok, safe and sound. I’m planning on taking a one or two year break from traveling after the experience, though I still want to go to Japan but I think I can wait a little bit longer on that.
Again Emily, Daidus, I’m sorry about your UK experience and Daidus I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you both. We love you 💕❤🙏🏼
My condolences to Daidus. I'm sorry that all this happened to the both of you. I wish I could be friends with you so that I can be there for you. You guys deserve better than this.
I’m so sorry for y’all’s loss, I hope y’all are doing alright!
Hopefully this will give you guys a laugh. When I was little my mom, my older brother, and I were waiting in an airport for our flight, I have a tendency to burp very loud and with a whole lot of gusto (like seriously it’s either an explosion or I sound like a growling animal there is no in between) so we were just chilling when one snuck up on me, a big one, like my mom looked at me in horror because of how intense it was. I being the child raised with manners that I was immediately said “excuse me!” (Note I was a small girl, like no one would have assumed I was the source of the explosive burp) and I wasn’t aware three random strangers had turned to investigate the source. A lady yells out “oh! I thought my brother was behind me!” Cue laughter on all sides while I sit there mildly embarrassed but mostly laughing because everyone else is laughing. That was well over 15 years ago and my brother still makes the joke when I burp: “The TSA just flinched” 😂
My worst traveling experience was the short trip from Dallas, TX to New York. By car.
It’s over a day long one way, so stress was high, even before getting in, as we all knew what was coming. My mom packed some sandwiches beforehand for us to eat, so we didn’t have to waste money on the trip. We were supposed to get up at 5am to start on our trip in the minivan, but that never goes well, so we woke up at 7am instead. Then we started driving.
About 2 hours into the trip we had to stop for gas, which was convenient because I really needed to pee. Now, when I tell you this was the most *disgusting* bathroom, I mean it. For a bit of visualization, there wasn’t *just* shit smears on the wall, but a solid egg plopped in the urinal. And on the ground. I decided to hold it in until we made our next stop, since I was the only one who needed to go, and I knew kids couldn’t hold their bladders that long (estimated another hour or so).
Turns out, that was a mistake, we got stuck in traffic. There was a huge pileup that came out of nowhere so it was standstill, I mean it took us an hour to get past it. At this point I was about to burst, so once we got to our next stop, I went into the bathroom and- *it was locked*. You’ve gotta be kidding me. There were a few other options for my pee break but that just felt like a tiny jab, considering my bladder was bigger than my stomach at that point.
Speaking of, it was finally time to dig in to some of the sandwiches. I ate around 3 and was feeling pretty good. About an hour later, I started to feel a bit nauseous, and then I threw up in the backseat. Little background info here: there were 3 kinds of sandwiches my mom prepared: ham, turkey, and chicken. I chose the ham, and my brothers chose the other two. Guess what the *only type that was bad was?* that’s right, it was the *fucking ham*. We wouldn’t know that it was food poisoning until we got back from the trip, though, so my mom assumed it was a storage problem and threw all of them away.
With an empty stomach and a terrible smelling backseat with the most minimal amount of cleaning two tired parents and elementary school kids could do, we continued. It went pretty well for a while, with minimal traffic. Since I puked in the backseat, we had to get a hotel instead of sleeping in the car, which was the original plan. We go into the hotel, and they were really nice and gave us a room even though it was past the time we were supposed to. We get into our rooms, and slept well the whole night. Then, it was back on the road again. We ran out of gas again and had to stop, and this time, the bathrooms were okay, but something happened that put our trip to a standstill. My mom lost her card. She had to cancel it and use cash, so it wasn’t a big deal just then.
We finally make it, where we have to sleep since it was already dark outside, but it was super freaking hot up there, the AC had to have been on at least 85. Turns out, that was exactly the case. My stupid brother turned it up super high and said “it’s cold up north, so you turn up the heat to cancel it out!” It was summer.
The trip back was alright and if you don’t wanna read allat here’s
*TLDR:* gas station bathroom had shit everywhere, I got food poisoning, mom lost her debit card, I slept in sweltering heat, and we wasted a lot of money.
I hope Daidus is okay, and I'm so sorry you guys had to go through such an awful travel experience.
