I think we can all agree that, although reading about easy, predictable travel experiences can be okay if you intend to have a similar one, the most entertaining travel articles are the one where things don’t go as planned. It’s true! We enjoy hearing the tales of a travel blogger who went through unexpected trials and adventures, and came out alive, much more than hearing about the Joneses’ trip to Disneyland.

So what I’ve got here for you today are seven articles from seven different sites; each one entertaining, fun, and most of all, interesting! I hope you take the time to check out every one of these thrilling reads.
