Anyone who loves traveling must have had a bitter or worst experience. My worst trip I would love to forget was during the year, 2021. I was traveling on a long vacation to pay a visit to my home town at Abia State, Bende local government area. Although, it had been a while since I last visited my home town, but I was a little girl then, so it was to difficult to recall the experiences I had. The trip was a very awful one because it was full with lots of ups and downs.

What problems have you faced and who was with you?

I encountered a lot of problems on that very journey. I was 18 years then. My parents was afraid if I would be able to travel alone without anyone accompanying me. But I made them understand that the journey was going to be a safe one, not knowing that it was going to turn out to be a bad one.

As said earlier, I embarked on the journey alone. I got to the motor park early that morning in order to catch the first bus and also be able to get to my destination before night falls. Just after about an hour, the vehicle had left the shores of the state and everyone, especially me was elated that the driver would be at our final destination soon.

As the journey continued, the bus wasn't longer moving fast as it was when we started the journey. I was worried over this new development. Everyone was not comfortable about this. After some hours, we began to perceive an unpleasant and foul odour from the engine compartment. I shouted on the driver to stop the bus, but latter was defiant as he speed on, but when all the passengers shouted at him, he applied the brake and the bus stopped. After the bus came to a halt and all of us highlighted, we now discovered that engine compartment has blew. It was a major damage in the bus that kept us stranded.

How you managed this situation in the end?

When the engine broke down, it kept us stranded for over an hour. Soon enough, the driver called his engineer, it was being examined. Many passengers including me who were hurrying to meet up with their appointments in their destinations became furious and angry with driver, because he didn't heed to the adviced given to him earlier. Soon, the engineer was done fixing the bus, we entered and continued our journey. But this incident that happened delayed my journey to my home town and made me to arrive late. But, all thanks to God that I finally got to my destination in all that happened that very day.

Thank you for the review..

Una avería en el motor del autobús donde viajaba hacia su pueblo natal retrasó el viaje y, antes de eso, provocó un serio altercado con el conductor porque se negó a detenerse cuando era evidente que el vehículo iba fallando. Lo importante fue que vino un mecánico experto y pudo solventar el percance para continuar el viaje y llegar finalmente a su destino... Éxitos, amiga. saludos.

I have gone through your write up.
Sincerely sorry about the former.
As u also said that worst trip experience are not something we pray for.
I pray such incident will never occur in your life again.

Hello dear, I'm so sorry about what happened to you, vehicles breaking down along the road are usually inevitable. This type of thing happened to me when I went to see my grandpa in the village when I was about 13 years old and I didn't have a phone back then. I finally got to my village very late at night.

I hope you are well I read your post it is the same in our society that parents prevent their teenage children from traveling alone.Sometimes I think they are right because kids at that age don't have enough sense to face the challenges of traveling alone.
Your bus demage down due to which all the passengers were worried. Now when your parents know this and they also know that you are traveling alone, how much they must have been sitting at home and worried.It is thankful that you guys are all safe and no harm was done
