Triggerhappy and gunshy
I have a reputation amongst my friends for getting sick or having stupid things happen during vacation. My most ridiculous trip is def Turkey.

My purse was robbed when I was sleeping on an overnight bus but they at least only took my cash and left me enough to get a taxi. One of the buses I was on was stopped by the Turkish army/police and they checked all the passengers documentation. After they looked at my passport they started asking me angry questions in Turkish but I don't understand Turkish so I kept saying sorry that I didn't understand and trying to make confused facial expressions and eventually they gave up trying to question me. Once I got back to Istanbul I wandered around and ended up in Galata and everything was vandalized! Turns out I was there for the Taksim Square protest in 2013 which was very confusing and a little scary as I had no clue why people were protesting. There was so much tear gas in the air that I would start crying when I was just walking around. Also people kept catcalling me and trying to cop feels on public transportation and that was pretty annoying!

Other incidents include:
New Orleans - Stomach virus during a road trip to New Orleans that started in Gainesville. Puked out of a moving car. Ended up in the ER during Mardi Gras for dehydration without even drinking anything!
Costa Rica - I was hit by a taxi in San Jose. Walked it off.
Vietnam - Slipped in a natural spring and chipped my front tooth :(
