2. a) Work in small groups, think about what kind of problems or difficulties people travelling abroad might face. Have you ever experienced any?

b) Read the first part of the article and compare it with your list. Are there any things you haven’t thought of?

While an amazing chance to explore a new place, travel is not without its ups and downs. Blogger Georgina Lawton – who shares her honest travel stories, tips and tricks on her blog

offers her experienced advice on what to do if disaster strikes on vacation.The benefits of travelling are obvious – you try new things, broaden your horizons, discover how to interact with different people and learn how to be alone. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll even fall in love or learn a new skill along the way. But what happens when disaster strikes? Because it will at some point, trust me on that one; some travel problems are pretty much inevitable. Whether it’s getting sick, getting lost, or just getting fed-up with foreign climates, when you find yourself facing a travel problem or three, while hundreds of miles from home, it can push you to your limit and maybe even cause you to cut your trip short.

So that doesn’t happen to you, I’ve chosen six of the most common travel problems.

1. Gross accommodation: So the hotel of your dreams doesn’t quite match the images online. You arrive and find stain-covered carpets, a grime-covered bathroom and four cockroaches crawling way too close to your bed.

2. Getting sick: Falling ill in a country where access to healthcare may be limited or impossible can be scary. And if you don’t have the language skills to explain your symptoms to healthcare professionals sometimes getting sick abroad can even be life-threatening.

3. Feeling lonely: It is normal to feel lost and confused on the road especially if you’re doing it alone, but it is a travel problem, feeling lonely or homesick can turn a dream trip into a total nightmare.

4. Language barriers: Not being understood in foreign countries is discouraging. In fact, it’s making you feel more than a little alienated and frustrated.

5. Losing your stuff: You could have sworn you had your phone / passport / camera at that last bus terminal or hotel. And now you don’t.

6. Delayed / missed flights: Nobody likes being stranded in an airport because of a delayed flight or missed connection and it can be one of the most expensive travel problems to put right.

c) What do you think are the solutions?

d) Read the second part. Match the pieces of advice and possible solutions to the problems in the first part.

1: It’s never too late to brush up on your language skills; making even a very basic effort will endear you to locals and make your trip far more enjoyable in the process. Download a language app to practise anywhere, go to a local language school for a few hours a day and take each opportunity to immerse yourself in your new culture.

2: Be sure to keep in contact with your airline both before and on the day of flying. Check the status of the flight online and also through the airline app (if available) so you’re always aware of any changes to your itinerary.

3:Bite the bullet and get out there to start communicating with people if you want to feel less scary at first, learning a little of a way to make solid social connections with others. Most of the time people will be receptive if they can see you’re really trying.

4: Always pack a first-aid kit that is also equipped with any additional medication you might need to treat yourself. Also, check with your insurance provider about what’s covered and what you should be taking.

5: Planning ahead for possible losses is smart; make copies of your passport before you set off, store the address and number of your foreign embassy in your phone or bag in case of emergencies and always split-store your money.

6: Simply knowing your rights as a consumer before you set off can put everything right. If you booked through a tour operator, they are responsible for fixing your issue and you should contact them right away. Similarly, if it’s an Airbnb* that’s let you down, they offer assistance in finding a new place and / or a refund.
