WHAT TO DO When Traveling Goes Wrong???
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2024
- We all love hearing amazing travel stories and about beautiful places around the world but what happens when something goes wrong? We might be the most prepared travelers, it doesn’t mean we won’t find ourselves in certain situations because we’re human, we’re not perfect. So what do we do to get out of these situations? How do we overcome them? That’s what I’ll be talking about in this video.

This is why we love travelling so much, not only do you get to see what this beautiful world has to offer, but you also learn very valuable life skills. Thanks for sharing Poppy ❤
Thanks I'm glad you enjoy hearing about this side of travel. I feel like nobody ever wants to talk about this and it's so important that we do!
I could just sit there all day listening to your stories. You have this way of captivating attention and not allowing the viewer to get bored after 4 minutes. I was interested the entire time. You're good!!! Keep up the great work. From Sydney, Australia!
Aw thanks Daniel! I'm flying to Sydney this month by the way! Going to explore the land down unda! haha
One thing I have started to do is have a separate bank account to travel with (I use Starling app at the moment because they don't charge to withdraw money abroad) and transfer funds into there. If it gets stolen, lost or fraud, it is just the money in that account and has no connection to my wages or general transactions :) I take my normal cards as well as back up but they don't always go out and about with me.
When you talked about being drugged, I wondered if that was what happened to me (you talking about it has only just made me think about). It was in Phenom Phen and I got back at night, and everything just felt weird, I was really hot and thirsty and I swear I could see rice falling from the ceiling. I don't drink, so this was really odd for me, I wrote it off as dehydration; but I am just wondering now. (this is Helen from Patreon btw :) )
Hey Helen! Thanks for telling me, it's hard to know who is who with different usernames haha. That's an awesome idea of having different bank accounts. I looked into this actually but for some reason never decided to do it. I mean, it's quite possible something was slipped in your drink. But either way, you made it out okay and were safe and that's what matters!
We use Starling too!
I do exactly the things you mentioned. I keep an emergency 2x $100 bills with a passport card and atm card in a Starbucks breath mint tin. The tin is exactly the same size as a credit card. Now the atm cards work on your phone. Great other safety tip is a no one ever store a Starbucks coffee cup. Get one, put a couple napkins in it and then jewelry, cash or even small phone. I also use metal tie wraps on every zipper to slow down thieves. Get a pacsafe bag. The shoulder strap is a security strap and will attach to a chair etc and can’t be cut. The entire bag has a chicken wire mesh and can’t be slashed. Those are my tips. Starbucks mint tin, coffee cup safe, pacsafe bags
That's a genius idea to store your extra card and money in a mint can. I've never thought about that, although I would be slightly scared I'd accidentally throw it away haha...This is kind of gross but I've heard of people storing their keys and wallet in a "poopy diaper" and leaving it on the beach while they go swimming. In reality, it's just chocolate smeared over a clean diaper but this way nobody will go near it and their stuff is "safe" in theory haha.
Where's Poppy I have two mints and have never thrown them out. Been doing it for about 12 years. Hard for me to carry a diaper around, people might talk... or think I’m lazy
Great information. Thanks Poppy. Many people are concerned about 'what to do if...' Travelling with children makes us feel more vulnerable. Looking forward to part 2 of the video!
Thank you! :)
Love these personal experience videos, Poppy.
Please keep doing them, they're so helpful!
Awesome will do!
Wheres Poppy - The ultimate travel guide ☺
haha hell yeah!
@@WheresPoppy Have an awesome week ! 😉 😊 🌞
I've been watching for this one! As always, well done! Looking forward to Part 2!
Thank you!! :)
A great honest video poppy. I'm sure sharing like this will help people. Good for you
Hey Poppy, what a long list of problems you may encounter, hopefully you haven't experience in all of them.
But I think there is one big advantage, if you travel not alone, youre getting help even it is only mentally.
All the best, and enjoy traveling and reporting to us and keep this kind of happy person you are !!
Thanks Christian!
Thanks for the advice. We got stuck in southern China one time, big storm came in, they close all the boats that was going back to Hong Kong we stay at the hotel the stop last for one day, while in Hong Kong I almost got run over by motorcycle one of my family members yell at that the motorcycle was coming so I up on to the sidewalk, I always travel with family members or friends, is safe that way
I know what that's like, living in Shenzhen during Typhoon season was crazy! At the same time really exciting because I'd never experienced anything like it haha...I prefer traveling with friends too!
I agree， the typhoon season in southern China is getting worse and worse
Great topic Poppy,can't wait for part two.I think a key point you made is we are all reliant on the goodwill of others.This is true regardless of if your travelling or going about your normal business in your own hometown and community.All people need to be aware of others they encounter who are behaving oddly or with criminal intent.People with bad intentions are going to be constantly scoping for targets of there activities and a lack of situation awareness could put you in the crosshairs.I'm sure the ATM scams are quite a good earner for them for example and quite hard for the cops to catch.
Thanks Eric! Yep agreed, bad guys are everywhere and we should be constantly on the look out no matter where we are. At the same time, we do need to enjoy life and have faith in people. It's all about finding that good balance.
Thanks, for the practical travel tips.
Initially, I did cover myself with a travel health insurance policy. But later I learned to bring some medications, (never consumed anyway) like .....
1 Fever tablets for sudden change in weather conditions, and
2 Diarrhoea tablets, for eating street foods, just in case.
Happy holidays.
Cheers
Yeah medications are good too but I'm talking about being covered for when you must visit a hospital because that bill can be pricey!
I withdrew cash from ATM's in Kuta Bali and had no problems at all... however I did only use Indomaret or Circle K ATM's
Not all of them are scams, but it's hard to know which ones are so I just would avoid it to be safe. But you do you!
@@WheresPoppy really what like take all your money that you need out before you get there? I'm not so keen on this.
This is really helpful Poppy!! Good video idea. And I’m glad you mentioned the travel insurance :)
Thanks Tyler! haha yeah shouldn't travel without that insurance, I wonder who would do that... ;) haha
Its so helpful. Thanks for this. So much love to u poppy 😊
Thank you Honey :)
Thanks poppy that is some very good advice . You are always very informative
Thanks Ronald!
Thanks for the tips poppy!!
Glad you found it helpful!
@@WheresPoppy definitely did!!
Hi, Poppy. Hope you are doing well. I find when traveling that things go wrong when you try to compress too many activities or ideas into
One trip. Good traveling should be enjoyable and not stressful and disappointing. Traveling at a slower pace, never assuming others are
Going to respect your property, taking precautions and regular inventory of your things/passport/cash as you travel can help, though no single
Plan is going to be foolproof. Using cash vs debit card or credit card is sometimes more secure, even though plastic is more convenient. In any transaction, look at your surroundings and ask yourself if scammers could steal personal information/card numbers. Simple cash and discreet
Use of the internet/smart phone also means less chance of getting scammed. Travel Health Insurance, as you say, is a good idea. I was promised care by my travel agent when I went to China, and when I got there, and came down w a throat infection, the tour company did not come though with any care. Have a backup plan or pick up Imodium/meds before you depart. But still love your video and think it is a good idea
To help others prepare for their trip. Stay safe and lovely.
Some embassies have a way to register that you are travelling, saves time in situations gone wrong. The US one is called STEP. We keep all items in a safe or on us. We also keep separate cards and only take money out of ATMs and use cash as little as possible. Water proof bags for water activities. Being seen with the cash is often what gets you followed. Even better at a large hotel which the watches the ATM more closely. All great tips, they can install a reader on the ATM, I even check my local ATM here in HK. Probiotic tablets are a great idea and something to deal with if that doesn't work. Most places sell imodium or similar. Do not feel bad, drugging is a common thing in the Philippines. Also cases of them getting your email (you share with a new friend) and they hack your email and notify your contacts that you are stuck in Philippines to send money to a Western Union...where they collect your money. I would never get in the vehicle and I've lived outside my home country 20 years, have local residency, would not do it. Hope all is going well with your student loans.....great life plan.

If it is still the same guy, watch the Bali vids.
Good tips. I’ve been mugged and pick pocketed in Ecuador. Got ripped off on a money exchange in Bali.
Oh goodness, hope you got through that okay!
Fantastic shared info for all travellers, especially when you (unfortunately) speak from experience...always be aware of your surroundings, no matter where you are... looking forward to your Part II video on this subject! Take care Poppy!! 🙂🇨🇦
Thank you DaViD! Yeah it's unfortunate almost all of this happened to me but oh well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Very helpful video Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Looking fabulous as always. I hope and pray hyper aboundance of Grace unto you and Evan.
Thank you!
Thanks Poppy, very useful advice, mater of fact priceless ❤
Thanks Suliman!
Great advice Poppy
Thanks Steve!
8:00 I too got drugged in the Philippines. I sent back a meal. When I got up, I crashed to the ground. An Ozzie helped my back to my hotel. That and so many MORE things? I'll never return to the Philippines.
That's really scary! Glad someone was there to help you!
@@WheresPoppy A taxi driver told me his story. He owned a karaoke bar but left the country to work abroad. When he returned, the manager gained control of it, so he became an employee of the company he started. The manager was gay and turned it into a gay bar, and resented the founder for not being gay. The manager stabbed him, he said. He pulled up his shirt and showed me the scar. It went from his throat down all the way. No more Philippines for me!
@@WheresPoppy I worry about you a lot. I saw what happened in India.
love Poppy for keeping it real instead of only showing the good parts
Thank you! Glad you appreciate this!
Wow really loved this one Poppy. Got that right. Very helpfull indeed. Btw you really looking great today.
Thank you and thank you! haha
This was super helpful, ty
I'm glad!
*You are a lifesaver, Poppy*
Thanks Ankan!
Great job with this video.
Thank you!
Easy. Go to the nearest us embassy or us consulate.
I found a peephole with a camera above my bed at a guesthouse in Malaysia. I also had cash taken from my wallet while intoxicated in Chiang Mai. Another mishap in Thailand was getting bitten by a soi dog.
Oh boy that’s crazy with the camera thing! Did you go to the doctor or historical after the dog bite? I’m always nervous about stuff like that
@@WheresPoppy I scrubbed the wound with soap and water and dried it in the sun. At the first sign of inflammation I would have seen a doctor. Luckily, everything was okay.
Jordan is here in my country i wish you also come so i can have selfie with you
With my dangerous encounters like knives and guns held to my head is to remain calm also. Lots of situations. One time this guy had a gun to the back of my chair and kept saying I'm gonna spray this motha fuxa over and over. His buddy kept saying don't put that away. They just got into a fight and i happened to be tbeir get away driver on accident. They were whispering on taking me somewhere and robbing me. I just remained calm like nothing happened no worries. Staying calm helped me to manipulate my situation for me own benefit. They tipped me and payed me out of fear. They went to jail the next day. Due to the fight prior. I picked up both parties involved in the fight. I should've turned them in sooner but i didn't luckily they got busted anyways.
oh man this is terrifying just reading this! I'm so sorry this happened to you but I'm really glad you were able to stay calm and get through this! Staying calm is truly the key and you are so brave that you were able to do this and manipulate them. Any other tips for what to do in these situations? I'm assuming you went to the police afterwards?
@@WheresPoppy i didnt go to the feds cause i won't make any money that way. They got busted for the fight prior. It was all in the paper the next day. I been through lots of situations. My first day i almost got robbed or setup. I wasnt going in an alley in the ghetto. 12 hr night shifts 7 days a week making peanuts. Those were the days. I cant go to the cops everytime a bullet hits my car or someone flashes a gun. That's Gary Indiana for ya. Learn from experiences and be aware of your surroundings. Stuff can go sour even with someone u think u know in a split second. I gotta think hard in putting into words the mantality i had in such situations.
@@WheresPoppy be as gentle as a dove and tacticle as a snake, be like the four faces of Christ, and prayer.
@@WheresPoppy We all support you. Life is tough.. I had a weird dream days ago that I lost everything including the passport, money, cards , cell phone in Moscow... and it is very freezing sleeping on the street. ....
That's not a weird dream that's a nightmare! haha
Ginger chews from Trader Joes do wonders for an upset stomach. Then there are also Pepto Bismal tablets that you can carry around.
Yeah, I got my bank info stolen in Kuta as well. I had to have my bank card sent to my mom and have her express ship it by dhl to me in Thailand.
Oh no!! Yeah that's what I was going to have to do in Mexico, via dhl which is expensive overseas! It's really ridiculous in my opinion, I think banks should cover this and have a way of shipping it fast.
Also someone mentioned the diff bank account for traveling. Apple Pay is also secure.
Apple pay is good but just accepted everywhere is the problem. And places like China for example, don't take card so you must pull out cash if you have a foreign card.
Where's Poppy that’s my only beef. Now that it’s working in atm machines it’s genius.
I had my appendix removed on-line. It was a very slow connection and I almost didn't make it. The ad pop-ups almost killed me. :-)
some good pointers Poppy! I can only relate to the getting sick part so far. in all the times I have traveled overseas I have never gotten sick until last week. I was in Lima and my allergies hit. first day ok it will pass second day I went to a street pharmacy like they have all over south America and the girl there hooked me up took my 2 pills that cost me 30 cents and I was good the rest of my trip lol
Thanks Billy! Yep that's usually how it goes! haha
Very good advice especially about Travel Insurance we see to many who say I am fit young and healthy don't need it ha ha get it. Coming from you in the Manor you presented it a lot of travelers will take notice thank you for posting this stay safe see ya
Thank you Bene! I hope they do!
I would be very panicked if anything went wrong.

Where's Poppy?
wish you could be back China and show us more of China ! Love you
Second!!!!!

TH-cam broke that day when your account was messed up. I saw a video the next day I'm pretty sure.
Really? Can you send me the video? I'm curious
Let's go sago!
Very beautiful 😍
bravo
thanks!
So Poppy you can't eat ice cream?!
not anymore no :((((...coconut milk ones yeah
what do you mean "not anymore" ? Were you at some point could eat ice cream? @@WheresPoppy
allergic to dairy ?
ginger is the cure.
hmm not sure that will work
Back on your boat Poppy. Sorry I ever doubted u. This seems pretty specific to women though. Men can fall into a lot of other traps so you should do some interviews with a man about all this stuff as well. Honestly, men do make up most travelers without those support groups though.
Maybe you'll enjoy part II better than, I don't think any of them are specific to men
or women
Hey Poppy....u shud try nd do some ASMR video ...something abt yr voice nd mannerism...it's soothing nd friendly...u'll deff gain tons of new subscribers 😊🤗
What’s ASMR? Haha thanks!
@@WheresPoppy something like this ...th-cam.com/video/DcpL4AjPK2s/w-d-xo.html
Not first
So who's first? haha
Medicine. Back up.
You should get some Crypto. Nowadays you can use that instantly in most places.
Third lol
I pray before travel & I purchase good travel insurance and pray while on the trips of course no matter how much you prep before trips things can still go wrong , so I watch crap aka dice games from time to time because when you travel it's a sort of crap/dice game . I let my bank know before I travel , The State Dept Pass Port has a card pass port size like a driver license for 55.00 so you can leave your book pass port in your hotel safe while in the country you are in . Despite all of this things can go wrong so get travel medical insurance , veterans should take their FMP Documents Foreign Medical Program . I travel to dangerous countries on line on you tube and cry at the sad tragic stories and it's great to watch these shows and know u can ask why would the victim travel there in the first place .
That's good to do and I'm sure it helps! All good ways of being prepared!
As long you still have your kidneys and other organs... All will be fine
Hey Poppy, u r looking hot in this red outfit. Your hair look gorgeous. Your admirer Peace keeper 😊😚
