Stories from the road: What we do when things go wrong

It happens to all of us. We plan the perfect trip, and something somehow goes horribly wrong. Sometimes it's terrifying like being robbed. Sometimes it's funny, like getting off the bus at the wrong stop. Sometimes, it's spending four days stuck with no food in a powerless hotel room in a very small beach town in Baja, Mexico while a hurricane does its dirty work all around you. I’m telling you, that first bite of fish taco once we could go outside and restaurants were opened again was the greatest bite of my life. We had to cancel our ferry trip across the Sea of Cortez and book a flight to Mexico City. But it was fun to think on the fly and figure it out.
I learned that peanut butter and bananas are perfect survival foods and there is always calm after the storm. Wait it out, make adjustments, and it’ll all be okay. And you never know what adventures await. Here’s what our Lonely Planet colleagues have experienced on the road and how they’ve solved problems, leaned on the kindness of friends and strangers, and survived to tell the story

Last year, I was flying home from Seoul to New York. My flight was at 4 p.m., but at 8 a.m., when I woke up, I saw that my flight was canceled. The shock! The planning! I was mentally prepped to leave and sit through my 14-hour flight. The airline was able to book me on the first flight the next day, so I arranged to spend the day with a good friend and her mom. They took me out for a delicious meal – where I ate 5lbs of Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles and vegetables) – I did some shopping (and cleared out the Olive Young store) and had the most relaxing last day of the trip. When was the last time you had a relaxing last day of a trip? For me, never. It's usually filled with pre-trip jitters and sad emotions that my trip is coming to an end. But not this time!
What I learned: Don't fight the change—lean into it! Unexpected changes happen all the time. By rolling with the punches, you can have a positive experience.
Top tip for traveling to Seoul: There is a bus that takes you straight from different neighborhoods in Seoul to the airport! You pay in cash when you get on the bus, so no need for pre-planning or booking.

My wife and I had a quick trip from North Carolina to NYC. It's a trip we've done multiple times, so we weren't feeling super stressed or nervous; nothing to stress about, right? Alas, we were a little *too* relaxed, to the point that we parked, strolled into the terminal, got through security, headed for our gate... and realized our gate did not exist. Somehow, we were in the absolute wrong terminal. Enter panic mode. We rushed, rushed, rushed, asked

Capturing the Wonders of Mushrooms Through Dance
Amid the cafes and boutiques of Athens’s Kolonaki neighborhood is a housewares shop that’s also a showcase for Greek craftsmanship. It’s the first brick-and-mortar location for Crini & Sophia, the brand that the former interior and set designer Maya Zafeiropoulou-Martinou founded in 2022. Its wood-and-rattan shelves, two-tone marble floors and furniture are all made by Greek artists, while one window is decorated with a vinelike steel and spray-paint piece by the Cypriot sculptor Socrates Socratous. The shop’s goods are designed by Zafeiropoulou-Martinou, whose inspirations include the colors in Francis Bacon paintings and the Amazon rainforest. Linens are produced in Portugal before being embroidered in Greece with patterns that often take cues from antiques on view at Athens’s Benaki Museum. Hand-painted ceramics and glassware are made in partnership with artisans in New York, Greece, Italy and France. When it comes to designing your own table, Zafeiropoulou-Martinou encourages layering. “The pattern isn’t just the plate or the tablecloth,” she says of her pieces, “but a puzzle of the two on top of each other.”
